Interesting - Small group. Our guide always gave us the explanations in French as soon as he finished them in English. Thank you.

Great food tour! - We tried loads of proper local food, dholl puri, dumplings, chilli cakes, and alouda. All absolutely delicious and stuff I’d never have found on my own. The guide was brilliant, really friendly and full of interesting bits about the island’s history and how all the different cultures, Indian, Chinese, African, French have shaped the food. It felt really authentic, not touristy at all, and was a great way to explore the city while actually learning something. Would 100% recommend.

Brilliant tour guide - We had the chance to discover a side of the city that we would’ve ignored otherwise. The food was tasty (no stomach problems) and the guide very knowledgeable and helpful. I totally recommend.

Lovely tour just a bit long - Really enjoyed our food tour. Food us lovely, friendly tour guide and got to see areas of Port Louis. Our only downside is it went on too long. 4 hours, it's a long time in a hot city centre with no real break or toilet break. After 3 hours I was ready to finish. So after 4 hours I was almost panicked to leave and get back to the hotel pool. I'd say just stick to the 3 hours advertised, miss out the museum part, didn't feel that relevant to a food tour.

Don’t turn up on an empty stomach - As a couple, we enjoyed our food tour and felt our guide was knowledgeable about St Louis and informative. On reflection, we both felt there was barely any opportunity to take photos before rushing off to the next stop. We didn’t feel the amount of food per person was adequate so therefore not quite worth the value. We’ve done several great food tours in the past through trip advisor and compared to those, we finished this one hungry for more.
