About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 298hayleyg0 contributionsFun day outWe had a wonderful day, thank you Agi. We ran late at the park, but Agi patiently waited for us. Good meal at the restaurant.Written 9 December 2024
- bellevuesummit0 contributionsMust Do to visit MauritiusOur guide was super caring and fully explained history and accompanied us to every sight. He gave us a full day tour from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to drop us off at the cruise terminal. The lunch was excellent as well. We had a great time. The South was full of great naure which is highly recommended to go, very scenic. I would go with this company for the south tour, a must do to visit Mauritius.Written 8 December 2024
- carmensQ2007WS0 contributionsDisappointedFiasco. It was not a guided tour. It was more that we rented a car with a driver. I was expecting someone to truly provide info and guidance. Plus, the food offered was substandard. Very dissatisfied.Written 7 December 2024
- Deano M0 contributionsHighlights of MauritiusOur driver Nitin was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We got picked up from the cruise port and drove through the city getting a quick history lesson and learning some local lingo. We got to see the black river gorge, visited a local cashmere shop ,got blessed at a massive shrine, went zip lining at Les Vallee des couleurs then had a great typical lunch. Highly recommend this tour.Written 7 December 2024

- joolsj300 contributions5 island Ile Aux Cerfs experienceThe trip was fantastic but slightly let down by transfer taxi which was a 5 seater salmon for 4 adults with no air con and a 2 hour+ journey each wayWritten 26 November 2024
- K2863BCheatherb0 contributionsGreat overview of Mauritius.We wanted to make sure we got out of the hotel resort and see this beautiful island. This private tour was a full day and we got to see many interesting areas which provided us a comprehensive overview of Mauritius, right down to the South Coast. Our driver was very knowledgeable and was able to tell us about life living in Mauritius. It also gave us an idea of how it is like diving in Mauritius and we now feel comfortable enough to hire a car and explore more and possibly enjoy some hikes. Very much recommend.Written 25 November 2024
- Sherpa523482290260 contributionsSouth Mauritius experienceThis was an excellent day out. Our driver, Kevin was very personable and very knowledgeable and made our Mauritius experience for filling. We would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to get a good impression of the South part of the island notably the history, the people and the culture of a very interesting place.Written 22 November 2024

- GarthD_130 contributionsjust 2 lost kids….great day out, loved seeing the island in a bit more detail. Daren our guide was great and knowledgeable which added to our experience. was a nice break from the sun.Written 16 November 2024
- Resort097450579590 contributionsPleasant drive.Driver was lovely but we didn't see all the stops as described, e.g. the Chamuny Waterfall. No bottled water as promised and the three-course lunch was only a curry followed by a scoop of ice cream. The coloured earth was disappointing and looked nothing like the pictures. Perhaps it was the wrong time of the day to see the colours but I wonder why timing is not taken into consideration by tour organisers?Written 13 November 2024
- 722andyq0 contributionsGood day outWe started well with good advanced communication from our driver/guide Agi. He was on time at pick up. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. We saw lots of things we would otherwise not have seen. We didn’t stay too long in any one place which for us was good. This was a private tour for just my wife and myself.Written 13 November 2024

The weather on the day of our trip was very wet, so we got a few soakings throughout the day. Many of the sights were closed due to the weather, so can’t really comment on many of them. The rum tasting was very good and a lovely location, and the Sacred Lake and Temple would have been excellent had it been dry and mist free.
The promised water wasn’t available, so we bought some. The drinks at lunch were charged because ‘diet’ soft drinks were not included as non-alcoholic. The driver spent time while driving, searching for and showing us various local accidents on his mobile phone.

We took a private tour of the southwest of Mauritius, and it was an outstanding experience. Our tour guide, Aniket, was nothing short of brilliant. His in-depth knowledge of the area, coupled with a genuine passion for sharing it, made the tour truly memorable. Aniket's friendly demeanor, excellent communication skills, and flexibility added an extra layer of enjoyment to the trip. The itinerary was well-crafted, allowing us to explore hidden gems and iconic landmarks. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Aniket as your guide, for an enriching and personalised journey through the beautiful southwest of Mauritius.

