Great company to use for exploring Ethiopia - We’ve used Aspire Ethiopia for our 13D12N tour in Ethiopia, visiting Lalibela, Mekele, Danakil Depression, Erta Ale, and Omo Valley region from end Sep to 9 Oct. Gashaw is great and very responsive to all our questions before we finalised our trip. He is flexible with changes and also helped us check with Ethiopian Airlines couple of times due to several changes made by the airline. Would definitely recommend others who are keen to explore Ethiopia to use this company.

So much love for Ethiopia! - Gashaw was incredible! so helpful, and accommodating of us! (ok we're not high maintenance, but still!) he took us to some incredible spots, and every guide and stay / bookings he'd made were incredible! Thanks to him, our experience in Ethiopia was so so wonderful. We'll carry those memories forever!

Beautiful experience. Would highly recommend Aspire Ethiopia Tours - Gashaw is one of the best ever guides that one could have to travel through Ethiopia. Always friendly, always helpful, always listening to your queries and always ensuring that you have the best time while visiting this country. My journey started from Addis Ababa and then I took the Northern Historical tour of Ethiopia covering Bahir Dar, Gondar, Semien Mountains & Lalibela. It was a beautiful experience with the weather being cool and nice in all the places. Would recommend Lalibela (specially) to anyone interested in history with the scenery of a dreamland along with the stunning beauty of the rock hewn churches. I met some of the most kindhearted people in my life during this trip. Also, huge thanks to Tila and Tege (my guides in Gondar & Lalibela respectively). You guys made this trip beautiful. Thank you again to Gashaw and Aspire Ethiopia Tours for this great experience. Would highly recommend them for anyone visiting Ethiopia and i would definitely visit again.

Wonderful customized two weeks around Ethiopia - I spent a wonderful two-week vacation in Ethiopia thanks to Gashaw and the Aspire team. Before my trip, I contacted Gashaw via Whatsapp, and he was responsive and helpful in answering every question I had, like safety, currency exchange, and SIM card. Gashaw was also good in customizing itineraries: I planned to visit 6 places around Ethiopia in two weeks, which was a hard task, but Gashaw pulled it off flawlessly. He managed all 9 domestic flights I took, and sent me the digital boarding pass before each one, to save me from the lone lines in the airports, which was super helpful. Not to mention that every time I come back to Addis Ababa, he took me to awesome venues showcasing Ethiopian food, music and dance, which made my trip that much more memorable. I was so lucky I found Gashaw and the Aspire team for my trip. I wholeheartedly recommend Aspire to plan and customize your next trip to Ethiopia!

Gashaw, the best guide we could have asked for! - We visited Ethiopia as a group of 10 people and selected Aspire Ethiopia Tours to tour across Ethiopia - Ono valley and Danakil region. And what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be! The experiences were so unique, it was like no other. From seeing the ethnic tribes of Ethiopia to seeing a volcano start to erupt in front of our eyes, from sleeping under the stars in the open to dancing to local beats in Addis Ababa, it was absolutely lovely. And to add cherry on top, our guide Gashaw was an absolutely adorable person full of humour. Will never forget how we all enjoyed with him the Ethiopian local cuisine and danced our heart out. He even handed us gifts like customised bracelets, local coffee and sweet hugs. Everything made the trip so memorable that we can’t recommend his services enough. More power to him!

Raw and beautiful Ethiopia - Had the best experience with Aspire Ethiopia Tours (Gashaw, Solomon and team) Very helpful and friendly. We did Omo Valley, Danakil Depression and Addis Ababa tour. They went out of their way to make sure, we had the best time. I would highly recommend to see Ethiopia with them :)

Trip of a lifetime to Lalibela - Trip of a lifetime to Lalibela with an amazing tour guide supplied by Aspire Tours. Highly recommend. Just make sure you have a remote charger and torch in case the electricity goes off for a few hours. The guide was incredible and we had a private driver. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend for deep insights into Ethiopian culture and nature - I had wonderful 8 days with Aspire Ethiopia. Gashaw and his team offer excellent and customised services. The tour was perfectly organised and the guides were very knowledgeable and nice people to spend time with. Highly recommended for a deep and safe exploration of the beautiful nature and the fascinating cultures of Ethiopia!

The Grand Tour of Ethiopia - Though Gashaw and Aspire Ethiopia Tours, I completed a 1 month tour of Ethiopia taking in the best the country has on offer.From the planning stage early on,Gashaw organised my trip of a lifetime professionally and was always on offer to answer any questions I had. When we met at Addis International Airport I new straight away that I had met a very humble gentle and intelligent guide/travel agent. We had an interesting city tour of Addis (recommended) his spoken and written command of English is excellent Gashaw is also full of knowledge and insight in all things Ethiopian and the world Gashaw and Aspire Ethiopia Tours organised my whole 1 month exploring Ethiopia, organising my domestic flights,hotel accommodation and local guides Ethiopia is the most unique country in Africa,interesting, beautiful and fascinating, the country needs the tourists back and this Gem of a place is waiting for you!. Gashaw and Aspire Ethiopia Tours are the best small tour operator in the whole country fantastic for tailor-made itineraries I will be considering returning next year through Gashaw and Aspire I now consider him a true friend. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime

Fantastic Experience - I wanted to visit Ethiopia to experience the outstanding natural beauty of the more remote regions. We were a group of 3 with very specific requirements and a tight timescale to work to. Our itinerary included the Danakil depression, Erta Ale volcano and the Lalibela region. Aspire contacted me immediately after I submitted my enquiry and created a personalized itinerary which exactly met our requirements. All tour guides were first rate. There are many stories in the media regarding conflicts in Ethiopia. I can confirm that the country is very safe to visit and security is given top priority.
