All the amazing sites we're spectacular. Yhe driver shan was very helpful with ideas and photography . It was however flawed with regards to the payment. The cyclone changed my plans and the driver shan came up with this south island tour. I spent the whole day when i was in the car trying to pay for it yhrough you site and through yhe operator. It would not allow me This ruined some of the experience as i could not relax. I felt that i was also on the back foot as i started the tour late at 10am and it was rushed for me as i had late evening plans. It was also codt me more than if i had booked it in england. I thought i booked that morning the full day south tour but the tour operator put me in for the picturesque south tour. No difference apart from price. But I was glad to be doing something since casela park was cancelled.

It was just a nice experience with a kind and knowlegable driver. The lunch in the Chamerel Rhumerie was nearly perfect. We did have an opinion of the Mauritian countryside
