Overview

Are you craving to embark on a sensory journey beyond the cliches of tropical beaches? Dive into the charming chaos reigning on the streets of the capital! We genuinely believe that no other place on the island will give you a clearer insight into the locals’ lives and into our plates.

Throughout this premium immersion experience, our guide will make use of his 25 years of professional background to offer you food for the soul too, elaborating on the history of Mauritius and sharing some atypical stories.

We did the tour with our little family and each of us thoroughly enjoyed it! Our toddler still speaks about the roti he tasted. Bernard was super accommodating and paciente with us which we really appreciate. Anna Lose was easy to communicate. Super recommend this activity as we would have never been able to experience Mauritanian cuisine this authentically on our own!

Having little idea of what the food in Mauritius was like, we were shown such an amazing variety of local cuisine. Everything we had on the tour was a delight, from the roti to the dumpling soup to the street snacks, we couldn't wait for the next stop. There were lots of off-the-beaten path places that we wouldn't have known without this tour. Eating through Port Louis while exploring all the sights was the best way to experience this unique and lively city!

We were taken on a fun little journey through Port Louis, skipping the touristy parts and delving straight into the little alleys and local favourites. Our guide took our dietary preferences into consideration and recommended us what to order, and it was delicious every time. It was clear that the tour was created by someone who grew up there, and who knew the soul of the city (and also knew good food). We felt very safe and taken care of from start to end. Highly recommend this tour to anyone, from couples to families, who would like to see Mauritius beyond the beautiful resort walls.
