Vehicle had a mechanical issue in that it was misfiring and jerking. Driver used mobile phone while driving. Actual places we visited were what we were expecting and facilities were clean and well maintained.
This is an excellent tour. You get to see some of the most beautiful and interesting places of Mauritius. You also get to experience some of the cultural places of this beautiful country. My guide, Prashant, was terrific! He is very knowledgeable, helpful and a pleasure to be with. Again, this is a fantastic tour!
Punctuality and Courtesy important features for a very nice and suggestive tour like this. If you also keep in mind the flexibility to set small variations according to personal needs, it enhances even more this experience that I highly recommend to live. Lunch was not included but they took us to a restaurant where we really enjoyed everything! Bravo
