Highly recommend!

Published on Oct, 2019

I would recommend this company to everyone visiting beautiful Mauritius! We did the highlights of East Mauritius day trip with Hans. And it was an amazing experience! Hans showed us the real Mauritius. Where the Dutch discovered the island and much more about the history. Hans also did his best to make our day perfect because he heard that we where on our honeymoon. No scheduled stops at shops in the hope you buy something. Just what was on the planning and extra! Hans is an amazing guide! And the company is truely professional! As a travelplanner in the Netheirlands I do recommend this company to anyone. Greetings, Tanja Zaaza-Blokdijk

Great Tour!
