Discover Madagascar through the eyes of those who call it home.
Born from a shared passion for travel, people, and the extraordinary diversity of Madagascar, Expérience Madagascar Tour was founded in 2026 by a couple whose lives have been shaped by more than 20 years in the tourism industry.
Although our company is young, our experience runs deep. Over the years, working as a tour guide and tourism driver across the island has allowed us to meet people from different backgrounds, discover remarkable places, and build lasting connections. These encounters have inspired us to create something of our own: a travel experience that goes beyond sightseeing and brings you closer to the heart of Madagascar.
Two journeys, one shared passion
Tolo and Claudia – the couple behind Expérience Madagascar Tour
His story — The road is his home
With more than 20 years of experience behind the wheel, he knows Madagascar’s roads, landscapes, and hidden corners like few others. His journey began with established tour operators, where he developed an extensive knowledge of the island and learned the importance of safe, reliable, and comfortable travel. Enthusiastic, skilled, and friendly, he believes that a great journey is about more than reaching a destination — it is about enjoying every kilometre along the way.
Driven by his entrepreneurial spirit, he later began renting vehicles and gradually built his own small fleet. Today, he brings together professional driving experience, practical knowledge of local conditions, and a genuine passion for helping travellers explore Madagascar with confidence.
Her story — A lifelong curiosity for culture
Her love for discovery began in childhood, during almost-weekly walks around Antananarivo with her parents. Exploring the capital’s streets, architecture, and everyday life awakened a fascination with the stories behind places and the people who bring them to life.
Over time, this curiosity grew through tourism studies, professional training, personal research, fieldwork, and road trips with family and friends. After university, she led her first group, beginning a guiding career that now spans more than 18 years. With a degree in tourism and certifications in urban guiding and ecotourism, she loves sharing her knowledge of Malagasy culture, wildlife, architecture, and traditions.
Guided by the Malagasy spirit of moramora — taking the time to appreciate life at its own pace — she believes that the most memorable discoveries often happen when we slow down, listen, and connect.
Our philosophy — Travel that brings us closer
At Expérience Madagascar Tour, we believe that travel is not simply about visiting places or ticking destinations off a list. It is about the people we meet, the stories we hear, the cultures we discover, and the moments we share.
We create immersive journeys that encourage meaningful connections with local communities and a deeper understanding of Malagasy life. Whether exploring vibrant towns, travelling along the western coast, discovering remote landscapes, or sharing everyday moments with local people, we invite you to experience Madagascar beyond the familiar postcard images.
Our approach is personal, authentic, and rooted in respect for local cultures and the places we visit. We want every journey to feel less like being a tourist and more like discovering Madagascar alongside people who know and love it.
Come as a traveller. Leave with a connection.
From the lively streets of Antananarivo to the sunlit landscapes of the west and the island’s beautiful coastline, we look forward to sharing our Madagascar with you — its remarkable places, its rich heritage, its warm hospitality, and the stories that make it unique.
Expérience Madagascar Tour — More than a journey, a human connection.
