I have worked in tourism in my country since 1993 as a tour guide. I love my country, Madagascar. I love public relations. I love nature. I love people. I love trips, these passions are what makes me good at my job. Thomas Peters said: "Success at work depends on passion". I do my job with enthusiasm and I really appreciate the mutual trust and a bit dose of humor. "Love blesses the one who receives it, and love blesses you, the giver" -said Barbara de Angelis. For nature lovers, Madagascar is a wonderland of opportunity. It is the kingdom of lemurs, the kingdom of baobabs and the kingdom of chameleons. I am especially capable of providing top-quality multi-day tours. Please inquire with me for a customized itinerary for extended explorations of Madagascar! This land awaits your arrival with great anticipation! My tour guide license delivered by the State of Madagascar is N° 042/03 - MINTOUR/SG/DG/DADI. I have seen and I know all touristic areas in Madagascar (classical tours, trekking tours, adventurous tours, etc.). I have a Diploma Degree delivered by « Institut National du Tourisme et de l'Hôtellerie - Madagascar » in June 1993. I started working in tourism just after. I am not a driver, we will take a driver with us. National Parks and Private Reserves have their own local guides, we have to take them obligatory.

Our tour of Tana with Ravo was outstanding. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to see the Lemurs and the market in Tana. Wow. The next day we went to the Queen's Palace in Blue Hill, which was fascinating. Ravo knows all the history and answered a ton of our questions, which we appreciated. Highly recommended!

Ravo was excellent from the moment we started booking our Madagascar trip until he dropped us off at the airport in Tana. He was prompt with his emails while we were trying to book the trip and was attentive, informative, funny and kind while we were travelling. We jam packed a lot of travel for 2 weeks but he was able to set up an itinerary and take care of our needs without any issues. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and were enthralled with the culture and beauty of Madagascar, all thanks to Ravo.

Ravo is an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. Added to his extremely friendly and easy going personality it makes for the best experience. He had a well prepared plan for my trip and didn't mind to modify by my last minute request. Very punctual and professional, he will make sure that you have nothing to think about, but to enjoy your trip and adventure. He made sure that I will see all major attractions within the geographical range my time could cover and of course the budget I had. Thank you!

Wow! What an amazing experience. We were greeted at the airport, before heading off to Andasibe, where we stayed for for 2 nights. Our first day was spent with our Tours By Locals tour guide, Ravo, and a local who guided us around the forest in search for wild lemurs. Our tour was successful, within 10 minutes of the trek we had spotted our first group, and saw many more throughout the day. The private lemur park was also amazing. Ravo was friendly, informative and we always felt safe. Highly recommend!

Madagascar airlines continually changed times and even days but Ravo did an excellent job of correcting for this. My main negative is that Ravo could have done a better job of making sure we had cash, as we were under the impression we could pay for hotels by visa, which we couldn't. Fortunately we happened to have enough, but we could easily have been without enough to pay for the hotel. That is why I gave 4 stars not 5.
