Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Mahebourg is one of the oldest towns in Mauritius, dating from the Dutch period and named after the French Governor, Bertrand François Mahé de La Bourdonnais. This tour of the South of the island offers a mix of nature and tradition with a number of historic sights of interest, typical Mauritian cuisine, exotic colours and aromas, the turquoise sea and beautiful scenery. Founded in 1870, the Rault biscuit factory is worth the visit for the history and deliciously unique cassava biscuits fresh out of the oven. Highlights of the day: • Learn about the rich history and nature of the island • Enjoy the rare experience of the craft of cassava biscuit-making • Visit of Ile aux Aigrettes • Visit The Rault biscuit factory • Time at leisure to discover the Mahebourg market • Basketery Artisan Upon Availability.

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.

We got picked up from the hotel, Ashley was there earlier to wait for us. We when in the tour in a nice Nisan Kashkai. He was knowledgeable, but gave us time to enjoy the views as well. Honestly great experience with him basically waiting for us after each stop, providing an umbrella (guess he was more prepared then us) explaining the attractions...etc As a couple that generally when to group tours this was a great experience. Basically everything was taken care of. Nice attractions as well.

Pick up upon our arrival went smoothly. The driver was on time and safe. The return, however, was a different story and not a way we wanted our lovely holiday to end. We requested a pick up that would have us at the airport two hours before our scheduled departure. We received word, after the driver was already 20 minutes late picking us up, that our driver would arrive momentarily, so we waited. And we waited, and we waited some more. Our hotel called the driver and was told he was in an accident and that a new driver would be arriving soon. This wasn't true as the original driver FINALLY showed up one hour and ten minutes late to take us to the airport. Again, our amazing hotel called the airlines and told them we were on our way. The airlines said they'd keep the desk open 15 minutes late for us (and they did). We literally JUST made our flight. It was an anxiety-filled, nerve-wracking and very upsetting one hour ride to the airport. The worst part is that there was no explanation from the driver or from John at Mauritius Booking as to why he was late and why they didn't inform us earlier, so that we could have used the hotel airport service or called a taxi. We paid in advance, but I would have paid another service for peace of mind. I don't like giving such a low rating, but the communication after this debacle was non-existent and frankly very, very disappointing.

We highly recommended Ridwaan for his excellent, punctual and efficient service. We used his services three times. It began with a personal wattsap introduction of himself after booking. Very friendly and courteous welcome. Informative interaction and the best value for budget conscious travelers. Thank you Ridwaan, you are a star.
