Spend two hours walking from Caudan Waterfront into Port Louis with a small group of up to 10. Guides such as Christophe, Christopher, and Sailen connect about eight food tastings to Mauritius’s Indian, Chinese, African, and Gujarati roots. Expect market stops, Chinatown, local-only food spots, plenty to eat, and a city walk in English or French.
“The tour was fun and Christopher is a knowledgable, authentic and very nice guide. It was a mix of „I wouldn‘t dare to try this if I was alone“ and well known food but „the best in place“. The portions were regular size and I couldn‘t finish all of it, but I took my leftovers with me for dinner - so very good value for money. We walked a lot and learned much about Mauritian history. Would recommend 👍🏼”

“Vozač je bio izvrstan ali nismo posjetili Citadel i Rumery jer su bile zatvorene. Nije u redu prodavati mjesta koja su zatvorena i kad se dože na destinaciju nije ih moguće posjetiti. Sveukupno prosječno, vozač odličan.”

Pilot commentary helps you follow the route. Seating is assigned by passenger weight, and the shared helicopter may carry four or six people.
“I highly recommend these attraction. Worth the price. Very good communication with the organizers. The day before the activity, they send information about the exact transfer time. Airport transfer was excellent. At the airport, everything was very well organized. Important to note – in the helicopter, seating is arranged according to weight, so your seat depends on your own weight as well as that of the other passengers. There are 4 seats in the back, so 2 people sit in the middle. Nevertheless, the helicopter is almost entirely glazed, so the view is excellent from every seat. The flight itself was amazing. While flying over specific places, the pilot also…”
