I'm happy to guide you on walks in the local area, or further on trekking trips. I offer 1day treks to Ashton mountain to see the geladas (open heart baboons) or Asheton Maryam to see the beautiful mountain church.
For those on a budget wishing to travel and sleep as the locals do, I help with language barriers and keeping costs minimal, furthermore I can organise cars, hotels etc in advance and make sure you see as much as possible within the time you have, on the budget you choose.
