Lake Assal and volcanoes ... - I went with my son on an excursion to visit Lake Assal with the Massigo Travel group. The guide Mohamed and his boss Mussa were really nice and helpful. They know very well the places to visit as well as the local people. Mohamed even stopped so that we could take pictures with camels, baboons and volcanic caves that we needed to know. Lake Assal was really beautiful as well as the hot spring. We stopped to eat by the sea and visited several beautiful places with beautiful local stories told by our guide. We were able to buy small souvenirs en route. We have not seen the past time and strongly recommend Lake Assal with the Massimo Travel conpagnia. Very good memories with beautiful photos.

Great Guide to Djibouti - I booked a trip following much research, and Moussa was clearly the most positively reviewed guide I could find!. Although my tour itself was not directly with Moussa (although i did meet him), the guides he arranged were very helpful and made i trip painless. I spent two days in Djibouti and everything went to plan. If you want a smoothly organised trip reach out to Moussa :)

Great tour made even better by our tour guide - Amazing tour. Guide Moosa was brilliant. He was knowledgeable, friendly. high energy, and great to see Djibouti around. We saw all the key sites and also had a fun picnic lunch. This day was the best part of our trip. Lowest point is Africa and the lava fields with the tectonic plate shift is must visit. And definitely see it with Moosa as he will make the trip highly memorable.

Reliable company - Mussa managed a great day for us. Not limited to the standard but also taking us off road to show lava tunnels and other interesting sights. The day was complete with a boat trip from Tadjoura to La Plage des Sables Blancs. No doubt, a great choice.

Average excursion - My guide was a young man in his 20s who spoke intermediate-level English. My questions had to be repeated constantly and he usually understood me with repetition, but it made for slow communication. Very little detail was provided about Djibouti, the geological conditions of Lac Assal or the Rift Valley, or anything else, which was a bit disappointing . I had a pleasant drive with a pleasant guide and driver, but if you seek a true tour, this may not meet your expectations.

I do not recommend - Jestem podróżnikiem. Odwiedziłem prawie 90 krajów na świecie. Nigdy nie widziałem tak nieprofesjonalnej osoby. Człowiek leniwy, z zaburzeniami, wulgarny. Ten "przewodnik" zamiast pokazać nam miasto poszedł jeść dając nam kilka porad na co powinniśmy uważać na mieście. Przez cały okres był bardzo niemiły i wredny, nie miał elementarnej wiedzy względem tego co robić. Narzekał na innych turystów i ich obrażał. Jestem zażenowany, że spotkałem tego człowieka. Omijajcie szerokim łukiem. I am a traveler. I have visited almost 90 countries in the world. I have never seen such an unprofessional person. A lazy, disordered, vulgar person. This "guide" instead of showing us the city went to eat giving us some advice on what to watch out for in the city. Throughout the entire period he was very rude and mean, he did not have basic knowledge of what to do. He complained about other tourists and insulted them. I am embarrassed that I met this man. Give him a wide berth.
