About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Becky999170 contributionsFantastic tour!We had a wonderful time on this tour. Avi contacted me soon after I booked to introduce himself and confirm the pickup time and place. He contacted me again a couple of days before the tour to let me know that one of the waterfalls on the tour was dry and to give me several options of other places to visit. I appreciated the advance notice so we could pick which of the options we were most interested in. Avi was friendly and knowledgeable and he took great photos - he is an excellent guide! We loved the beautiful sites and hearing the history of Mauritius. Since we are vegetarians Avi suggested a good local restaurant with delicious roti and dholl puri. When we arrived the line was out the door, but Avi has an “in” with the owners so we were able to skip the line and even peek into the kitchen to see everything being made by hand. It was delicious! We had a great day; I highly recommend Avi and this tour.Written January 23, 2025
- Nolan C0 contributionsGreat people Fantastic tripIf you’re hesitating to book this trip don’t! This was one of the highlights of our fantastic holiday to Mauritius. Our guides Avi and Jaya were just amazing and so knowledgeable. We were genuinely blown away by their hospitality and they customised the tour to fit in all that we wanted to see. The highlights were the traditional breakfast and the superb lunch at the Rhumerie De Chamarel. We will definitely be back and look forward to meeting both our hosts again. Thank you again.Written November 30, 2024
- D602DRjohn0 contributionsMemorable, enjoyable and stress free experience.The communication before the day was prompt and informative. Avi our driver collected us from our hotel at the agreed time. The SUV was clean inside and out, water was provided and the air conditioning worked effectively. We were asked what type of things we were interested in and our day was planned accordingly. All the many sights were well worth visiting, we especially liked the rhumerie and the cashmere clothes factory shop. Avi was very pleasant, polite and informative. He took care of all admin so we could fully enjoy all the experiences without queuing. All in all a thoroughly wonderful day to remember.Written November 23, 2024
- Jelena9769760 contributionsA perfect day and must do tour in MauritiusWe had an incredible experience on the Southwest Mauritius tour! We were able to explore so many beautiful and diverse sights, and the natural beauty of Mauritius completely took our breath away. From lush landscapes to stunning viewpoints, every stop was more beautiful than the last. Our guide was fantastic—extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. He made sure to accommodate all our requests and went out of his way to ensure we had a memorable day. His passion for the island was evident, and his insights made the experience even more special. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mauritius. It’s the perfect way to experience the island’s natural wonders, and you’ll leave with unforgettable memories. Definitely set aside a day for this tour!Written November 22, 2024
- 498prabhd0 contributionsGreat experience cooking with Jaya and Avi!The private cooking lesson was amazing! Jaya and Avi were very nice to us and accommodating, as well as showing us what its like to experience the islands cuisine as a local. They took us to the markets to buy groceries and souvenirs, and taught us how to make traditional indo-mauritian food. They were very knowledgeable and generous to us as well. Would go back!Written November 18, 2024
- 941julesp0 contributionsBest thing that could’ve happened to meThis experience was simply amazing. Java and Aby are beautiful people - inside and out. But they’re not only kind, they are also as local as it can get. Both know a lot about the island. It was almost an educational session - historically and culturally - while at the same time I learned a lot about the food and cooking there. The food tasted delicious. Everything was made and served with love. I would 100% recommend this to anybody visiting the island. Thank you both for an amazing day :) PS: Don’t have anything planned afterwards. If you get along you might just end up spending the day together!Written October 2, 2024
- Sightseer538146677190 contributionsAbsolutely recommendAfter taking the scenic south west tour with Avi and Jaya we just had to book another tour with them! We had a great day touring Port Louis and visiting Cap Malheureux. Again, they designed the tour exactly for our taste. Jaya took us to see the Aapravasi Ghat World Heritage Site and explained all of the history alongside. This was really interesting! Afterwards we went to the market. Jaya seems to know a lot about cooking and she was really great at showing us the different fruits and vegetables you can get at the market! We also went for a great lunch with dim sum and fried noodles in Chinatown, this was really good. I absolutely recommend this tour or any other tour with Avi and Jaya!Written September 26, 2024
- Sightseer538146677190 contributionsFantastic tour of Mauritius!Highly recommend a tour with Unwind Mauritius! We had a great day touring the island. Very knowledgeable guides. They adapt the tour to your personal preferences. We had a lot of fun and absolutely recommend using them if spending some time in Mauritius!Written September 19, 2024
