I will describe my review for Mauritius in various parts.
Overall, my trip was a memorable one as I have done a considerable amount of research on places and hotels, things to do on leisure days. Mauritius a beautiful place and if you plan properly, then you can do many things. It has something for every body.
Travel Company-Book It Forget IT- A Super Pathetic company. As the name suggested, once you pay them, you need forget about them and your trip. It was my mistake to go with them even after so many poor reviews for Mauritius. I should have gone with other travel companies who had given me quotes for a better price. The only reason I went with them as they were given me quotes for Tarisa Hotel which was my personal favourite from my research. Mr. Sahil from “Book It Forget It” was a liar; he assured me about a lot of things and none of the things were pan out as promised. First, he will assure you that he can give you the best and after payment, he will start making excuses and limitations of his company on delivering things. Example: I wanted a specific itinerary; Sahil promised me that Itinerary can be modified at later stage which was a complete lie. Rather, I came to know my changed Itinerary on the arrival date at the airport. I had 2 leisure dates where I have booked my things separately. Upon checking woth him about my changed Itinerary, he said I need to inform him about my plans on leisure date before. First, why the hell do I need to inform you what I do in my leisure time? Second, I informed you well in advance during our initial finalized plan that I am scheduling my other activities which are not covered in the quote on the leisure dates. Now, I had to request people at a foreign country saying that my travel company is stupid enough to change the trip detail without letting me know and I want to go with them.
Again, Sahil promised me that, I will be getting a local SIM card upon reaching to Airport (Saturday) I didn’t get any and upon reaching there. when I tried to contact Sahil, he repeatedly disconnected my call and after many hours he told me that he would talk to the ground company and handover a sim card on Monday. First, how do you expect me to contact the ground company at least without a sim card. Second, when you received money you never had issues with being a Saturday, now all of sudden you have issue with Saturday. Third, he never contacted me regarding any resolution after it. When I contacted on my last day if I am getting any answer from him, he was not shameful and rude upon answering to me. He won’t let you sleep or do anything else when coming to paying them. He even gave me a wrong bank account information to send the money and later blamed me that I was sending to a wrong address. Why would someone with sound mind try to send 60K to a wrong address?
I will suggest everyone please go with any other company but this. I am going to post my review in every channel possible so that people will know how pathetic this Sahil person is and how he is dealing with people with lies and bogus commitments.
Rinchen Rengali – Travel Triangle Holiday Expert- I had very few conversations with him. Before trip, he was helpful and solved my issues with Sahil especially during wrong bank information affair. However, when we had issues with sim card and changed itinerary, he never responded me back in time and all I received from him that “he is looking into it”. He never responded me back after it with a resolution for our issue.
Regarding the Trip itself:- Without a doubt, drop the north Tour. It is a complete waste of time and money. The only place in this trip has any value is a fort in Port Louise. You will get to see the whole Port Luise itself from the top but it can be dropped from the plan. Rather spend the day going to Botanical Garden or any other place in Mauritius. South tour is fun. Go with the combo pack provided at the Park. Zipline and Nepali bridges were fun. Ile aux Cerf- Very beautiful place. But, don’t go with the price given by your tour company for water sports. Rather go to the island and contact the people there. They will give you cheaper price instead (difference will be couple of thousands overall for 3-4 activities)
