Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Arrive Antananarivo, Madagascar
Isolated from the African mainland for millions of years, Madagascar witnessed one of the world's most colorful evolutionary explosions, yielding unique flora and fauna that never fail to dazzle visitors. Madagascar's capital, founded around 1610, witnessed the reigns of many kingdoms and was once a hub for Indian Ocean trade. Today, in addition to being home to members of all 18 Malagasy ethnic groups as well as residents with Indonesian, Indian and European origins, "Tana" serves as a welcoming gateway for visitors to this unique island paradise brimming with natural wonders. Settle into your waterfront hotel ahead of the exciting adventures that await you.
