    Although the roads are sometimes terrible, the guide and driver were at their best do skip all potholes and full filing our requests on the way for changes to other hotels. We left some comments about a few things that could be different, but overall it was absolutely value for money and we had an excellent holiday.

    I enjoyed green island tours. Very professional and organized. Vivi in particular was so lovely. He was knowledgeable, fun and flexible. He took care of everything. The hotels selected were mostly ok, however the Feon’ny Ala could do with some work on the plumbing. It’s beautifully located and serves the most incredible fresh croissants. Our driver was excellent and we felt safe, even on some very dodgy stretches of road. The tour is well designed from start to finish.
