Port Louis and Pamplemousses Garden - A full day trip

Goid trip made great by Veet

Good tour , made great by our guide/driver veet , who was very new to role but took us to extra sites . Poor fella had an accident , which was not his fault , on way back , which meant we didn’t get back until much later than planned . Just hope he gets it all sorted

Reserve more time for the botanical Garden

The Botanical Garden was a super experience, highly recommended to stay 2 hours at least. Unfortunately Fort Adelaide was closed due to a public holiday as well es the Blue Penny Museum. Our Guide, Hansley brought us to a tea museum which was not on the program and was really interesting.

Tour of the North

Driver was on time and very friend. Car was clean inside and out. The driver was very knowledgeable about his local area and the country he lives in.

Interesting town

This tour was OK. I would have liked a slower walk-through umbrella sq and Port Louis so I could take pictures. Markets were interesting. Recommend paying the extra to have a tour guide in the botanical gardens. Lunch was ok. 'Pin Location' means 'address' not that the tour guide used it.

Day filled with shopping

Kunal looked after us very well! We had a great time, thank you for a unforgettable day! Lunch was out of this world as well!

Amazing trip!

Fantastic day sightseeing, our driver and guide, Vinoo, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He went above and beyond to ensure that we got the most out of the day and couldn’t recommend him highly enough! He showed us around the capital, and allowed us time to do some shopping in the local and craft markets. The views from Fort Adelaide were breathtaking across the capital towards the Indian Ocean. The Botanical Gardens were very pretty with the added bonus of giant tortoises. We also had the lunch option which was delicious.

Botanical Gardens at Pamplemousses Mauritiius

We didn't do this full day tour but we went to the Botanical Gardens at Pamplemousses on our own. Very disappointing I'm afraid. A general down at heel feel to the place. Plants and trees either not labelled or inadequately. The fine colonial house is closed and there are no proper facilities for visitors. Even the tortoises look depressed and kept in poor conditions compared to the La Vanille reserve in the south of the island.

Excellent Trip!

Nawfal was an excellent and helpful guide and we really enjoyed the excursion, would highly recommend!

A short informative tour to see a small part of the island

A morning to see a small part of the island . The Botanical gardens were good to see and worth getting a guide otherwise you would miss too much . We then went onto visit the Port Louis - the fort , local market and waterfront . Our guide was informative and friendly .

A short worthwhile trip

A great trip to see part of the island , the botanical gardens are worth visiting and a walk round the city to markets and the waterfront was interesting . Our guide ( Azzim )gave us lots of information on the history of the island - a friendly person .

Family of 6

This tour turned out to be more of a glorified taxi ride for our family. The guide had a muffled voice which made it hard to understand his English. We were driven to the expected places on the itinerary without much explanation. Not once did the guide leave his vehicle - even at the Fort to point out interesting buildings or features of the surrounding landscapes. We noticed other driver/guides walking to the top of the Fort and informing their clients of the historical facts and buildings of the surrounding landscapes. We had none of this! We also had to pay extra for an additional guide in the botanical gardens, which though beautiful was rather poorly unkept.Sad to see. At the Waterfront, the driver and supposedly guide, sat in his vehicle in the car park and told us to meet him 90 minutes later. We had to tour the area by ourselves! There was no explanation or information of the interesting buildings and surrounding markets. No guide even though we had paid for this service! To top it all, only one litre of water was supplied for a family of 6 on a hot humid day?!! Wisely we had enough of our own supply for the 5 hours. Rather dissatisfied with the amount of money spent on a disappointing Sega Tour. Would like a partial refund in all fairness.

Cultural

Botanical Garden so lush green and good walk arround ,stopping before going to port in Fort was a good view of port Louis the market was good place to shop the local goods and taste the Mauristian food

Nice

Nice , we took guide with us it was very informative and easier Take snacks with you and water as no shops or food trucks inside

…

Nicht annähernd so spektakulär wie es in der Beschreibung wirkt! Essen konnte im Vorfeld zwar ausgewählt werden wurde jedoch nicht berücksichtigt. Zu teuer für das, was man erhält!!!
