Excellent tour today with Sailen, me and my partner both fully enjoyed our day. The guide was full of knowledge and was very enthusiastic which makes things a lot better. Lunch at St Aubin was lovely, enjoyed how they incorporated the vanilla grown there in every course. Would highly recommend this tour and if you manage to get Sailen then you’re in for a good day! He also recommended restaurants for us to visit and filled us in with a lot of local knowledge. Also appreciate he did it on his day off!

What an awesome little tour! Our guide was very informative, not only about the food but also the history of Port Louis. We ate a variety of local snacks/dishes and I went out of my way to find some of the same dishes (asking by name) in the area I was staying in. Mauritian food is truly diverse, just the way I like it! Definitely recommend this tour!

Small group walking tour through Port Louis city area with a very polite and knowledgeable guide. Regular stops with interesting detail about buildings, history, background etc. It is a must do if you have a keen interest in local culture and history with the added bonus of sampling food prepared whilst you are there.

Rudi was an excellent host and showed us parts of Port Louis we would never have gone to and gave us food that we would never have tried. A firm recommendation.

Our second tour with this fun tour company. Food tasting is excellent, guide is fun and engaging with historical information given throughout the walk.
