I had a great experience on my tour. Chris was a great tour guide, he was able to answer the questions the group had. He was also helpful to me with direction after the tour. Chris was also very good with the history, food and culture about Mauritius. I do recommend this food tour.

We visited grand baie with Christopher as our guide. The food was good at the 3 restaurants we stopped at; the information shared was interesting. It would have been nice to have some local street food to sample and perhaps a sweet treat to end the tour.

Très bonne expérience qui allie visite de la ville et histoire et découverte culinaire mauricienne. Très bon moment en compagnie de Rudi !

Fantastic food tour experience with Ashvin! He was very knowledgeable about the country’s and city’s history, and was able to convey it in a fun, light matter! I was also impressed that he had everyone’s dietary restrictions and preferences in mind while guiding us through the bustling city. The food itself was a 10/10, we are already thinking about going back to some of the places we visited tomorrow! We also got some valuable insights about small details in the city and specific recommendations for dinner restaurants in Chinatown (after our failed attempt at trying to find an open one yesterday)! So we can only recommend this tour, thank you for the amazing experience!

We went on the Port Louis food tour with TasteBuddies this week and I would definitely recommend it. Our tour guide was Rudy who was informative, friendly, and interesting. We tried lots of local street foods that we wouldn't have known where to get or tried on our own. The tour is more than just a food tour though, we visited lots of areas of the capital Port Louis including the street art in China Town and local parliament buildings. Rudy gave us a great insight into the history of Port Louis and the mix of cultures as we went round. A great experience.

This tour was amazing. Great food and guide was very informative, we learnt a lot about the city of Port Louis. We were exhausted afterwards as a lot of walking so make sure wear good shoes and take a hat.

We had an amazing time on our street food tasting tour today, Rudy, our guide is super knowledgeable and explains everything really well. This isn't just a food tasting tour but you also get a lot of information about Port Louis and Mauritius as well which is fabulous, we done this tour and visited Port Louis today with only 3 days left of our holiday, we wish we done it much sooner! We are both vegan as well and there was so many options for us to try, at no point we felt left out or excluded from our group who were non-vegan. The whole tour lasted around 3 hours, with some time to spend at the market.
If you are visiting Mauritius I highly recommend you try taste buddies, you won't regret it!

Incredible street food tour with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, Rudy. 100% recommend this tour when visiting Port Louis as not only do you get to try delicious street food, but you also learn a little about the captial and Mauritius. Being vegans, we were worried that we may miss out on some food however almost all of the stops were suitable. We tried roti, dholl puri, banana pastries and a lot more. With a refreshing tamarind drink to end it at the central market. Price wise it is reasonable for the guided tour but obviously if you visited the spots on their own just for the food you would be a lot less but the experience was worth the cost.

One of the highlights of my trip to Mauritius. It is not just a food tour but basically a full city tour including (amazing) food. Rudy gave us lots of insights and advice, all of that in a fun way, and the food selection really gave a great idea of the diverse culture and food scene of Mauritius in general and Port Louis in particular. Absolutely recommended!

What a great tour! First of, our tourguide Rudy(spelling) was amazing, knowledgable and very charismatic.
The food was very good and the tour in general was super informative and well executed. Definitely recomend this to anyone visit Mauritius as a great way to get to know the culture and food of the Mauritian people!

We had a great time on our tour through Port Louis. Not only did our guide lead us from one delicious place to the next, he also told us a lot about the history of Port Louis and Mauritius as well as the food itself. Basically a food tour and a Sightseeing Tour combined. Make sure you skip breakfast.

Tour de Port Louis vraiment sympa !
on a appris plein de choses sur l'histoire de Maurice et on a goûté à tellement de spécialités qu'on aurait jamais oser aller chercher nous même, vraiment sympa merci !
Un petit bémol non negligeable quand même : à la fin du tour, le guide nous a recommandé de ne pas acheter de la vanille au marché de Port Louis et nous a tous emmenés dans une boutique à l'étage du craft market : des gousses de vanille sous vides, soit disant 25 pour 1500 roupies...
quelle surprise en rentrant en France de voir que la moitié sont pourries et qu'il n'y en a que 13-14 max par paquet...
Nous nous sentions en confiance puisque nous avons passé 3h avec ce guide...
Donc je recommande le tour mais clairement pas les commerçants soit disant "moins chers et de meilleure qualité" auprès desquels il nous a fait terminer la visite. Je pense que vos partenariats sont peut être à revoir à ce niveau là
D'où les 4 étoiles et non 5

One of the best experiences that we have done in Mauritius. Ashvin was an incredible guide, really prepared about Mauritian history, culture and food. We ate AMAZING street food and we had a really nice walk around the main spots of Port Louis. WE REALLY RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE!!!

Amazing experience.
Our guide Adrian was so friendly and he was spreading his good mood to all of us. He showed us many places in Port Louis and taught us about the history of Mauritius. He is fluent in English and French so that everyone could understand.
We had 4 stations with different food, showing the variety of Mauritius' culture. Vegetarian was available.
Absolutely recommend it !

Our tour took more than 3 hours (advertised time) which meant that we had to leave the tour a bit early for our appointment. It took longer than it should have because it was not ran efficiently, the guide had to explain everything twice once in English and once in French.
Adrien was friendly, and told us some cool information. But the whole thing is just way too long, it could have been done in 1 to 1.5 hours.
Also in the end we were still hungry. It was difficult to gauge how much we should eat at each stop because we didn’t know what was coming.
We were a group of 7 and I don’t think it’s good value for money - we paid £35 per person for the tour.

The guide was a very nice person i enjoyed his personality, but the tour itself was very bland. Information shared was good but i would not call it a food tasting.

Fantastic way to see the capital and learn about the history of the nation. Guide was knowledge and friendly. Good amount of food to try. Quite a tiring walk over 2 1/2 hours so bare that in mind if you have young children or are not able bodied. Highly recommended experience
