Madagascar, Antananarivo and surroundings one day authentic city tour for local culture

Rav far exceeded our expectations. He is very experienced as the first Tours by Locals guide in Madagascar and 30 years of experience. He was great about sharing the culture of the Malagasy people as well as disucssing the daily lives of the Malagasy people. He was informative without being too over the top and talking nonstop. Very nice guy and the driver he used was exceptionally kind. Would definitely go with Raj again on our next trip.

Ravo is a very conscientious and serious guide. His English was adequate and his organising skills very good. Ravo was always very concerned for our welfare and the very local guides he used were very knowledgable about the fauna and flora of their area. We had a very interesting and enjoyable tour of the Southern part of Madagascar.

Ravi was nice, accomodating and informative.

Ravo did a fine job and we were very satisfied with his services. I would rate it five stars out of five possible. We enjoyed both the drive out to the Lemur rehab place and observing the lemurs themselves. After lunch, we also had a chance to see the queen's royal palace and a stop at a very large market. Both he and the driver were very courteous and helpful.

My your guide was Rav. I cannot imagine a better way to utilize a day in Tana than by allowing Rav to walk with you through the town he has known and loved for many years. I wasn't interested in animals or tree,. I wanted to learn the culture. We saw markets, the palace on the hill, ate at a Malagasy restaurant...could not have been better constructed. Don't wander around like a tourist...get Rav to teach you all about his Tana!

Ravo did a terrific job tailoring an enjoyable city tour to my personal interests. His knowledge of Madagascar history is excellent, and he gave me a great opportunity to experience the "life of a local" through traditional food and interesting street markets. Highly recommended!
