    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.

    This was a once a lifetime experience - exploring parts of Madagascar with its fascinating fauna and flora! Our guide Vivi was very knowledgable and very eloquently smooth over any hitches that appeared. I particularly liked the day and night forest hikes and am completely bowled over by the lemurs in all their variety and splendour!
