I prebooked a taxi from an airport to city center. You start off by talking to a bot, but they quickly switch to a person who gives you a quotation in no time. Everything works smoothly. I'd recommend it and I will most likely use it again.

Excellent. Highly recommended. We communicated with Mada Assist for several weeks to plan our trip. We finally booked two 4WD vehicles with drivers through them: one for three days in Andasibe and another for ten days in Morondava, Tsingy, and Belo sur Mer. The drivers, Rojo and Louis, were excellent, efficient, yet very safe and punctual. The vehicles were in very good condition and cleaned daily. Truly a positive experience. I would use Mada Assist again without hesitation.

A large team means there's always someone available to answer your questions. They are helpful, attentive to your needs, and efficient in their procedures and research. They address your concerns with great kindness. I've been hunting in Madagascar for 45 years, every year, and will now use them for my future trips. I commend them wholeheartedly. Claude
