Great tour of Port Louis and Pamplemousses Gardens
Javid was an excellent guide and driver, giving us an interesting and informative day out. His knowledge of the flora and fauna of Pamplemousses Gardens was unexpected and incredibly interesting. Javid organised our day-we just told him what we wanted to do and did it in the best way. One of the best holiday trips we have ever had and a pleasure to meet such an experienced pleasant man.

Fantastic day - exceeded expectations
We had a wonderful day. It was so much more than having a private car. Dinesh was incredibly knowledgeable and told us the history of Mauritius. He also helped us tailor the day to suit us. With three girls - 13, 10, 7 this was incredibly helpful. We went to Chamarel and saw the seven coloured earth and waterfall, Vanilla animal sanctuary where we fed the giant tortoises, we also did some gorgeous view points, black river gorge and the volcano. A really memorable day.
Operator response
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback!

We are also pleased that you enjoyed the highlights of the South-West, from Chamarel and the Seven Coloured Earth to the Vanilla Animal Sanctuary, Black River Gorges, the viewpoints, and the volcano.
We will certainly share your kind words with Dinesh, as we are sure he will be delighted to know that he contributed to making your day so enjoyable.
Thank you once again for choosing Mautourco, and we hope to welcome you and your family back to Mauritius in the future!

A great day with Raggoo as an excellent guide.
We just took a tour of the southern part of the island with Raggoo as an excellent guide!!
We had a wonderful day. He passionately told us the history of Mauritius, introduced us to local crafts, the different cultures, and more specifically his own with a visit to Grand Bassin.
In short, a day we will not forget.
Thank you, Raggoo, for your kindness.

TOUR OPERATOR FULL OF PETIES
HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT, we settled a taxi for 5 hours for a transfer from hotel to hotel, we were allowed to stop only at one place all for 6,700 rupees; more unfriendly welcome; we felt we were fooled since we enjoyed the transport only 3 hours; we gave our feeling and in reaction they shifted us an hour for the transfer to the airport on the last day, making us arrive 1h30 before the time of the flight, whereas the delay is 3 hours. A lot of pettiness at this tour operator that I obviously advise against.
Operator response
Chers Monsieur,
Nous vous remercions d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre retour avec nous et sommes sincèrement désolés d’apprendre que cette sortie n’a pas pleinement répondu à vos attentes.
Après vérification auprès de nos équipes et analyse des données GPS de notre véhicule, nous comprenons que vous aviez réservé une voiture avec chauffeur pour une durée de 5 heures. L’heure de prise en charge communiquée par notre représentant était 13h00. Notre chauffeur est arrivé à l’hôtel à 12h57 et est resté sur place jusqu’à 13h40.
Selon les informations recueillies, vous êtes arrivés à Bois Chéri vers 15h02 et avez quitté les lieux à 15h50, avant de regagner l’hôtel Shandrani à 16h30. À votre arrivée, il semblerait que seule la dégustation de thé ait pu être effectuée, la visite de l’usine étant déjà fermée dans l’après-midi.
Après cette visite, notre chauffeur nous informe vous avoir proposé de découvrir d’autres endroits dans les environs, notamment dans le Sud-Est ou à Mahébourg, ainsi que de faire un arrêt au Plaisance Mall ou au Beau Vallon Mall. Ces suggestions n’ayant pas été retenues, il vous a ensuite reconduits à votre hôtel.
Nous comprenons néanmoins que cette expérience n’ait pas été aussi agréable que vous l’espériez et en sommes sincèrement désolés.
Par ailleurs, sauf erreur de notre part, votre vol de départ était prévu à 18h20, avec une prise en charge organisée à 15h20. Les passagers sont généralement invités à se présenter entre deux et trois heures avant l’heure de départ afin d’effectuer les formalités d’enregistrement et de sécurité dans les meilleures conditions.
Nous vous remercions encore pour votre retour, qui nous permet de rester attentifs à la qualité des services fournis à nos clients.
Nous restons bien entendu à votre entière disposition pour toute information complémentaire.
Cordialement,
Le Service Clientele

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you enjoyed your excursions with Mautourco and that Raggoo helped make your experience so memorable.
