Things to do in Mauritius, Mauritius: The Best City Tours

July 23, 2021 Kiesha Cripe

Mauritius is arguably Africa’s wealthiest destination, a tropical paradise with tons to do. Port Louis, the modern capital of this 38-mile by 29-mile island, is a bustling port with a revitalized waterfront and a busy market. But most visitors gravitate toward resort areas such as Mont Choisy, quiet Trou-aux-Biches and the more bustling Flic en Flac, popular with scuba divers. Rivière Noire is ideal for those looking for great deep-sea fishing.

Chucky will give you a really good guided tour of the Island. He knows where and when to go and has very good knowledge about a lot of nice places you would not find if you go on your own. Excellent guide and excellent service. Good value for money.

As Mauritius lovers, regularly visiting the Island, we opted to experience something very different this time. We experienced some of the facets of this Package with a stay in the Kaz‘trla in the Domaine Bel Ombre. It was a great experience. We had the opportunity to visit this Domain with its Château and picturesque and romantic scenery...beautiful moment. It was an opportunity for us to enjoy local food, lovely. The gâteau Piments and ti-pouri during our safari drive were a delight. My husband booked also a Golf lesson at the Heritage. We also enjoyed our overnight stay at the Chazal camping tent and gave some fun with its zipline. It was really a very special time for us. We will of course rebook such a Package which we strongly recommend. Many thanks for these wonderful moment.

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.

Reviewed By Heather S

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.

10. *All Inclusive | Mauritius City Tour with Private Chauffeur Guide

Unwind Mauritius

If you would like to know more about the local culture, Port Louis is the place to be. Start your morning by capturing the lively spirit at the central market of Port-Louis. Meet with the locals, discover the Mauritian culture and feast on some of the best street foods that boast an influence of traditional flavors. Founded in 1735 during the French colonial period, the city’s foundation was laid and pioneered by then Governor Bertrand Francois Mahé de La Boourdonnais, giving the island its focal point for immigration and commerce. Today, the bustling city retains most if not all of its historic roots and continues to be the hub of government and business.
