Our driver/guide Hans was very friendly (having been on a tour already we didn't need the history of the island) and happy to answer any questions. The botanical garden was lovely (although the wrong time of year for flowers) and the sugar factory very interesting and the included rum tasting very good. The view from the hill fort were worth the trip up there. Hans recommend lunch from the market instead of a restaurant and the roti and samosa and sweet milk drink were delicious. Although it was a very long day (we are staying in the south of the island) the tour was well worth doing.
Surprisingly good day with the guide . A little delay which was said to be traffic in morning Port Louis but overall as 1st time using these services. Lunch was great we had noodles and chicken eggs. Museum was ok for history lovers and I rate this experience an eight. Guide was average but brought us everywhere safely. Tickets are included as mentioned but we needed to wait in a small queue in botanical .
