I booked a mobile massage therapist through MadaAssist. I was sceptical, but the process was easy, price was determined up front. The massage was good, and I was impressed that they were able to arrange someone on a Sunday, at my requested time, in a small town like Toliara.

Great service overall -- even at the last minute (less than an hour from booking to the driver's arrival for a half-day excursion)!
