Possibility of an English guide, although sometimes we had to make some effort to understand each other. He happily told us about Madagascar and took amazing care of us. We felt very safe and well informed. We got plenty of time on Nosy Iranja, a local lunch and the opportunity to visit the local vendors and two view points over the beautiful beach. The boat trip is relatively long, one-way 1 hour and 40 minutes, which can be good to know. But it went well! A recommendation might be to photograph the beach after lunch, as there were significantly fewer tourists there then.

I really enjoyed my Antananarivo walking with Nelson. He has a great knowledge of the city and we visited many interesting places including the market which was fascinating. Nelson shared lots of information about the history and culture of Madagascar and also the food which I was particularly interested in. He was polite and thoughtful and it was a pleasure to spend time with him exploring the city

We were extremely lucky to get Viviane as our guide. She was so helpful and knowledgeable and friendly. She really helped us to sort out money exchange and getting bus tickets before heading off on our adventure around the city. Very informative. She knew about the city and the country as a whole.

We liked all the information about the culture which is not written in a guide book. The walk was very pleasant and our guide took us to some new places snd the ones we wanted to see. So it was a great mix. Thank you Lanto!

Very comprehensive and informative. Nelson ensured we saw everything of importance
