A superb day!
A superb day spent with our guide Emmanuel who shared with us many elements of this superb island, as much on its history and its inhabitants as on its economy and its places. A rich and exciting day of discovery. A big thank you to him!
Response from the operator: Nous vous remercions sincèrement d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience. Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous avez passé une excellente journée en compagnie d'Emmanuel. Votre appréciation de ses connaissances, de son professionnalisme et de sa passion pour l'île Maurice nous fait très plaisir. Nous ne manquerons pas de lui transmettre vos chaleureux compliments, qui seront, sans aucun doute, une belle source de motivation. Nous vous remercions de votre confiance et espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau très prochainement pour de nouvelles découvertes. Bien cordialement, L'équipe Mautourco

Not worth it! Price performance not right!
The pickup was already memorable as the driver was a bit behind schedule he drove very fast, then we came to the other participants of the tour, we were 14 people in total. The tour guide took the lead in German, but keep clapping spells like a bad comedian all the time. For the transfer to the ile aux Aigrettes we had to wait about 40 minutes in the blazing sun, as there was only 1 boat and this was permanently on the back and forth. The tour guide complained that tour operators only sell tours and do not take such situations into account. That was just the beginning, on the island which is breathtaking and beautiful, the guide gave his botanical knowledge to the best, nice and good but just away Too much info and for that we only saw a fraction of the island which was a great pity! This has gone on like this; our conclusion, it is a really interesting and worthwhile tour but not so, completely overpriced and poorly organized for the money you get a private tour which is individually addressed to the guests!
Response from the operator: Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and the inconvenience caused during your tour. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we take your comments very seriously. We would like to look into this matter further with our team and the supplier to ensure improvements are made. May we kindly ask you to contact us directly on ccare@mautourco.com with your booking details (name, date of the tour, and booking reference)? This will allow us to investigate properly and revert to you with a clear update. We remain at your disposal and thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Kind regards, Diane

An exceptional support to discover Mauritius
We were taken care of by Pearl upon arrival at the Shandrani Hotel, and we would like to thank her warmly for her valuable help in organizing our stay. She guided us with great professionalism to plan the excursions we wanted to make, while optimizing our program to make the most of our week in Mauritius. After booking our first excursions, Pearl knew, with great flexibility, to offer us in addition a half-day visit in the north of the island. This tour included Port Louis, the Jardin de Pamplemousses and Cap Malheureux, accompanied by an exceptional private guide, passionate and very clear in his explanations of each site and the history of the island. This quality of accompaniment perfectly reflects the level of all the guides we met during the various Mautourco excursions. Many thanks to Pearl for its listening, advice and availability, and to the Mautourco teams for their professionalism and Service. Thanks to them, we had a truly memorable experience in Mauritius.
Response from the operator: Chers Clients, Un grand merci pour votre magnifique retour ! Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que votre séjour à l’île Maurice, ainsi que vos excursions organisées par Mautourco, vous ont apporté entière satisfaction. Nous transmettrons avec grand plaisir vos compliments à Pearl ainsi qu’à nos guides, qui seront très touchés de savoir que leur professionnalisme, leur écoute et leur passion ont contribué à rendre votre expérience inoubliable. Votre reconnaissance est la plus belle récompense pour nos équipes, qui ont à cœur d’offrir à chaque visiteur un service personnalisé et authentique. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour de nouvelles découvertes sous le soleil mauricien. Bien cordialement, L'équipe de Mautourco

We wanted to thank Magaly for the perfect organization of our excursions on the occasion of our wedding anniversary in Mauritius. Everything was wonderfully well thought out, and those moments will live on in our memories. A special thank you to our guide Ragoo, whose empathy, kindness, deep love for his island and great professionalism made each moment even more precious. Thanks to him, we discovered Mauritius from an authentic and warm angle. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this beautiful experience Béatrice & Pascal

C’est un véritable plaisir de lire combien votre anniversaire de mariage à l’île Maurice a été une expérience mémorable.

Ile aux Aigrettes - Tea Route - Gris Gris Private Guided Tour (Min. 2 persons): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Port Louis.
How much does Ile aux Aigrettes - Tea Route - Gris Gris Private Guided Tour (Min. 2 persons) cost?
+
Prices start at $191 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 Ile aux Aigrettes - Tea Route - Gris Gris Private Guided Tour (Min. 2 persons) take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Ile aux Aigrettes - Tea Route - Gris Gris Private Guided Tour (Min. 2 persons) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 9 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 Ile aux Aigrettes - Tea Route - Gris Gris Private Guided Tour (Min. 2 persons)?
+
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 Ile aux Aigrettes - Tea Route - Gris Gris Private Guided Tour (Min. 2 persons) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ile aux Aigrettes - Tea Route - Gris Gris Private Guided Tour (Min. 2 persons)?
+
Around 3 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ile aux Aigrettes - Tea Route - Gris Gris Private Guided Tour (Min. 2 persons) 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.
What is included in Ile aux Aigrettes - Tea Route - Gris Gris Private Guided Tour (Min. 2 persons)?
+
