A great guide can make the difference
We loved our tour guide, Coco & his knowledge of Mauritius history. It was all so fascinating. There was a lot of driving because we were so far south so was necessary to reach the destinations on the tour. The lunch was really nice & the location very pretty. Thank you to Coco for his amazing commentary. You have a beautiful island.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind review and for choosing to book your experience with Coquille Bonheur. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour and that Coco made your day memorable with his knowledge, passion, and interesting stories about Mauritius’ history. We will be sure to share your lovely compliments with him. We appreciate your feedback regarding the driving time. Indeed, some of our southern excursions involve longer journeys, but they allow our guests to discover some of the most beautiful and authentic parts of the island. We are pleased that you enjoyed the lunch, the beautiful surroundings, and the overall experience. Thank you once again for your trust, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again to discover more of the wonders of Mauritius. The Coquille Bonheur Team

Amazing, compact tour of the North of Mauritius
Me and my husband had a fantastic tour of the North of Mauritius with our tour guide VJ. He answered every question we had, tailored the tour to include more time in exploring Port Louis, navigating us around the markets and helping us find good vendors and prices. The lunch was fantastic, 3 courses of authentic Mauritian cuisine topped with a rum juice! Thank you to VJ for making our tour personalised and special, and catering to our needs.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day North Private Guided Tour Mauritius: including lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Port Louis.
How much does Full Day North Private Guided Tour Mauritius: including lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $125 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Port Louis usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day North Private Guided Tour Mauritius: including lunch take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Port Louis is not rushed.
Is Full Day North Private Guided Tour Mauritius: including lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Port Louis, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day North Private Guided Tour Mauritius: including lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day North Private Guided Tour Mauritius: including lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day North Private Guided Tour Mauritius: including lunch?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Port Louis can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Port Louis and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day North Private Guided Tour Mauritius: including lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Port Louis within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Port Louis?
+
On Outty we rank every Port Louis experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mesmerizing south west guided tour of mauritius. (Vallé optional), Private taxi : North guided tour of mauritius., Port-Louis Street Food Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Port Louis?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Port Louis?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
