Fabulous day out! - Had an amazing day out with friends. Our tour guide Auggi was just fantastic 👌 very knowledgeable! Definitely recommended.

Excursions at the top - Excursion to the top , Nishal was great , he knows the island by heart . We made several excursions with and each time it was exceptional. Thank you for everything.

Nice exploration of the south-western part - Very good tour with a caring guide/driver. The driver gave good explanations and did his best to manage through the obstacles on the road (some road construction on the way).

Great tour guide, good stuff - We really enjoyed our tour. Nishan, our driver was very friendly and patient. He told us a lot about the sights, and and even showed us the best areas to take photos. We would really recommend him!!

To do with your eyes closed with Baboo - Great tour and great day experience with Baboo the best guide in Mauritius Everything is there: explanations on the history of Mauritius, visits to the places, best photo spots, advice and tips on the best places to visit We spent the day as friends, and it was an unforgettable experience

Highly recommend. - Robin went above and behind to make our experience in Mauritius special. He was prompt picking us up and made sure we were back on the ship in plenty of time. The vehicle was clean, air-conditioned and perfect for our group. We got to all the places mentioned and more and we're able to experience the cultural aspects including lunch at a lovely restaurant. Robin shared his great knowledge and history of Mauritius and had a map to keep us informed of where we were. Robin spoke 4 languages and his English was good. The price for our tour was quoted for the whole group of 4 and not per person...and was very reasonable. Would highly recommend. We all had a wonderful day.

Knowledgeable, friendly and (rightfully) proud guide - Excellent day trip. Really got around the island and the insights only a local can give. Raj was friendly and knowledgeable and showed real pride in his country and culture. I absolutely recommend this tour as a fantastic way to experience some unique features of this incredible country!

Excellent day out - We were picked up promptly by Raj, and driven safely to the south part of the island to see all the various sites mentioned within the tour description. Raj was easy to get on with and spent a lot of time answering our various questions. Price of the tour was good.

A great experience - We had a very nice driver who was happy to answer all our questions and also took our interests into account. With him we were able to visit many spots that are usually part of long tours and we were able to decide on the spot how long we wanted to stay where. Super great

What a day! - OMG!!! What a great day! The weather was sunny and warm and our sweet Baboo (driver) was informative and warm, too. We booked this as a private tour from our ship a couple days before we arrived. Received an instant reply from Sam Tours and booking/payment was fast and easy. We started the day by driving south about an hour to start in the Black River Gorge. Baboo suggested this mainly because the ship’s bus tours would start closer to the port and we wanted to avoid the crowds. We worked our way through the sites always about a half hour before any busses. Brilliant! We stopped at the Hindu temple during preparations for one of the high holy days (Maha Shivratri). Being from an Hindu family, Baboo was able to explain the customs and background of the fete and how far pilgrims walk to attend the events. We stopped at a neighborhood (non-touristy) restaurant for lunch at the Ebony Table D’Hote for authentic local food served on a banana leaf. Outstanding! Our final stop was also outside the normal tourist area for ‘made in Mauritius’ handicrafts and souvenirs that were not sourced from China. We had the day we envisioned - local sites with commentary; local, authentic food; and, uncrowded places to explore a part of this wonderful island country. When we return to Mauritius (and we will!), we will contact this company again!
