We very much enjoyed our trips and tourism with Beki, all explanations about Ethiopia, its history and culture. Particularly interesting it was to visit villages, houses and families, discuss about their daily lives and cook with them! Thanks a lot for taking and sharing many pictures with us.

We had an exceptional day organized by Beki. This was our second tour with him and just with the first one, he went above and beyond to make our day another cultural experience. However, he was not able to guide the tour, Beki arranged one of his friends to chaperone us. The landscape we drive through, the hospitality of the monk at the monastery , his knowledge and willingness to share it with us, the history of the bridge, the stunning waterfall, the great lunch in the nature- left us saying-IT WAS A GREAT DAY with a lot of new impression, learning and experience. If a13 y.o. says- we saw beautiful things today -, you know you made the right decision to go with Beki !Beki is very professional and caring. He makes sure everything is taken care of and you can fully enjoy your experience. We had a great time with our family. Thank you