The day started when our driver for the day (Manu) turned up early to great us, the day ran smoothly and without effort. Manu was very knowledgable on the area and Mauritian culture. He was exceptionally accommodating and friendly and a safe driver. A fantastic experience to visit the dormant volcano and Alexandra falls, with a quick stop to hydrate on fresh coconuts and browse the local artisan stalls. Manu who has a keen interest in photography, took some amazing family shots…far better than our iPhone imagery abilities! We then went onto visit a local tea production plant, sampling a range of produce and meeting a friendly wild boar and its piglets, something our son particularly enjoyed. Afterwards we visited the 23 sands, who offer a range of transportation around the park. We opted to walk allowing us to see the wildlife. He also got the chance to meet the giant tortoise, initially mistaken as a large bench. Absolutely worth the visit!! We then went to a beach viewpoint to grab some lunch and soak in the beauty of the coastline. We sadly didn’t stop off at the rum venue as our son was a little tired but even without the extra stop off the trip was value for money and well worth it. Manu was a great guide and spoke excellent English and was also fluent in other languages. A very pleasant young man who made the experience extra special.

Most of day is in car; no options for lunch location despite beautiful possibilities within the park - was told I had to eat at their friend’s restaurant yet it looked like a dive. I had paid double for this trip because they didn’t have a solo option and I was travelling alone. Totally felt like i was bamboozled for the price I paid.

Trying not to be brutal here, but the driver/guide picked us up and informed us that a few of the days already paid for choices we were not going to go see... He said that gris gris beach wasn't as good as our hotels beach so not going there, not taking us to curious corner as its full of puzzles and our 2yr old wouldn't enjoy it. And a couple of view pionts were rubbish and he would show us others as we were driving aka stopping at the side of the road. The 3course meal was at some local chamarel corner of the road cafe. We didn't go to the rhumerie as he said it would be over an hour and made out it was just too much trouble. We decided to just agree and get back to the hotel.... And on the way he fell asleep at the wheel and I offered to drive us home. He stopped for a drink and we finally got back safe and sound but absolutely underwhelmed by the whole experience.
Avoid at all costs.

We were picked up at the hotel by a 19-year-old driver who tried to do his best but had never travelled with customers. No licensed guide! No knowledge of the route and sights. The trip was interrupted 9 times because the driver had to consult with his boss. Twice, even with navigation on, he's taken the wrong road. We had an all-in package and the tour company did not want to pay for the included lunch. We had to wait almost an hour in a terrible restaurant before this issue was resolved. The most beautiful attraction (Valley des Couleurs) was only reached at 16:30, while the park reception closed at 17:00. A full day (8 hours) of travel without any insight, organization or appreciation towards the clients. Never use this organization- Freshverde Holidays!

Our driver for the day arrived at our hotel promptly at 8.30,he stopped and bought us some bottled water.We then visited all the sights,our driver was very knowledgeable and told us all about the places we were visiting,I personally enjoyed the Chamarel Rum Distillery the most,its a beautiful place and the rum is delicious but very strong!!.We were taken for a lovely lunch halfway through the day.
I enjoyed the day,some reviews say it is expensive but with all the entry fees,lunch,private taxi and guide included I feel the price was fair and a lot easier than organising this myself.

Great all inclusive trip if you are prepared to do a lot of driving in one day. We were happy to experience so many sights all at once but it is a very long day. Unfortunately it didn’t come with an English speaking guide as stated in the details. Our driver simply dropped us off at each destination and told us to go explore which meant we had no idea what we were looking at. Generally quite a few of the sights have no information as to what you’re viewing so a guide is really needed to obtain a full experience. The lunch was borderline disappointing and we would propose to the organisers to rather cut out the Curious Corner of Chamarel, which was a waste of time, and reuse that budget to upgrade the lunch.

Really poor experience. We didn’t do more than half the stuff on the itinerary without explanation, no refund offered. There was no Black River Gorges, no Alexandria Falls, no tea factory, no grand basin, no Valle des coulers or Rhumerie de Saint Aubin. What’s more, the park we did go to, we had to spend an additional £240 as it is only traversable by Quad Bike. Very disappointed customer.

We were staying in the North West. This was a private tour for just the two of us. Our driver Agi picked us up and drove us down to the south west, explaining what we would see on the way. He was a great guy who drove well and safely and was careful to make sure we were looked after.
This was a full day packed with tea tasting, run tasting, visits to National Parks and La Valee Des Colours.
The tour gave us an excellent insight in to the south west of the island and we were able to go quad biking and do other outdoor activities at La Valee Des Colours even though it rained a bit.
Agi waited for us at each stop giving us clear time guidelines given the amount of ground we had to cover. However, he did not mind that we ran late on one or two of the stops.
We were dropped back to our hotel at the end of a very enjoyable day.

We will be arriving in Port Louis by cruise ship. It appears you will pick up at the cruise pier. If we are picked up there can we be dropped off at our hotel on the return? If so is there room in the vehicle for our luggage? (2 suitcases and 2 backpacks)
Thank you!
