Lake Bishaituu they get on time tonpicked me up to my hotel. Good visit. Nice place, boat ride offered.
Had a great day with Reta - he arrived on time, drove responsibly, told about landscape, country and history. What an amazing day with him to visit Debre Lebanos monastry. Thank you!!!
Took the Addis Ababa city tour from On The Go Ethiopia Tours. Kenaw is a very knowledgeable guy showing us around Addis Ababa and surroundings. Really a great guide who knew where to go. One of the highlights was a visit to one of the two...
Kenaw Ayalew is authentic as it gets. He was so insightful, answered all of our questions and continued to discuss how he grew up in Ethiopia. 10/10 would recommend.
I did Bisheftu & Wanchi tours. The tour guides were very helpful & friendly. I enjoyed the tour with "On the Go Ethiopia Tours". They have professional driver as well. Moreover, I found the price was good for me.
