5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable Guidebook, 14 Jun 2005
By Youssef J. Habbouche (MA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I booked a tour to Mauritius in May-June 2004. Although I went with a travel agency, this book proved to be indispensable.
It consistently proved to be faithful to reality. I am rating it a five star based on my Mauritius experience only.

First and foremost, this guide provides a detailed map, essential for locating yourself on the island.
The book also provides accurate and reliable description of the various attractions and things to do.
The traveling tips concerning transportation, food and local culture were extremely helpful and saved me precious vacation time.
On top of all this, it provides a wealth of information on hotels and restaurants.

My advice:
- The prices in the book might be a little off now. It seems that the local currency, the Rupee, is pegged to the Euro which makes this island more expensive for US travelers (advice based on the currency conversion at the time)
- Beware of tourist shops, their prices are 5 times the price you can get for the same item on the popular market.
- Go visit the popular markets, you will find nice exotic hand crafted items and some world renowned vanilla beans.
- Take hiking trips, there is some breath taking scenery out there
- And of course, take advantage of the magnificent beaches and water activities

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide., 17 Jul 2009
I have planned a 5 week trip to Mauritius using this book. It tells you everything you need to know and more, and I'll be bringing it with me as it's not too bulky.

4.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable, 14 Jul 2009
By Ali (UK) - See all my reviews
My partner and I honeymooned in Mauritius earlier this year and as we both like exploring we bought this book - I am really glad we did: there was so many attractions featured in the book but not available through the tour operators or hotel and with the help of this book and local taxis we planned several days out independantly (with success) which I am sure were much cheaper and more enjoyable than any organised tours. Definately value for money.
