Synopsis
The handy pocket-size guide is packed with useful information, tips and recommendations, accompanied by colour photographs, charts and maps for the first-time traveller who wants to experience the major highlights that Mauritius has to offer. This travel book surpasses other guides in that it incorporates essential information in an easy-to-carry and easy-to-read format that is attractive and useful at the same time. It provides a visitor with an invaluable introduction to Mauritius by concisely highlighting the region's 'must see' areas in a practical and user-friendly format, thus encouraging the tourist to make the most of his/her available time. All the essential information you need to get around an unfamiliar region is compacted into useful and practical 'At-a-Glance' sections at the end of each chapter. The fold-out map of Mauritius is ideal for tourists and visitors. In addition to the main map of Mauritius, which highlights scenic routes, it features 11 detailed area maps and 3 town plans.

Customer Reviews

Don't Leave Home Without It
This is an excellent pocket-sized guide to a very beautiful and vibrant country. The chapters each cover a main region to visit (split into Port Louis, Central Mauritius, South Mauritius etc.) and include all the must-see places, many of which are not on the usual tourist trail. Unlike most other guides it's also in full colour with lots of pictures so you get a real feel of what awaits you. The guide only covers Mauritius and not any of the other nearby islands such as Reunion and the Seychelles, which are separate travel destinations in themselves. The map included is also very useful as local maps, where you can actually find one, can be very inaccurate or out-of-date - the locals don't need them with Mauritius being such a small island. All in all well worth the investment.

Fantastic guide to Mauritius
This guide is one of our most used guide books. This book gave us all the information we needed, with details of the best places to visit on the island, and the best restaurants to visit. As this was our first visit to the island, we found this book extremelly useful, and we would not have enjoyed ourselves anywhere near as much without it. Thoroughly recommended for anyone travelling to Mauritius for the first time.

I found this to be very clear and well set out .
I have yet to sample the delights of the Island but reading this very good guide makes me want to be there now. It is well presented, clear and colourful. The advice was succinct and to the point and also spends time on the surrounding Islands and how best to travel to them. This will be my mentor when I go there in January. The contents of this guide will stand me in good stead.
