An experience in Addis Ababa more than incredible thanks to Sisay. We gave him a day to show us around the city and he dazzled us with his sense of organization as well as his knowledge of the city and its history.I can only applaud his professionalism! I hope to come back to visit the city for more time next time. Thank you again for your efforts and kindness! Thomas
The expedition was very well curated by guides that were not only well versed in history but also thrilled to share about their city and country. We covered quite a bit in the day, from the national musuem to the church and coffee roasters- with ending the day at a French cafe where we met other expats and locals that the guides introduced us to - im still in touch with some of the people I met! I would recommend very highly and without any reservation a tour by this company, and wish their guides the very best

I had a lot of funs. The guide is great and an excellent photographer 😅 he speaks very well English. I discovered a lot about Addis Ababa in such a short amount of time. I highly recommend.
I've known Sissy since 2016, and I've always learned something new and felt safe with him around. Sissy heart is always in the right place, and his experience with informing you about the history of his remarkable country is impressive. I've had the opportunity to develop a friendship that will last forever. Thank you again for such another unique opportunity.
