Everyone with whom we interacted on the trip was excellent. All the tour coordinators, drivers, and tour guides were cordial, informative, and punctual.
One of the best tour I've ever done. Meeting new people and enjoying different activities. We drove to the Blue Niles falls and it was so beautiful and we took a bout trip on lake Tana and visited ancient and so historical monasteries found on the islands of the lake, it really was a great time we spent on the day trip.
