Our guide was excellent, the Aapravasti Ghat Centre was great. There was a good selection and variety of foods. We were very full at the end. Our favourite food was a sweet potato bun with sesame seeds, delicious.

Very good. If you want to take a look at Port Louis it is the great choice. You don't need to check where to go, and will see all sightseeing places. And of course street food and the market were also good.
