Super guide
Vishal was and is a great driver/guide. He shows more than is on the program, explains things well, and speaks very good German. We were very satisfied and are happy to recommend him to others.
Response from the operator: Thank you for booking with us.

Wow
Saw so many different things in one day! Fantastic value for money, the driver could speak English really well and knew a lot about the various places. He kindly drove from one side of the island to the other to the other to take my to another accomodation place. Its a full day but means you can stay as little or as long as you want in the various places which meant it was quite relaxing really as well as informative. Do not go to Mauritius without taking this tour!

I’ll always remember it
We chose MUTT Mauritius Travel Tours mostly because their prices were the best, but honestly we couldn’t get better service, from no-hassle booking procedure to its execution. The driver was extra careful, and we went smoothly from one point to another. The information about the places and sights was provided but nobody pushed or rushed us... we could spend time taking photos or exploring the sights, or just take off if the particular point was of no interest to us. I love the laid back and casual approach, that’s exactly what we were looking for. However, if asked, the guide provided all the info and background. We were a bit picky about choosing the lunch spot - mind you, get prepared for rather steep prices in and around Chamarel for a more or less regular fare - but the driver was infinitely patient, took us to three different restaurants only to return to the first one upon our request, without a single word or grumble. We also used them for the airport transfer, which in our case was at 5am - excellent price and once again, impeccable service. We got the reminder the night before and a smooth and secure transfer.

Good Value but a few disappointments
The tourist destinations on this tour were excellent and the comfortable minibus arrived on schedule. The tour took nearly 8 hours including the lunch stop. We first stopped at a souvenir shop and then a so-called Diamond Factory, neither of which were on the published itinerary and just wasted time. Our first listed stop was Le Port Model Ship museum, but the display area was roped off and essentially, it was just another tourist shop. The next stop was supposed to be a shop for Pasmenas (again not on the itinerary), but we insisted that we had no interest in more tourist shopping sites and avoided going there. There were then a series of good viewpoints in and around the Black River National Park including the Trou Aux Cerfs extinct volcano, Grand Bassin - a place scared to the Hindu religion and Chamarel 7 Colour Earth for which there is an entry fee of 225 Rupees per adult, where cash only in local currency is accepted. A disappointment was that our driver/guide had a poor command of English, thus getting answers to questions was difficult and we were just dropped off at locations to find our own way. Overall, we got out of the tour what we wanted, but the shopping destinations were an unnecessary waste of our time and a better English-speaking driver/guide would have helped. The tour was good value, but would recommend you agree with the driver which, if any, of the tourist shops you wish to visit.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Mauritius South Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Trou d'Eau Douce.
How much does Private Mauritius South Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Trou d'Eau Douce usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Mauritius South Day Tour 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 Trou d'Eau Douce is not rushed.
Is Private Mauritius South Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Trou d'Eau Douce, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Mauritius South Day Tour?
+
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 Private Mauritius South Day Tour 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 Private Mauritius South Day Tour?
+
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 Trou d'Eau Douce 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 Trou d'Eau Douce and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Mauritius South Day Tour 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 Trou d'Eau Douce 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 Trou d'Eau Douce?
+
On Outty we rank every Trou d'Eau Douce experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mauritius full day : Private north tour, Ile Aux Cerfs full day shared catamaran with BBQ lunch & drinks, Southern Tales Tour: Crocodile Park, 23-Colored Earth & Lunch. 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 Trou d'Eau Douce?
+
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 Trou d'Eau Douce?
+
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 Private Mauritius South Day Tour?
+

Does Private Mauritius South Day Tour include hotel pickup?
+

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Mauritius South Day Tour?
+
