Knowledgeable, Friendly and Passionate

It was my first time visiting Addis Ababa. I'm glad Mehammed was our guide. His explanation of Ethiopia's history was well organized and easy to understand even for someone like me who is not a native English speaker. He is proud of his homeland of Ethiopia and his work as a guide. This is important. I would recommend him as a guide to anyone visiting Ethiopi

Mehammed Y.

Thank you so much for traveling with me and for taking time to recommend me.

Beautiful walk through impressive landscapes

Blue Nile gorge, Jemma valley and Portuguese bridge are absolutely amazing places of fantastic beauty. If you are in Ethiopia for only one day it is for sure the must-visit place. It would give a lot of unforgettable memories (and photos) to those who prefer walking in nature over city sightseeing. Our guide Demeke was very friendly, punctual, respectable guy with perfect English and a huge amount of knowledge regarding the tour. Highly recommended, 10/10