- silasw6340 contributionsGreat experience provided by Unwind MauritiusAvi, our driver, gave us an exceptional service, was informative, friendly and helpful. He was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and about Mauritius history. He arranged a great experience of lunch at the Rhumerie de Chamarel, including a special celebration of our honeymoon, and made the whole experience very relaxing and not rushed in any way. He also went the extra mile to find some glue for my glasses, which had broken. A true gentleman.Written September 15, 2024
- tobiasrP3040HD0 contributionsGood DriverVery good experience and the driver was precise with the time and very good at explaining and knowing the history of MauritiusWritten September 4, 2024
- Dreamer116827981180 contributionsDisappointing long day- half the sights not seen.This what not quite the trip we were promised. We only got to see half the sights we were promised. Ravi our driver was not that experienced ( he told me that this was his fourth trip). The car was not what we would call a SUV. When we got in the car the middle seat belt was missing , it took 10 minutes or so to rectify it. We also had to stop and sit in the car whilst our driver got water ( surely this should be in a cool box and in the car already). Communication was poor- Ravi drove past one of the sights we were meant to see and said we would see it on the way back. During lunch our driver ordered a Pina Colada - a driver drinking alcohol! On the way back it was far too dark to go and see the waterfall and another sight. On the way back to the hotel ( over a 2 hour drive) Ravi got lost twice and took us to the wrong hotel. We did see some of the sights and Ravi did take us to other sights as the road was shut to the lighthouse ( this should have been told to us prior to the booking I thought). We were very disappointed- not the experience we were expecting or promised.Written August 19, 2024
- Mobile8173120 contributionsFabulous SW MauritiusAmazing day out, saw so many sites and Avi was brilliant! Tailored the tour to what we wanted to see of this beautiful island, its history and culture. Thank youWritten June 16, 2024
- alexandrapN47NI0 contributionsSouth West visit to Mauritius IslandWe enjoyed a whole day all inclusive outing to South West of Mauritius Island. We were met by our most amicable guide for the day a real knowledgeable polyglot and the taxi driver equally talented linguist and safe driver! We enjoyed the day fully packed sight seeing. First we visited a shop that sold many varieties of different flavoured Rums even a bottle with a dodo within! It was a pleasant rum tasting experience. This shop was very elegant well stocked with local merchandise most tempting unusual cushion covers with dodos long since sadly extinct! Scarves, t shirts, dresses, shorts, shirts, swimwear, nik naks and more. We then visited the Hindu Temple Ganga Talau with Nandi Bull and other impressive Deity Statues as well as the sacred lake with waters from the Ganges River. We received the blessing on the forehead as well as the red cotton thread blessing from the Sanyasi . Within the Temple we received another blessing on the forehead Tilak. The hoot of this visit for me was seeing the several cats watching fish swimming tantalisingly close to them so cute! The next visit was to the amazing model boat making factory in which local artisans displayed their craft of so many varieties of vessels all accurately created in varying model sizes. Our guide and some workers were amazed and delighted as we were too on seeing the Amerigo Vespucci model and our photos of us having actually been invited to visit this very same life size training Clipper. This was followed by a tea tasting we felt so honoured as the Late Queen Elizabeth II had done amongst other famous world leaders. Suitably refreshed after delicious leaf tea tasting we headed for the lunch at the Avalon Golf Course. This was a real treat a served lunch Nouvelle Cuisine Style but with generous portions and artistically very beautifully presented. Earlier we had visited the Trou aux Cerfs extinct Volcano 2 million year old crater which we viewed in safety from a viewing platform .We then visited the Three Gorges National Park with the double waterfall, the 7 coloured earth, the pond with the congregation of giant turtles some seemingly burying their heads in the earth ready for hibernation maybe. The day ended with a welcome visit to a rum factory and more rum tasting most deliciously flavoured Rums also a new departure of various rum flavoured jams. Then a long drive back to our Hotel feeling tired, happy and relaxed as we drove through beautiful scenery mountainous planes, fields of cane sugar, tea plantations, and more.Written May 28, 2024
- mrigakshimaini0 contributionsExceptional all day tourJaya and Avi made my day! It’s a must do when you are in Mauritius! They were attentive and kind to take care of the needs and really made it a cherished experience!Written April 25, 2024
- Mark B0 contributionsA great day out to see the islandWe had a superb day out with our very knowledgeable and friendly guide, Sandeep. He was flexible and planned the day to arrive at specific places at the best times. A proud Mauritian, he was keen to show us his country and conveyed extensive knowledge on everything from culture to food and wildlife. Some of the roads in Mauritius are very tight with sharp turns. This can be uncomfortable for people who may suffer from travel sickness. Overall, we thoroughly recommend this trip, especially if you want to get out of the resort and see Mauritius. Also, the inclusive lunch at the Chamerel rhumerie is superb. The chicken and prawn curry is very nice.Written March 19, 2024
