It was a great experience. We had the opportunity to visit this Domain with its Château and picturesque and romantic scenery…beautiful moment. It was an opportunity for us to enjoy local food, lovely. The gâteau Piments and ti-pouri during our safari drive were a delight. We also enjoyed our overnight stay at the Chazal camping tent and gave some fun with its zipline. It was really a very special time for us.

Your Morning's Itinerary
Ascend to Citadel Hill for New Perspectives of the City
This all-encompassing tour of Port Louis starts off with an ascent up to Citadel Hill which offers outstanding panoramic views of the capital city. Your transport will drive you to the best lookout point where you can be sure to capture amazing photos of Port Louis from this unique, 360° vantage point. Your guide will point out all the iconic landmarks and places of interest including the Champ de Mars Racecourse, Parliament House, Central Bank, Port Louis Harbour and several special places of worship like Cathedral Church, Jummah Mosque, Tien Tan Pagoda and Kalayson Temple – a wonderful collection of Mauritius’ many different faiths and religions.
Next we’ll come back down to earth and pay a visit to the Blue Penny Museum which is dedicated to the history and art of the island. It is most famously home to the Blue and Red Penny stamps which were purchased for a staggering $2 million in 1993 and brought back to Mauritius after more than 150 years abroad.
After the museum, we can enjoy a guided stroll through the city centre, towards Le Caudan Waterfront where we will stop for lunch at a popular restaurant to enjoy some traditional island cuisine while resting our feet.

We are extremely grateful for the help and assistance that maurigold tours gave us to achieve our dream wedding.
Their experience and attention to detail made our special day and vacation memorable,leaving us with a feeling of gratitude and excitement for our next return.
We visited a beautiful restaurant called Domaine Anna which gave us a wonderful feel for what Mauritius can offer, with the traditional Sega dance and live music.
Our visit to Caudan Waterfront was really picturesque with many places to buy your souvenirs in their own craft market.
The Blue Penny museum is a must as it is famous for its Blue Penny Stamp.
We had a 3 day stopover in Mauritius on our way to South Africa. We were welcomed by the chaffeur on our arrival at the airport after our long journey from Sydney. We had booked the shandrani hotel which was a 10 minute drive from the airport. We also booked the services of maurigold tours for the reverse airport transfer. Fantastic and reliable service. We would use them again.
Mauritius has the most beautiful and challenging golf courses, in particular Mont Choisy, which every golf enthusiast would find a challenge.
With the help of Maurigold Tours we were able to get around very easily incorporating nature activities and other gold courses around the island.
Je suis extrêmement reconnaissante auprès de Mildred, la directrice de MauriGold Tours. J’avais initialement prévue de faire un séjour d’un mois avec ma soeur, mais on est resté 3 mois au bout du compte à cause du confinement. Mes vacances se sont bien passées à Pereybere selon le programme au tout début. Avec le confinement’confinement’ on a du annuler la deuxième partie de notre séjour dans l’est sans frais d’annulation. Avec l’aide de Mildred, on a pu trouver un logement convenable à court terme à Pereybere. Je remercie toute l’équipe de MauriGold pour leur assistance pendant la période du confinement et d’avoir pu nous aider à trouver un vol pour rentrer à Paris. On retournera sans doute quand la situation retournera à la normale.
Je suis une inconditionnelle de l île Maurice et pour cela, avec mon mari ,nous nous décidâmes , début février 2020, de découvrir l île Rodrigues. Nous avons consulté notre agence Mauri Gold Tours qui nous organisé un circuit de trois nuits ,taillé sur mesure, dont nous fûmes enchantés !!!
En effet,nous avons pu bénéficier d une excursion sur l ‘île aux cocos et d une visite guidée à la réserve François Legnat où la végétation endémique nous subjugua. Nous pûmes également admirer les tortues géantes vivant dans ce paradis préservé. Nous gardons un souvenir mémorable de l ‘accueil chaleureux et authentique des Rodriguais. Notre séjour se termina dans le cadre idyllique de l hôtel Royal Palm à Maurice où nous avons pu jouir de toutes les prestations de ce lieu luxueux et emblématique. Un grand merci à toute l’ équipe de Mauri Gold Tours pour la programmation de ce circuit dans les deux îles enchanteresses!!!!!!
