    The tour with Eric was filled with such humor and insights. He’s shows such great passion for Mauritius, respects the culture and offers honest yet fun insight on the country along with the role spirituality plays. He showed great patience and was very accommodating to our family throughout the whole day - we highly recommended taking the tour with Eric and you will definitely not regret doing so. Thank you Eric and wishing you all the best in the future.

    We had a great tour with Eric at Moris Otreman! He is both passionate and knowledgeable about Mauritius’s history and culture, and so full of good insights to share. We came to Mauritius hoping to get a better idea of the religious landscape of the island, so we took his Indian spirituality tour. Eric was communicative, kind, hospitable, and quite knowledgeable about the subject. Our only complaint is that we wish lunch would have been offered on the tour, but we had a great experience and I have no doubt that his other tours have a similar high quality. Having taken other tours on the island, I can say that this was my best experience.

    Belle Journée de découverte des religions Hindoue et Tamoule à Maurice au travers du circuit proposé par Eric. Passionnés de spiritualité et curieux de la pratique religieuse d'origine Indienne sur l'île, nous avons pu visiter 3 lieux importants, temples et Kovils, et découvrir les principales divinités du Panthéon Hindou, leurs histoires qui s'attachent aux célébrations majeures se déroulant sur l'île tout au long de l'année. Eric maîtrise bien son sujet et ne sera pas à court d'anecdotes pour vous permettre d'en savoir plus sur la défense droite cassée de Ganesh ou de la langue rouge de Kali ! Nous avons eu également la chance de pouvoir assister à la célébration Tamoule de Govinden, en l'honneur de Krishna, au kovil de Grand-Gaube, dans le nord de l'île. Au final, une journée instructive et passionnante pour qui veut aller un peu plus loin dans la connaissance de l'île et de sa vie quotidienne.
