“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
