This was an excellent tour. We saw a lot of great places in Port Louis which otherwise we'd have missed. The guide took us to some amazing local places to taste different types of street food, and that was delicious as well. But most importantly, driving around Port Louis is super hectic. Parking is a big problem. So without a guide, had we tried to do the same tour, we would never have hit all the spots. I was tired from all the driving - and I wasn't even the driver. I genuinely believe that for anyone interested in this tour, doing the guided experience with this company is the way to go. We loved our tour guide and the tour. Totally recommend it.
