This company were organised the transfers on arrival to Mauritius to our hotel resort. It was the most uncomfortable and sub standard transfer we have ever experienced. After a twelve hour flight from the UK we were packed to capacity in a small, old vehicle with no proper air conditioning, small uncomfortable seats and luggage separated only by an old net at the rear of the vehicle. We were then subjected to 45 plus minutes of poor driving in the most uncomfortable vehicle which in the UK would have been compared only to a builder's van. We complained to the rep on arrival at the resort and said we would not be prepared to make the return journey in the same circumstances. When I asked about an upgrade to private transfer I was given a price of 2,000 rupees, this was the same price as the taxi from the hotel. This was not an acceptable price given that we had already paid for a transfer and as we were not able to negotiate anything else with Mautorco, we booked a taxi. Extremely poor service and for that reason we did not even look at trips with this company. Certainly would not recommend.

I would have given this a 5 star rating just for the trip experience, but I unfortunately experienced sexist and rude comments from the staff there. Maybe it was because I am a mauritian and not a foreigner. According to the quad biking staff, women do not know how to drive. "Si ena ene ti garson devant ou, ou koner ou krk, mais si ena ene tifi devant, li kav zis arete ene kout ek lerla ou kav taper, paski banla pa koner zot" - these are the words of one particular staff. Instructions are also rushed, and if you missed something, they tell you that you were not listening. It's such a great activity, so it's a shame that some of us had to face these comments.

We had a 3 day stopover in Mauritius on our way to South Africa. We were welcomed by the chaffeur on our arrival at the airport after our long journey from Sydney. We had booked the shandrani hotel which was a 10 minute drive from the airport. We also booked the services of maurigold tours for the reverse airport transfer. Fantastic and reliable service. We would use them again.

From the punctual pick up to the smart clean and comfortable car it promised to be a good day and didn’t disappoint. Our guide was excellent - engaging and informative. Having someone who can describe the different plants and flowers and palms brings the botanical gardens to life. And then having a guide to take you through the markets of Port Louis cuts out a whole lot of random wandering about. Our guide was very knowledgable, kind and flexible. We really felt like we had got to know Mauritius and it’s people by the end of the tour. A great day out.

I was with family. It was fun with stuff for everyone of any age. It a one off thing to do once in a lifetime as a mauritian. But I will not go back again. We missed some of the attractions as there was Noone to help. Then in the end we found a man called Sandy . He helped us with a few attractions which made it a lot more enjoyable. So of you are going look for. Sandy. Thanks.
