“To really appreciate this botanical garden you need to be really interested in trees. There is an area with spice trees and our guide gave us some leqves and talked about them which really was the highlght of the visit. It's a pity that the colonial mansion on the property is not being used.”

“Driver very friendly and flexible* but the locations we went to were very so-so. *Driver let us modify the tour: dropping some churches and shrines and going to the 7 coloured earths at Chamarel instead. Not really worth the bother. Good job we didn't book with the local agent; would have been 3 times the price.”
