Very nice experience - I spent 3 days in the mountains of Simiens with a small group that I had joined. Adem arranged everything for me very professionally. The Guide we were given was very kind and very accommodating. We went there in the rainy season and the first day we could not see anything in the mountain because of the fog, we asked to visit a village and he accepted directly, drove us there and explained everything about local life. The whole team was nice. At night you sleep in camp or you will eat excellent food and spend a moment by the fire with everyone. I could see the gelada monkeys, very beautiful views and enjoy the trek. I still recommend avoiding the rainy season for this excursion. Rain and fog can make the trek very unpleasant and you will not see as much. Thank you to the whole team!

GREAT EXPERENCE!! - I have traveled the world with my family to hike and explore the greatest eco-tourist destinations in the world, and I can say with 100% certainty that the North Ethiopian Tour Operator Company is by far best in class. First off, Adem is a great business man. All details of the tour were perfectly organized and executed. The personal interest that Adem and his team took in the satisfaction of the tour with my son and I was at a level I had not previously encountered. Our itinerary was carefully considered based upon the interests and levels of fitness of our group, and this ensured that no one in the group missed out on anything. The guide that Adem had assigned to our tour was a subject matter expert on the flora and fauna of the area. He paced our group perfectly- not too slow – not too fast - and made sure we missed out on nothing. The food was amazing. The professional cook on our tour served delious food every step of the way, with over generous portions. The staff had our comfortable tents and warm fresh sleeping bags set up at our campsites before we arrived in the evening. This put us in the position to not worry about any of the campsite details. We were able to enjoy the nature and our time with the group. The natural beauty of the Semien Mountains is well known and documented. Suffice it to say, this is world class natural beauty and wildlife, beyond your wildest dreams. Finally, we had a health emergency when we were into our tour, and had to cut our trip short. Immediately, Adem and his team arranged for transport off the mountain, and we were back in Gondar by the early afternoon of the same day. If you think this is an easy feat, guess again. Only because Adem has extensive business relationships built in the tourist community, was he able to with no problem get us off the mountain. Quickly and safely. In summary, when we return to Ethiopia – and we will for sure – We will only use North Ethiopian Tour Operator Company.

Truly amazing. Looking forward the next time - This was one of the best experiences of my entire life. North Ethiopian crew made sure that everything ran smoothly, taking best care of us. The hike just breathtaking. Food was good too. All of the members of the crew were the kindest human beings you can get. Thanks to them and their awesome company, this one became the highlight of our African trip. Looking forward to travelling with them again!

Great trekking experience - North Ethiopian assured best experience ever for my trekk in Simien mountains. They were taking best care of my at each stage of the experience. Adem is a great company for a tour, an honest and wholehearted individual while Jackson is a really experience mountain guide who knows virtually every single trail in Simien. They are really great party to trek with! Thanks North Ethiopian for the great experience!

Great experience! - Trekking around the Simien Mountains was the highlight of my trip to Ethiopia and Adem made it particularly special! He's a great guy and really knows his stuff and what's more he speaks great English which really made the difference. The trek was really well organised and the scenery on show was just incredible :O While he also organises tours to other parts of Ethiopia, I didn't have time to go on them but I'm sure he'd do just as good a job as in the Simiens. Thanks Adem!

Adem is great! - I travelled and trekked with Adem in Northern Ethiopia a few years ago, before he was a tour guide. He has a way of connecting very genuinely with people - straight from the heart to the heart. On top of that - he is a lot of fun and very knowledgeable... All of this combined with the natural and cultural beauty of Northern Ethiopia... Well - very recommended - you won't regret! 😎🇪🇹

Great man! - I met Adem almost 9 years ago when I spent some time as a medical student in Gondar. I met a lovely boy with a huge heart and lots of curiosity. Since then, yes already 9 years, even though I live far away from Ethiopia, we are in a regular contact. And yes- he still is a huge heart. Even though he could be my son :) , he is an inspiration for me. He is kind, caring, has a gift of knowing how to be with people. He is intelligent and archives his goals in life when he puts one in front of him. I truly believe that spending time with Adem as a tour guide will be a great (!) experience.

Great - We met Adem a long time ago when we visited Ethiopia. Even as a kid he was already a talented guide. Now that he is a certified tour guide I'm sure he has the best tours around. Adem is a very pleasant and loving person and it's a pleasure being around him. And he sure knows his way around. I recommend adem to anyone that wants a tour in Northern Ethiopia.

Great crew, except for the owner - The hike was great, but wouldn’t recommend it for the dry season. I can imagine it’s amazing after the rains. The crew was very helpful, the chef put in lots of effort and all my needs were taken care of. I would suggest that the guide do a safety briefing before the hike starts, cause that was not done. Adem was very attentive and helpful with getting me transport back to Gondar when I needed to go back a day early. Thanks Adem. The owner, not sure of his name but someone told me he was the owner, had a real nasty attitude with me when I told him I needed to leave a day early, and he really got on my nerves. Apart from him, everyone else was great. I would hope more money goes to the rest of the crew and not him!
