Best experience ever!
We were blown away by our tour in Madagascar. Huge shout out to our guide, Tony Danielos, and our very excellent driver, Lova. Also to Sydney, who was our guide for one day on our city tour. The local guides were awesome as well - especially Jeedy, our local guide in Andasibe. Loved Lemurs Lodge, food was terrific, and Joseph took excellent care of us. I felt like we were family the whole time we were there. The animals were awesome, loved the chameleons. and wanted to kidnap a few lemurs. They jumped on us like cats! We are planning to come back! Want to see the baobabs and Nosy Be.
3 day Private tour Andasibe National Park
We had the most wonderful time on the 3 day tour with our guides Tony, Syndey and driver Luva. They showed and shared with us how beautiful Madagascar is- it is truly an amazing inland country. We were like family after the 1st day. We wished we had booked more days. We will book with them again when we come back to see more of Madagascar. Thank you Tony, Luva and Syndey for this excellent tour. Do not hesitate to book with Friendly Tour Guide!

Perfect organization, great service, great guides!!! Thank you Danielos Tony. Special thanks to PrinceReal Friendly Tour Guide Madagascar!!!
Wild and authentic experience!
I was looking for an experience in the middle of nature, but at the same time in contact with the local culture. Well, the tour led by these amazing guys was the best experience I could have chosen. From Antananarivo to Morondava, between navigation and camping on the Tsiribihina river, exploration of waterfalls and local villages, to reach the Kirindy forest, full of lemurs and other animal species, and finally the famous Baobab Avenue. This tour, with its experienced and customer-focused guides, has turned my stay in Madagascar into more than just a holiday, but a journey... A journey that will leave Madagascar forever in my heart! Thanks also for their great availability, especially due to my last minute change of plans, which led me to miss an internal flight... They moved to find me different alternatives to reach the destination, saving my vacation.Thank you guys so much! Who knows... Maybe... See you next time!😎😉❤️
Friendly Tour Guide 15 Nights Madagascar highlights
From start to finish, this tour was an unforgettable experience. When enquiring about planning this trip ,Tony was very responsive, informative and. answered all our questions as we went along .When my suitcase didn't arrive in Madagascar Tony sorted it for me and negotiated with the airline on my behalf, going above and beyond and was very much appreciatedOur guides were all knowledgeable, friendly, and punctual and clearly passionate about what they do, which made the whole trip both fun and informative. The itinerary was perfectly balanced — we saw all the major highlights without ever feeling rushed, and there were plenty of opportunities to take photos, ask questions, and just soak up the atmosphere.The transportation was comfortable, everything ran smoothly and on time, and as it was a private tour we were able to spend as little or as much time at each place as we chose. Every stop had something unique to offer, and the insider stories and local tips really brought the culture to life.It’s rare to find a tour that gets every detail right, but this one truly did, guides were on time , transfers were smooth, everything was flexible to our wishes. Hugh thanks to Tony, Sidney, Princee and Nico. The drivers were all awesome and we always felt safe despite some roads been very African massage- bumpy ! We left with amazing memories, beautiful photos, and a much deeper appreciation for the country. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and enjoyable experience. We would do it again in a heartbeat!
Broken Contract
We signed a contract with the Antsirabe guide from Mada Safari Tours to travel to Morondava on 24th August. The guide from Antsirabe knew that he could not get us to Morondava on the 24th, but refused to refund our money despite our many requests. He told us that he would provide two drivers to drive through the night. The second person, a woman, later told us that the guide asked her to accompany the driver because the driver could not speak English. We ended up travelling through the night with the car arranged by the guide. The trip from Antsirabe to Morondava took us 18 hours instead of 13 hours because of an unroadworthy car and a very tired driver. This meant that we arrived 5 hours late for our next arranged tour, so impacting on that tour.We found the Antsirabe guide from Mada Safari Tours to be untrustworthy and were furious that he would not refund our money when he knew that he could not meet the terms of the contract we signed.

Great trip!
I had a great time going on this trip. I got to see a lot of lemur species, and they like to jump on your shoulder while you feed them. It was really fun! There was also a very fun boat ride to the lemur island on the lake. My driver and tour guide were also excellent and very informative. Highly recommend!

I went on three tours. My boss Tony arranged the tour according to the length of my stay. All drivers were punctual and safe. My guide was always looking out for me. You could tell they loved Madagascar so much and were really trying to tell us about its culture and charms. When my flight home was significantly delayed, they came to pick me up at the airport again and they kept me entertained until the end without wasting my limited time. I am especially grateful to my guide Sidney for his care in Andasibe, my driver John, my guide Martial for his care in Morondaba and my boss Tony. I enjoyed my Madagascar journey because of you. I would recommend them to anyone who is going to visit Madagascar. And again I will come to Madagascar to tour with them. I'm sorry I was the only one who couldn't see the fossa, so I want revenge. Next time, I want to go to Tsingi too. It is recommended to allow extra time when visiting Morondaba.

Super
I booked a 6 night tour from Ile Saint-Marie to Antananarivo for me and my two kids. The tour was great. Our Guide Princy was very nice and helpful. We felt always save in the car, the driver made a very good job (hard road conditions).Due to bad weather conditions the ferry to the main island was cancelled. All flights were fully booked but Danielos got us somehow from the island! Thank you for your effort! I don't know how he managed it but it was an adventure my kids loved the most! Besides all the lemurs and chameleon we have seen...

Highly Recommend the Trip to the Lemur Park
The tour was very well organised, the visit to the Lemur park was the highlight of the trip. My guide Vivace Colegue was very friendly and knowledgeable, he explained the history of Madagascar and its biodiversity in great detail.
Return and visits to Motherland
We wanted to personalize our stay in Mada, and after some correspondence (mails, WhatsApp) we were able to plan our stay with Hugues in detail. This ease in organizing is an asset. In addition, the solidarity label aimed at improving the lives of children who have dropped out of school in Antsirabe has reinforced our choice of Tsaraventura. We rented a 4WD. Our Driver Guide Mr FIDEL, very friendly, professional, careful transported us throughout our stay in the best safety conditions. The infernal traffic and traffic jams in Tana and elsewhere the road conditions did not disturb Mr FIDEL. Despite a rather short stay in the Highlands, Mr FIDEL guided us perfectly and we made the maximum visits during these 7 days and this in safety. Also in the area of hygiene his advice on the choice of restaurants, gargottes etc... were relevantThank you, Mr FIDEL!Alain and family
Excellent day tour of the capital
Tony is an excellent guide. He was waiting for me in the foyer and we began the tour at the Lemur Park. From there we visited the Queens palace. He is an informative guide and very knowledgeable about Madagascar. The car is excellent and well driven. The tour goes at the pace you require. Highly recommend.
It's all worth
We had a really good and cozy day, with our driver and guide. The guide was good at communicating and telling about the places and things we saw.
It's all worth
Good mix between culture in the city and nature a little outside the city. Our guide had a huge insight into the history of Madagascar, which he was good at telling about.
An amazing tour from start to finish with the dream team of John Razafy the guide and driver Stephen.. full day tour through villages mountains boat trip lemurs. Everything I wanted from Madagascar in one trip. Totally professional in every way. At your pace. If you want to stop they will stop. I really had an amazing day with these guys
