    We spent a wonderful week.

    This agency allowed us to see the whole island and to go to Deer Island in one week. Perfect organization both in terms of travel and punctuality, as well as price. Each tour cost even half as much as Eden, and the price-quality ratio is perfect. A special thank you, with all my heart, goes to our guide who spoke Italian, which is rare in Mauritius. RAJEN was perfect both as a driver and as a guide; he accompanied us to get to know Mauritius, even the less touristy parts. Thank you, Rajen, for your work and your company. I highly recommend everyone to ask for him as a guide.

    An agency to know for visiting the island

    We went on several excursions with the agency (across from the Flic en Flac Carrefour), always good advice, clean vehicles, careful driver-guides, and right on time. I highly recommend them, including for their rates.

    Thank you Baboo, for this beautiful day!

    We had a great day and can absolutely recommend the trip. Our driver and guide Baboo picked us up on time at the hotel. It has the perfect balance between information and tranquility - but more... Our route Baboo chose against the usual routine, so we had only a few other tourists at all stops and so had no hectic hustle and bustle - at any of the stops. That was really cool! At the stops Baboo accompanied us a bit, gave us information and took photos of us with our mobile phone. Then he waited at the car and we each had time to look around in peace. This was perfect for us, with other tourists the guides followed their guests permanently, which would have annoyed us rather. We had the perfect mix! The Indian restaurant approached by Baboo was top, the food mega-tasty. Baboo is a confident motorist who drives very safely and considerately. There was never any feeling of time pressure. We would book here again anytime and are very grateful for this beautiful day that Baboo has made possible for us. We booked through Check24 and have not found a better price anywhere... Baboo, thank you very much, we wish you all the best!

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Port Louis.

    How much does Mauritius : Full Day South Tour with guide cost?

    +

    Prices start at $103 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.

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Mauritius : Full Day South Tour with guide?

    +

    Around 2 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.

    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?

    +
