Port Louis: Northern Treasures Private Tour

This excursion will introduce you to the city of Port Louis, founded in 1735 by Mahe de Labourdonnais, where you will visit the historic Fort Adelaide also known as the Citadel. Built by the English in 1835 and is one of the few fortifications of British origin remaining on the island. From here, you'll enjoy a view stretching over almost the entire city. Your next stop will be a visit to the central market (also known as the bazaar). Here you will be amazed by the variety of products you will find - fruits, vegetables, scent sticks, spices, pashmina, and linen are amongst the most sold products. Your next stop will be at the Caudan Waterfront, a modern precinct facing the harbor. Its 170 boutiques display beautiful collections of local designers and famous brands. Its craft market is an open bazaar, impregnated by exotic scents of spices, souvenirs, and basketry. Then, visit the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, renamed Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden, and the highlight of any visit to the north. It is the oldest botanical garden in the southern hemisphere, dating back to 1735. Admire a magnificent collection of local and exotic plants, a variety of giant water lilies, rare plants from Mascarene, the baobab, giant palms, and the Talipot palm, whose flower only blossoms after 50 years.

Sailen was a very good guide!!!! I particularly liked his expert tour of the Garden Pamplemousse It was a very nice and interesting day with Sailen In Port Louis we had lunch and then went to the market There was also a lot of information about the fruits that were on offer The long trip there and back to Le Morne also included a lot of information about the island and the people All in all I can highly recommend the tour with Sailen Martina from Germany

Ibrahim our driver and your guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about the island of Mauritius and was genuinely interested in what we wanted from the tour. Nothing was too much trouble for him and we felt safe in Port Louis with his advice and guidance. We have gained a wealth of knowledge from this tour and our love of Mauritius is set for life. We recommend this your without hesitation.

The best tour. and the most important thing to mention Mr. Ibrahim, excellent guide and human. if we have not met him then this journey would have become totally incomplete. He is a knowledgeable and very educated person., with some hours spent with him , seems from ages we know him.

It was a wonderful day with Saulin :) I've rarely experienced a guide who explained things so well, knew the best insiders, and was so responsive to my personal needs. Simply a fantastic day.
