Mauritius · CITY TOURS
Port Louis is the only city on the island and it rewards two hours on foot more than a day in a car. These 4 compare the walking routes, the food stops built into them and what each one costs.
Join Taste Buddies for a three-hour, small-group walk through Port Louis, starting at Caudan Waterfront. Guides such as Christopher, Rudy, Ash, and Adrien lead you to about seven tastings, from faratas and rougaille to dumplings and pastries, while explaining Mauritian history and culture in English or French.
“Food was amazing! Was so full by the end of it. Tour guide was really insightful. Would definitely recommend”
Walk Port Louis with a food-focused guide such as Dourvesh, stopping for 6 to 8 or more Mauritian tastings, tropical fruit, and a juice or milkshake. Visit the Central Market, Chinatown, Company Garden, historic sites, and street-art spots while learning how Indian, Chinese, African, and French influences shaped the city.
“Loved the mix of culture with museum visit, lots of street art, temples and street food. Guide was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I was vegetarian and had made the guide aware but at one location the vegetarian option was to just not have the meat/fish - no substitute which was a bit poor. That aside all the food we had was great - and there was lots of it.”
Walk about 3 km through Port Louis with guide Adrien, tasting Mauritian street food in China Town, visiting Jummah Masjid, the Natural History Museum, and Central Market. The three-hour tour costs $41, includes food, water, and entry fees, and runs in English, French, or Mauritian Creole for groups of up to eight.
