点评:It took a couple of years to plan out this trip and the guide I was working with was killed right before I was able to complete booking the trip. At the last minute local friends recommended Joce (they had traveled with him twice around Madagascar). I sent Joce my itenerary and he made a few adjustments due to roads being destroyed after the last heavy rainfall during the rainy season. He also down graded a few hotels ( which turned out to be not great). Joce is a wonderful man and is able to get the hotels and day tours, local guides, drivers etc lined up successfully, however he is very limited in speaking and understanding English which left many questions unanswered, especially traveling through the villages between destinations. He also was not good at sharing information so we always had to try to ask him what to expect next. Another mistake on my part was not to ask if the vehicle and hotels had AC. Along the coast it was very hot and dusty. Often the hotels had periods of time with no water and no electricity. Many of the day trip guides in the National Parks were outstanding. I highly recommend visiting Madagascar, but prepare for long difficult roads with very few toilets in between. I know many tours fly between several destinations. I chose not to spend time in airports, but to see as much of the country as I could. I'm happy to say Joce came through with getting this accomplished. Thank you, Joce.
翻译:这次旅行花了几年时间才计划好,而我合作的导游在我完成行程预订之前就被杀了。在最后一刻,当地的朋友推荐了 Joce(他们曾两次和他一起游览马达加斯加)。我把我的行程发给了 Joce,他做了一些调整,因为上次雨季的大雨毁坏了道路。他还降低了几家酒店的评级(结果并不好)。Joce 是个很棒的人,他能成功地安排好酒店和一日游、当地导游、司机等,但他的英语水平非常有限,这让我们有很多问题没有得到解答,尤其是在目的地之间穿过村庄的时候。他也不擅长分享信息,所以我们总是不得不试着问他接下来会发生什么。我的另一个错误是没有问车辆和酒店是否有空调。沿海地区非常炎热和尘土飞扬。酒店经常有一段时间没有水和电。国家公园的许多一日游导游都很出色。我强烈推荐去马达加斯加,但要做好长途跋涉、途中厕所很少的准备。我知道很多旅行团都是在几个目的地之间飞行。我选择不花时间在机场,而是尽可能多地游览这个国家。我很高兴乔斯完成了这个任务。谢谢你,乔斯。
