Excellent, informative day - Our driver/guide Burbur was excellent. He arranged the stops so that we wouldn't be out in the sun at the hottest part of the day. He knows the history of his island very well and was able to answer all our questions. He did everything he could to ensure our comfort and optimize the opportunities for sightseeing on that part of the island.

Excellent day tour of the north island with Nishal! - Our tour guide Nishal was fantastic! He was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble! He showed us around the north side of the island and was very knowledgeable and fitted in with our requirements! We highly recommend Nishal, the north island tour and the company Turquoise Voyages.

A great way to see Mauritius - Robin our driver was just incredible nothing was too much nothing was too little, everything robin suggested was an amazing thing to see and do. we felt at no point that he was trying to push anything on us, we felt at no point he was trying to sell us anything, what we did find was everything was interesting fun and extremely good value for money. it was so good in fact we booked another trip for tomorrow which is something we're looking forward to and that will be in the south of the island. the north of the island we found really interesting and other viewpoints were really worth seeing. I would highly recommend this company I would highly recommend robin to be your driver

A perfect tour of the North of Mauritius - A really well put together private tour of the North, our driver Raj got the balance just right of sharing information and accompanying us to the spots that we stopped at, while still giving us time and space to explore on our own before we met him back at the car.
We learned so much about the history, landscape and present day of the island and Raj was happy to answer all of our questions and make suggestions for additional stops, lunch etc. I would really recommend this tour to anyone staying in the North of the island.

Relaxed tour of the north of Mauritius - A great day out which was not too hectic or stressful as we were able to spend as long or short a time as we wanted to. Lots of shops at the Waterfront were closed as it was a Sunday so probably better to do the tour on other days. However we enjoyed the shopping experience. The fort was also closed but a great location to take photos from at the top of a hill. Enjoyed the walk at the botanical gardens a lot, and recommend the guides.

Good tour, great value, long day - We had a lovely day doing the North Tour and our driver was very patient. We visited Port Louis and the craft market (this was very expensive) and then went to visit the traditional market which has produce and items to sell. The stall owners were pushy but if you said no they didn't persist. We then went to the citadel with views of Port Louis on to the botanical gardens of pamplemouse where we wished we had paid for a guide. Then a stop for lunch at a lovely restaurant, the hostess was great and then a very quick trip to Grand Baie. It was a long drive back to our hotel in Flic en Flac.

Interesting but not as much to see as in the south west tours. - Very good tour guide and driver who was friendly and knowledgable. Highlights were the museum in Port Louis and Grand Baie in the north of the island.
