On December 17, Girish pick me up at the main airport on Mauritius.

As I only had a few days to tour the island before my departure, travel hub, was kind enough to start my first tour by picking me up at the airport. They Advised me, with some valuable tips, on how to clear customs very quickly. Outside the main gate, Girish held up a sign with my name on it. We then proceeded to his van where I got a tour of the south Island. The process was facilitated by the use of "WhatsApp" To communicate

I did the Chamarel tour, Which comprised:
* Seven Coloured Earth of Chamarel
* Chamarel Waterfall
* Rhumerie de Chamarel (Rum Factory)
* Benitiers Island & Le Morne Mountain
* Tamarind beach

I enjoyed the tour very much and Girish dropped me off at My hotel for the 3 PM check-in. I highly recommend arranging A tour like this, when you arrive early, as most hotels have a 3 PM Check-in and you were carrying luggage. This allows you to immediately start your vacation While not wasting time Checking in a hotel.

Thank you travel hub for accommodating me.

Excellent punctual service for both arrival and departure, plus great honesty - I left a bag with 3 passports, keys, 2 I-Pads in the taxi upon arrival - the company called to inform me and the driver returned with it on his next visit to the area - around midnight - I was grateful to wait up!

Anja van den B.

We used their services for airport transfers but were only able to use the return journey as I had mixed up our arrival date. They were extremely helpful in trying to find us another ride but we managed to find a taxi at the airport who would charge the same price of RS2500. The return trip to the airport went smoothly. The driver was on time to collect us, the car was clean and comfortable and our driver was very pleasant. Can highly recommend their services.

I contacted TravelHub Mauritius via WhatsApp and had an almost immediate response, and they were helpful in answering my queries before making a booking. We booked the Iles aux Cerfs speedboat tour with the Undersea Walk, which was absolutely amazing & I’d thoroughly recommend anyone to do it! After receiving such a good service for the excursion, we didn’t hesitate to book them for our return transfer to the airport, and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them. Thank you TravelHub Mauritius! 🇲🇺

We booked the airport transfer (2x), the Chamarel Adventure South tour and the Port Louis tour. The booking is very easy and all drivers were very friendly, helpful and communicative. The tours are like private tours and the drivers tell you some interesting information, take pictures and show you everything you want. Would definitely recommend it! 😃

Established since 1977 in Quatre-Bornes, Taxi Service Mauritius, is the first local taxi-hailing company in Mauritius dispatching vehicles to pick-up guests around the island on a 24/7 basis. We’ve also learned to excel in providing a friendly service to tourists visiting the island.

We’ve succeeded in building a very positive 5-Star reputation in 2020 on our TripAdvisor & Trustpilot profiles thanks to our fantastic, friendly & dedicated staff. Unlike the competition, we believe that each & every transfer needs planning & briefing. Based on your special requests, we know who we have to send to you & we won’t just send a driver who was just roaming around your pick-up location.

That is also why we also urge customers to book at least a day in advance. To cut short, we are the ones that offer great service at a reasonable price in Mauritius (usually 30-50% cheaper than the individual taxis).
