  We discovered Madagascar and its beauty for the first time, spending 10 days there. During this adventure, HT Agency Tour accompanied us from start to finish. Everything was well organized. You can see their professionalism and seriousness. We chose a more classic tour, and it was an unforgettable experience. We were met at the airport by the team from the hotel where we were to spend 48 hours in quarantine in Antananarivo, the country's capital. Once out, our guide came to meet us at the hotel, and that's where the adventure began. We started visiting the cultural and historical sites in the surrounding area. Next, we went to Andasibe, where primary forests can still be seen, with a variety of plants dominating the circuit. Many birds, amphibians and lemurs can be seen here. After Andasibe, the adventure continues to Antsirabe, Ranomafana, Ambalavao, Isalo and finally Tuléar. Everything went according to plan. Of course, we'll be going back, as there's so much to discover. The driver was very attentive and helpful. We have no hesitation in recommending this agency.

  We are a German couple, our experience with HT has been amazing. We had a 10 days trip recommended by our friend who has been working in Madagascar for a few years. 3 months before our departure, we contacted him to find out about Madagascar because he knows the country more or less. And off the circuit, he highly recommended HT Agency Tours for the organization as he is familiar with car hire with the company. The only annoying thing was the 2 nights quarantine, but we have been warned by the agency. Toky, our driver/guide picked us up from the hotel and we started our journey. He is knowledgeable and drives safely despite the road conditions. He really paid attention to every detail of the itinerary and to our expectations. Including in our package they provided 2 SIM cards. Of course, the network was bad on some parts of our route, but we felt safe throughout the trip. Our friend was right with their services so we highly recommend them too. Thank you Toky for this beautiful trip! (Tobi and Marlene)

  We were travelling in group to Madagascar for a fabulous discovery. A good part of the East began the adventure then over the national road to the South. The organization was impeccable, but above all followed by online assistance at any time from Garcihel who was our contact from the agency, this really stood out. It was our second booking with this agency and this is what prompted us to write and share our experience because since our trip to Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda organized by HT, everything has been perfect; good guide, good car, good organization. Part of the group decided to come back because we did not have the chance to discover the western part which also happens to be the pearl of Madagascar. Thank you to the whole team for a memorable trip. (Thomas Murray)

  We just barely returned from a wonderful trip in Madagascar and I miss everything, we had a pleasant experience with Toky our tour guide who made us live in-depth a malagasy immersion with several stories, the cultures of each tribe’s group and specifically the nature that make the country so special and authentic. Of corse our schedule was hectic and exhausting but he was always positive and found something to entertain us; to ensure that the group stays always happy and does not get bored throughout the long tiring bad roads. We had a chance to have him as guide. The program was well executed and organized, the hotels we stayed was perfect. Speaking of nature, madagascar is the best destination for us, I suppose everyone in the group has the same opinion. I speak on behalf of the group in highly recommending this tour company for anyone who dreams to discover this beautiful big island and choosing Toky as a guide, he went beyond. Thanks Toky, you made this tour memorable!!! Riemelt (US)

  Just had trip with this tour operator over dec 2021, it was amazing!!! We almost gave up and canceled our booking as our flight with air austral was delayed twice, but we did it smoothly. Madagascar is the 43rd country we visited, it was literally pleasant. We booked the classic tour program, unfortunately our arrival date, due to the delay, in addition the 48h quarantine at the hotel messed up completely the program, especially the domestic flight because seemingly there are only two flights a week that connect tulear and antananarivo which is supposed to be on the last day. The agency had to reorganize the tour by starting the program from the last point, we approved the idea as it suits to the domestic flight schedule. After being released from the quarantine we flew to tulear, it was so pleasant to start the journey with relaxing on the beach. We left tulear the next day and made the rest of the trip « mora mora », the first malagasy word we learned from our guide (Solofo). He was funny and knowledgeable; there was a lot of drives but we made it safely. Regarding the country, madagascar is a magnificent country, the landscape changes like every hour from one point to one another, the history, the culture, the fauna we were amazed. Also, we would be happy to share: PCR test is mandatory on arrival which costs 30USD, then the hotel we have booked for quarantine is the only allowed to be in charge of pick up at the airport. The quarantine is about 24 to 48hours, released after receiving negative test result. Before leaving the Madagascar, PCR test or Antigen test (a rapid test) is also obligatory but depending on the requirements of your country; this, until further notice. Hope that helps the future travelers. For us, everything was well organized by HT.
