Wonderful Trip to the Church built from a Rock and countryside education - Amazing - Absolutely wonderful experience. The guide, Gebu, was extremely knowledgeable. . Gebu made sure I was comfortable, we had wonderful conversation about the country, he was very smart, and the driver did an excellent job. Seeing the sites was a real education.

An eye-opening trip into the Ethiopian countryside - Friendly, very considerate driver and tour guide. 2 rare historical sites. Long drive overall, providing some interesting insights into the countryside and rural livelihoods and lifestyle of Ethiopians outside the capital. All-inclusive service included water, snack and lunch.

Very recommended tour with Biruk and Geta - The tour was amazing. Our guide, Biruk, and our driver, Geta, were amazing all the time. They took us to all the places described on the tour and they even stopped at any place we wanted to stop and take pictures. They are also kind and well know off the area. I would recommend this tour.

Life Outside of Your Own - It was eye awakening! First of all, Kiros was an amazing driver. Our tour guides were all amazing and Deme took us on an awesome tour. Experiencing a day in Adadi Mariyam, Tiya and best of all the Melka Kunture was a once in a lifetime experience. We got to see a world outside of Addis. I would say to anyone visiting Addis go on this tour and see and experience life outside of your own. Great tour overall!

Disappointed with vehicle used for the tour. - The tour was good but the vehicle used was run down and not air conditioned as promised hence we suffered through the heat and dust on the trip. We even had a flight tire which was fixed while we waited in the vehicle.
