Summary: What a fantastic trip to see parts of Mauritius we would not have seen. Our guide, Raggoo’s knowledge and pride for his island was outstanding. We learnt a lot of its history. Would highly recommend.

Summary: Hi there! I wanted to provide some feedback from a Mautourco tour myself and a friend had this summer. On 15th May 2025, myself and a friend had the pleasure of exploring south Mauritius as part of the Mautourco excursion. We wanted to contact you directly to express our gratitude and positive review of our tour guide Vikash. As part of our tour we got to see the black river gorges, temples, enjoy lunch in Chamarel, the seven coloured earth park and rum tasting. Having our own private car added an element of luxury and privacy to the experience. Vikash is a true credit and asset to your company- he was so friendly, professional, knowledgable and passionate about Mauritius. We learnt so much from Vikash, he was kind and attentive to all our needs. This tour was the highlight of our holiday- and Vikash has ensured we will be returning to Mauritius and taking part in more Mautourco excursions. We hope to meet Vikash again and look forward to returning to this beautiful country. Thank you again for such exceptional service- we would recommend this tour and Vikash as our guide to anyone travelling to Mauritius. Warmest regards, Marianna and Francesca!

Summary: We had several day tours with Mautourco during our stay in Mauritius in late April 2025. It was a fantastic experience. Our driver and guide Sanjiva was amazing, very punctual, thoughtful, knowledgeable and prepared to adjust the itinerary to show us new places as we had some overlaps in scheduling for different tours. We had a lovely time and have seen most of the highlights of this beautiful island. Many thanks to Sanjiva and our hotel representative Audrey for such a wonderful experience.
