A wonderful day with Hans in Port Louis. Hans follows the wishes of the travellers. Very competent and friendly.
Unfortunately our experience wasn’t as good as other reviewers’. Our guide was lovely, very helpful and pleasant, but this was his first guided tour in the capital. We only got to taste a milky drink (which was delicious) and a one course lunch in a local cafe where we were offered only two choices, certainly not a “diverse menu option” (but again, delicious). There were no street food tastings at the local bazaar and overall it wasn’t a “culturally immersive experience for food lovers” as advertised. The stamp museum was interesting as was the Aapravasi Ghat museum. Seeing the city sprawled out below from the fort is a sight to see. This tour unfortunately did not live up to our expections of a “food lovers tour”, the main reason for booking it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, and we truly appreciate your honest insights. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the guide’s company and the sights, such as the stamp museum, Aapravasi Ghat, and the view from the fort. We apologize that your tour did not meet your expectations, especially in terms of the food experience. Our goal is always to provide a diverse and culturally immersive food experience, and it’s disappointing to hear that we fell short in this instance. We're currently reviewing our offerings to ensure they align more closely with what our guests expect from a "food lovers" tour. Thank you again for your valuable comments—we’re committed to improving and hope to welcome you back soon to show you the best that our culinary and cultural heritage has to offer. Best regards Hans
Ravi was awesome and punctual. Dalpuri was very good. If you love chilli go for spicy. Restaurant was typical mauritian place with phoenix beer. I recommend from turkiey
Once again thanks for trusting us with another booking. Sorry for late reply ,been busy for new year. Let us know when you will be back on the island for another tailor made package. Best regards Hans
What can I say except book this tour and request Afjal Codabaccus to take you. We experienced so much in a few hours that we would never have known how to find on our own and to experience everything through the eyes and expertise that f s local officials as just magical. Afjal is passionate about his country and was keen to show and tell us as much as he could fit into the 7 hours we spent with him. He explained the agriculture, history and politics whilst we drove through spectacular scenery, stopping for us to take photographs en route. Experiencing the meat, fish and vegetable markets was so interesting and like stepping back in time, especially contrasted with the modernity and opulence of the mall in the harbour. Our trip included chana puri and lemon juice (or a milkshake) in the market, entry to a fort, two museums including the Blue Penny and lunch at a family run traditional cafe where we were served “magic bowls “ (chicken or lamb with prawns, vegetables & rice accompanied by chilli or garlic sauce). It was a magical day and I’d heartily recommend this to anyone wishing to discover some local culture.
Greetings from Beguided Tours. Thank you for the support and your kind words has been forwarded to Mr Afzal and he tole me he is going to send his mUCH APPRECIATED THANKS personally to you. Once again thanks for the trust and support. best regards Hans
The whole tour was so interesting and diverse. Our driver Kiaran was the best and so entertaining. The place we went for lunch was probably one of the best meals we had over the whole holiday. All 4 of us enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend
Greetings from beguided Tours. Thank you for trusting us with your holidays. Indeed Kiran is one of our best supporting guide we have in the company since now 4 years. Once again trust for the support, this means a lot for us. Best regards Hans
Very nice tour with a motivated and engaged guide! We got to see the highlights of Port Louis, but also some less obvious places around the city centre. Saw some areas we wouldn't have ventured in on our own. Hans, our guide was welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. He arrived on time and spoke excellent English. Communication about tour logistics was great by both the agency and then by Hans effortlessly over WhatsApp. The food choices were all tasty but in the end even a bit too much to finish 😁 Would book again with Hans and Beguided Tours in a heartbeat!
Greetings from Beguided tours. Its always nice to hear kind words from our guests. Thanks for the support and hope to see you back on the island once again in the near future.
I would ask people with digestive problems not to eat just anything.food was very tasty but was 2 days in toilet. Dalpuri Is good without chilli. Alouda was sugary but very tasty . In the end it's good but just not for stomach upset kind of people . Love from me and sarah. Thanks for those amazing tours.
Greetings, i am glad you enjoyed your city experience with us. I am very sorry for your stomach but it really depends on the person. On our side we must say that Mauritian food is always to be praised. Thanks a lot for the support.
Mauritius is very expensive so I reccomend you book this so that you get all details and food information. Taxi will rip you guys off. This company is good. Thanks to all
Greetings, unfortunately i cannot really judge or comment on other people's wage or price as in Mauritius,its true we do not have a fixed price for taxis, however i am very glad that you enjoyed your trip with us and you recommended us as a company with good details and information
Its was a surprise that for this price me and my husband got a private car with a guide named Tipti. The food was good although we did got an upset stomach that same evening but its on us as we ate a lot spicy dalpuris and oily cakes. Overall it was a good day for us.
GREETINGS Miss sono it was a great pleasure for us to you so happy with our service. Thank you for the trust and hope to see again .
We had an excellent full days trip. I can not remember the name of our driver but he was lovely, very knowledgeable and he made us very comfortable and welcome. We enjoyed the tea factory and local markets the most. If we had gone on our own we never would’ve ventured to the places he took us or tried the street food. It was such a great experience.
Greetings to you , we are very happy you enjoyed your tour with us . Mr viraj told us about you and your dogs back in you country and we are very pleased to know that you are in touch with us at Be-guided tours . Thank you for your corperation and hope to see you soon on the island
