Excursão gastronômica de rua em Port-Louis

Christophe was our guide for this tour and he was amazing. We sampled lots of local cuisine which was delicious. The tour was well paced with no rush to finish the food, his knowledge of the island history and local plants & animals was fantastic to learn. We had a great time!

Christopher was a great guide, who not only introduced us to new foods but also the history of and nature in Mauritius. From dholl puri to alouda sorbet, and boulette, it was a tasty adventure! We had a beautiful day for it and it ends in Caudan Waterfront where you can easily do some shopping afterwards. It was an easy pace though note there were stairs and steps in several parts should mobility be an issue.

Amazing expérience. Our guide had a lot of knowledge and could answer all of our questions on the food and history of Mauritius😊 it wasnt just a great food experience but also a fun history tour!

Authentic insight into the capital of Mauritius and the culinary world. With additional short visits to museums. You cover quite a bit of distance, so you should be in good walking condition.

Tour was canceled, guide took Ill. Hope he’s feeling better.Waiting on refund. Did another tour of the city and foods. Amazing place!

Lots of walking but great experience. Plenty of food and water. Lots of history, guide excellent.. lots of photo stops

Rudy was an extraordinary guide. We discovered the specialties of Mauritius, and the tastings were surprising. Thank you for everything!!

Quite disappointing. The food was very cheap and not very unique (one dish was Chinese fried noodles) and a lot of walking and standing, including standing when eating. The tour was more of a walking tour with cheap food included, rather than discovering anything Mauritian or foodie. I have been on many food tours, and unfortunately was definitely the worst one.

Loving travelling and food we have done more than 30 food tours across many different countries. Sadly, this was the worst food tour experience we had so far. To begin with, the tour started 45 minutes late (11:15 instead of 10:30). We had to wait a very long time before finally starting. The tour was conducted in a mix of French and English. We paid for a 3 hour tour expecting to learn about the local food, culture, and history, but because the guide constantly switched between mainly French and limited English, it felt like we received less than one hour of proper information in English. The information itself was very general and we spend a lot of time rushing through the streets. The food was extremely cheap local fast food. Filling, but absolutely not worth paying a 50€ food tour: - One dholl puri/roti with tomato and bean filling – around 25 rupees (€0.50) - One banana pie piece – around 40–80 rupees (€1) - Another roti/farata Dahl with slightly different dough similar filling as first– again around 25 rupees (€0.50) - Fast fried Chinese noodles with one vegetable and one chicken dumpling – around 125 rupees (€2) - One local drink (Alouda or juice) – around 50–85 rupees (€1–1.50) After that, we were rushed through a local market where the guide briefly pointed at a vegetable and simply mentioned it was the local cucumber. We were taken into a very touristy mall that clearly catered only to tourists. Inside, he took us to a spice shop with extremely inflated prices. The guide told us he would leave for a moment to organise a “special surprise” only for us and asked us to wait there and buy some spices. The “special surprise” turned out to be a free tea tasting in a shop that was already openly offering free tea tastings to everyone, as clearly advertised on the door. The guide left us there because he had an important appointment, leaving us to do the tea tasting by ourselves. This was around 13:35. In total, we probably received no more than 40 minutes of actual information in English during the entire tour. The food value itself was not more than €5–7 in total, consisting mostly of cheap fast food, making the 50€ price completely unjustified. I am writing this review as a warning for other travellers so they can avoid wasting their money on this experience.

Our guide was the absolute best, I had a fantastic time, the food was amazing, a great variety, from sweet to savory, from Chinese, to Indian to creole to I don‘t have a clue :-). The walk through the town was amazing, the funny stories and history facts just made it sooo much better. And on top a fun group of poeple. thanks for everything and best regards grom Switzerland
