Wonderful day in the South - A suspended moment in the South, departure from Le Morne, direction Grand Bassin, not too many people and a moment of emotion, Plantation Bois Chéri where the arrival was extraordinary, visit to the factory, tea tasting, the gorges and finally Chamarel . We were welcomed by our driver guide Eddy, very attentive and delicate, deeply human who allowed us to make this day unforgettable. Do not hesitate, we highly recommend it. It must be said that all the drivers we had for the transfers were perfect.
Bravo to Mautourco for his recruitment.

Excellent private tour with Raggoo from Sugar Beach Hotel. Lovely vehicle, electric. Rangoon is a fountain of knowledge. - Expertly narrated by our driver Raggoo. Helped my husband who has mobility issues and was so considerate of this, helping all he could.
Great tour. Highlight was lunch on the peak and rum distillery. Despite temple site being flooded post cyclone, Raggoo got us a great view and explained all about the different gods. A lovely man who made our trip memorable

Everything clapped - Mautourco is our travel agency's partner and everything has worked well: reception at the airport, transfers, meeting with a representative at our hotel and reception at the airport on departure.
We booked two tours:
The Wild South, where Raggoo was our really good guide. He spoke enthusiastically about the history of Mauritius and local conditions and answered all our questions. He was also very attentive to our wishes. Thanks to him!
Also a boat trip through the mangrove with snorkelling, which was carried out by another company. A very mixed experience - snorkelling canceled due to visibility (not their fault) and sails didn't work, so the whole trip by motor. When they told the crew that the guests were not at the "party", they seemed pugs for the rest of the trip. The island we were left on for two hours was overflowing with debris and the only place we could really be was in the water. Beautiful trip and nice lunch.
Tours and transfers in good cars. One electric and one had WIFI

High quality tour operator - Very interesting tour to explore the nature and beauties of the center and the south, even if I had done the same tour other times, I saw and learned many other things, also thanks to our driver and guide Dev whom I thank very much, a great man who speaks very well Italian, he explained and narrated episodes of the island's history to us and also made us laugh with his humor. Thanks also to Chandra, Alpitour interface at the agency

Mautourco the best - If you want to go to Mauritius, rely on the Mautourco company.
My wife and I just returned from Mauritius, and Mautourco was exceptional, serious professionals, punctual and reliable. In particular we want to thank Lindsay and Sajan who made our trip a unique experience.

Disappointing - We had booked 2 tours through the local tour guide, the first was to go to the "Wild South" on January 2nd, 2024. We were told that we would be picked up at the hotel at 8 a.m. So we waited in the foyer with the 3 other participants from 8 a.m. Unfortunately, we were neither picked up nor were we given a message. We tried several times in vain to contact the Mautourco agency by phone, including via WhatsApp. At 9:30 a.m., a full 1.5 hours later, our hotel reception finally managed to get through to someone from the agency. We found out that the tour had been cancelled, apparently because the driver was ill. We then took this exact tour privately with a taxi driver, who was very nice and professional, it cost a quarter of the price and we had a lovely and eventful day.
