We had a wonderful time on this tour. Avi contacted me soon after I booked to introduce himself and confirm the pickup time and place. He contacted me again a couple of days before the tour to let me know that one of the waterfalls on the tour was dry and to give me several options of other places to visit. I appreciated the advance notice so we could pick which of the options we were most interested in. Avi was friendly and knowledgeable and he took great photos - he is an excellent guide! We loved the beautiful sites and hearing the history of Mauritius. Since we are vegetarians Avi suggested a good local restaurant with delicious roti and dholl puri. When we arrived the line was out the door, but Avi has an “in” with the owners so we were able to skip the line and even peek into the kitchen to see everything being made by hand. It was delicious! We had a great day; I highly recommend Avi and this tour.

This was a fantastic tour of the south of the island. We wanted authentic Mauritius and we got it in abundance. Avi picked us up and took us to Curepipe for breakfast. We sat inside this family run snack bar and enjoyed mouth watering roti and Dholl puri washed down with homemade alouda everything was made by the family and we were shown how they did it. We then went to see the dormant volcano and onto the ship factory via a duty free shopping mall selling absolutely everything. We then drove off road through sugar canes to see an old sugar cane chimney and Avi explained how it would have worked when it was functioning. We stopped at a natural bridge at Ponte Naturel. On to a Tamil Temple nestling amongst the sugar cane field. We walk over an old railway bridge with the highest drop in Mauritius and then on to the beautiful beach of Gris Gris and it’s wild coast. Stopping for lunch at a family run curry and noodle bar we then went off road winding through farmland to the magnificent Rocester Falls. We climbed down a small path and swam in the bottom of the falls with many locals. Avi then drove us along one of the most scenic roads in Mauritius following the south coast to arrive at the stunningly beautiful La Prairie beach. On our way back home we stopped at two view points showing all of the south coast. Avi is a wonderful host and his knowledge of old and new Mauritius is exceptional.

Avi was the best host, he was friendly, knowledgeable and went beyond our expectations. The name of the tour is perfect, we experienced fantastic places off the beaten track were it only seemed locals went too. Avi being local was able to introduce us too locals everywhere we went which made the experience more authentic and special. Our girls are 13 and 14 and he involved them throughout

Hidden treasures for sure. What this tour does not say is that you also get hidden tastes of Mauritius. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We got to see beaches, waterfalls, nature trails, fed the giant tortoises, visit the cashmere factory and walk along the tallest bridge to name a few. You will not regret doing this one. The temple visit was one of my favorite sites and all this was done on a Sunday. Amazing!!!!

Off reloading to waterfalls and vistas not on a gps, traveling through the “roads” inside sugar cane fields. Our lovely guides also accommodated our request of visiting a local food market for spices. And eating some delicious street food. Lovely day. Thank you!
