Yonas was a great host, understanding what we were interested in, suggesting activities and taking good care of us. He speak excellent English, is easy to get on with and enthusiastically introduced us to local natural, culinary and cultural experiences we would otherwise have missed. He negotiated good deals for us in the craft market. He used a good quality appropriate vehicle. Nothing was too much trouble for him and everything was included within the fee. Recommended.
