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.”
