Not recommended - Poor organization of the departure plan. First, we are late on the Blue Bay Marine, a glass-bottomed boat, and there were no STOPS in traffic, we didn't stop or wait anywhere, we drove at a very good speed the whole time. You are late and the driver informs you that you have half an hour on board instead of 1 hour. Not enough time to dive. As soon as you entered the water, you would have to get out. So we immediately gave up diving. Then we arrive at the second part of the journey. Visit to the island. We arrive 15 minutes early. So we didn't have to stare at the first place so much that they organized themselves a little better. No one told us that there is no swimming on the island, that it is a forest with lots of stones, lizards, mosquitoes…Therefore, you should not bring sneakers anywhere, nor should you bring anything against mosquitoes, because they bite at the speed of light. After that, a visit to the museum, and then another museum that wasn't even working, the gate was closed. All in all, a very boring trip, and at the same time overpriced, I don't know what we paid the money for. Lunch in the restaurant cost only 20e for two. The food is nice, but the price is miserable compared to what was given to the agency. I do not recommend! Damn goat!

Very disappointing - I cannot recommend this tour. This company gets mixed reviews and I should have listened to the bad ones. Our driver was definitely not a guide. He was a nice enough guy but he spoke very poor English and told us nothing about the places we visited except to read the road signs we could read for ourselves. He had clearly never taken people on the tour before. He was constantly on the phone asking what to do. He took us to the restaurant where we were supposed to have lunch at 3:45pm - we were starving! - only to find the restaurant had closed at 3pm. I don't think this was his fault, I think the bookings for the various activities just didn't fit together. After the snorkelling in the morning there was nowhere to change for the rest of the day except the toilets. My husband said the walls of the mens toilets were covered with excrement. The snorkelling should have been at the end of the day. That said, although the Blue Bay snorkelling was very poor, we really enjoyed the tour and the giant tortoises at the Isle aux Aigrettes, we really enjoyed our very late lunch at a locals' cafe, and we enjoyed Mahebourg museum. Just don't visit with Freshverde!

Missed attractions, poor communication, no refunds - Avoid! Unfortunately, we had a disappointing experience with this tour and would not recommend it. Our driver seemed surprised that snorkeling was part of the itinerary and had to book a boat on the spot in Blue Bay. We were then unable to proceed with the rest of the tour due to heavy rain, causing us to miss out on Ile aux Aigrettes, Mahebour Waterfront, Pointe Canon, and other attractions. Despite requesting a rebooking in accordance with the terms, we received no response for two days. As our time on the island was limited, we requested a partial refund but have yet to receive it, three weeks after the promissed tour. It has been very challenging to get in touch with Ashutosh on WhatsApp, with replies taking 2 or 3 days. We advise going with an alternative tour provider or renting a car instead, since it would be way cheaper anyway.
