Very good. - The company's staff was punctual, attentive and helpful.
Both the guide Enoch and the driver John were helpful, even with our difficulty trying to speak simple words in Amharic.

Customized Experience - Our guide Henok was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and clearly loved the people and places he shared with us during our short layover visit. We had less time than most people who book this tour and yet we managed to get everything in and still get back to the airport with enough time to not be stressed about it, including a special request to try the local honey wine. So glad we were able to get a brief introduction to Ethiopia with our little time there!
