    This is a once in a lifetime experience. If you have the opportunity it’s an unforgettable trip. The tour is amazing from beginning to end, Madagascar has so many wonders to see. The guide, Tovo, is the perfect guide: he has full knowledge of anything you ask about the culture, tradition, flora, fauna or history of all the places, he guided me though the rich history of the country and helped me make the best possible visit. Im very grateful for the experience. Mihail, the driver, made us feel safe being very careful and resilient through the bad-shaped roads of some regions of the island. Great driver very professional. Both put a lot of personal effort to make the experience unbelievable, I’m still impressed with that.

    Tovo is a hardworking and quitely thoughtful guide, always ready to step in to help when needed. Traveling in Madagascar can be a bit rough due to its undeveloped roads and infrastructure, but Tovo's made it easy. The nature is raw and stunning, and well worth the trip.

    Absolutely amazing!! Everything about this trip was perfect. Great communication with Aris from pre- booking through the tour itself. What made this trip so memorable was our guide Tovo. He is an absolutely extraordinary tour guide! I have been to 143 countries on countless tours and he was by far the best tour guide I have ever been with. Every morning he arrived happy and ready for the day. No issue was too much and he accompanied us on all local tours, ensuring our safety and happiness. He had boundless energy and provided us with so much local knowledge and folklore. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore Madagascar!
