Wonderful experience. Nirina did a great job, discussing our travel preferences and putting together an itinerary perfect for us (3 families with 4 kids from 5 to 9 years old). Nirina' team guided US across the country and we loved everything: accommodations, service, food, local guides and activities. We felt safe all the time.Our guide, Hasina, was the best! Always friendly, patient with Kids, professional and very punctual. We have been lucky to have them as tour operators!!
A wonderful experience. Nirina, the owner, won us over immediately with her courtesy and her responses to our emails: always precise and very detailed. His team, made up of 5 people, accompanied us during the trip and made us feel safe and pampered: excellent choice of facilities, excellent activities and excellent local guides. Hasina, our guide, deserves special applause for her patience with the children (4 children aged 5 to 9), for her professionalism and punctuality! We never had any major unexpected events and when any inconvenience arose, Hasina was already ready with the solution. He made us know and appreciate the beauty of his country and his people!! Thank you

We are a French couple who decided to take an 18-day trip to discover Madagascar.
Accustomed to traveling individually, we chose, this time, to go through the local tourism agency, Madagascar Circuits Tours, to make our journey.
After a few discussions and modifications to the circuit that we had proposed, we very quickly validated the proposals made by Helinirina, boss of the tour operator, to whom we had left it to offer us the hotels at each stage.
A very successful trip in all respects.
All logistical constraints being the responsibility of the agency team, we were able to take full advantage of all the assets of this magnificent island.
A big thank you to the entire agency team who were at our service during the trip, while remaining very discreet.
A special thank you to Princie our guide who is full of history about his country, thanks to Raoul our great driver who transported us safely and to Stéphane our outstanding cook who delighted us during the descent of the Tsiribihina.
Following our trip without any hitch, we can only highly recommend this very professional agency that is Madagascar Circuits Tours.

Wonderful trip, we discovered an endearing island that is still quite wild, beautiful landscapes and welcoming and always smiling inhabitants. We were guided and very well accompanied at all times on this beautiful journey by our driver Raul and our guide Princie. We highly recommend MCT and Nirina, her boss, who were able to respond at all times to our expectations and requests during the trip. A big thank you to them!

We just spent an 18 day road trip with this company and could not of been more happy! It was just PERFECT in every way
From the initial contact to hellrina, he was professional and timely and sent an itinerary quickly for what we were looking for. We upgraded our rooms (highly recommend doing this ). We also added some internal flights which helped cut down on driving time which was very helpful
I was nervous about sending over a wire bank transfer for the deposit but hellrina has good reviews for a reason and he was trustworthy in all accounts so don’t worry about this part
The first section of our trip we had petty and Lorencia. Both spoke great English and petty was a very safe driver. They had a wonderful balance of being there for our every need but also giving us space to spend time alone during meals etc
After 4 days we flew to our second part of the trip and were with Hassin (guide) and sulufo (driver). I have worked in hospitality for over 20 years and I mean it when I say that I have never felt so taken care of by these two guys. They kept us safe comfortable and engaged for 14 days! Hassin was always there for me to make sure I wouldn’t trip or fall on some hard spots (I have some mobility issues). I thought he was very caring and I appreciated it! Sulufo is a great driver and on these crazy roads you need someone who is alert and can defensively drive in a safe way. I thought he did this superbly .Make sure to request this fantastic duo
Madagascar is incredible and hard all at once. I do not recommend trying to do it on your own. It’s much safer with guides and a lot less headache. Rest assured if you book with hellrina you will be happy and satisfied! I think gadventure , intrepid and National Geographic overcharge. We did a much better itinerary and when we did see these groups, we were at the same hotels etc. you are just paying for a brand and hardly any of the money goes to madagascar. I recommend booking with a local operator like hellrina. He quoted a very fair price . Feel free to message me if you ever have more questions on specifics.
Make sure you include the visit to the village where you spend the night. It’s a hard hike but was an amazing life changing experience
Thank you hellrina for making our bucket list dream come true and for keeping us safe and happy

Everything was so wonderfully arranged by Nirina and team. Our guide Laurencia was knowledgeable and considerate of our needs. The trip was beautiful and Nirina's time estimates for getting from one location to another were spot on, not easy to figure out given some of the slow traffic and roads. Madagascar has been on our list for many years and Nirina and team helped that materialize in the best way. thank you!

We booked with Helinirina Raharomanana because we liked the great reviews, he was very professional and very quick to respond to all my emails. We were met at the airport by Naina ( tour guide) and Petit (driver). They are lovely young men who looked after us perfectly from start to finish. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone considering booking with the company. We’re from the UK and well over pensioner age, Petit is an exceptional driver and we felt completely safe all the time. Naina makes sure everything runs smoothly, they were a joy to travel with. We wanted to see Lemurs and that’s what we got, couldn’t be happier. Thank you to both of you.

Remaining 10 days in Tana, I asked Nirina for a proposal for a 2-day outing at the last minute. Very responsive, he offered me a 2-day tour of Andasibe National Park. Very complete tour, very well organized with passionate guides, I highly recommend Nirina's services

After a detailed comparison of several agencies in Madagascar, we chose Nirina for our trip. And we did well! He is very serious and professional, he did everything to offer us the best possible service. The circuits are very well designed, and we were able to adapt the circuit to what you wanted to do. The driver and guide who accompanied us during the trip was quality, and very interesting, with impeccable conduct. We learned a lot, and we were amazed. We benefited from Nirina's wise advice throughout our trip. Thanks to Nirina, we had a wonderful vacation, where we were able to completely disconnect.

Despite the roughness of Malagasy roads, the change in climate and landscape is permanent. The population in general and our driver guide in particular were absolutely charming and always ready to make our stay as pleasant as possible.
We arrived in Antanarivo to join the start of our descent of the Tsiribihina river. Then we went to see the Tsingy wonder of stone cliffs (you don't have to be afraid of heights!). then head towards Allée des Baobabs. Finally we went to see the Pangalanes canal. All this was sprinkled with a number of park visits to see many lemurs.
Truly an unforgettable trip!

A wonderful trip, with the security of a well organized agency.
We were 3 families used to travel with our young children from 8 to 5 years old. With the MCT team we have always felt safe and pampered.

Hello, I'm a girl. I travel all alone, I would like to go on a tour of Madagascar. Visit the most important island of lemurs, and the protected areas where they live. I want to visit a place where baobabs grow, climb along Tsingi and villages with local people. I love to visit colorful places. I will not be able to find the second fellow traveler, since there are few people wishing to do this. I would like to go in early August. Ideally, travel around Madagascar 7-9 days. What program and price is possible for me? I'm going to fly to Madagascar in early August. To me the main thing is that they would take me everywhere, and the language does not matter, since I know English badly, but nevertheless I travel without it without problems. So the guide is optional. After all, the driver can take me everywhere and drive without a guide? I want a program that would be to see and communicate personally as possible with a large number of animals. I want to closely communicate with lemurs, go to Mondorava to baobabs and climb along the rocks of Tsingi. I'm not interested in museums and factories. Only nature and
animals are interested. I want to see everything only the most interesting. Interesting colorful tribes. What route is possible by my request from 7 to 10 days? And what will be the price if I take only the driver?

Hi,
I’m planning a trip in Madagascar. I’m flying to Tana on Sunday and would like to see some nature parks while in the area. I’m a solo traveler so effectively I am looking to either join an existing tour or perhaps I will have to do it on my own. Do you like excursions to nature parks in the region. I would be grateful if you could inform me about the itinerary and the full cost and what is included in it.
Many thanks,
Paulina
