I recently fulfilled my Dream of visiting Ethiopia and glad I chose Yonas who was not only proffessional but has vast knowledgable and turned out to be a geat friend. Not sure what I wanted to see having googled lots of places, A good listener, Yonas went through my life interests' and matched them with excellent places of interest to visit despite my short stopver. Yonas is articulate, time conscious, makes you feel at ease and has a great command of English language. Above all I felt very safe and welcome.

We concluded my short stay with a memorable traditional and cultural dancing evening dinner. If you are thinking of a stopover no matter how short, or have a longer stay in Ethiopia, please do not get bored at the airport. I highly reccomend Yonas for a most memorable Addis/Ethiopian Experience.

I highly recommend Yonas as a tour guide in Ethiopia. During my last business trip to Addis Ababa, Yonas has been a great help to me. Not only was he able to helped us with communication with the locals, he also helped us arrange for our business visits and gave us the flexibility to alter our trip accordingly.

Yonas is willing to share his experience and knowledge with us during our trip. My colleague and I had the opportunity to know him on a personal level and we enjoyed his company during our trip. 

I highly recommend Yonas to be your guide in Ethiopia.

I highly recommend Yonas as a tour guide. He has a vast knowledge of Addis Ababa where I was for most of my stay in Ethiopia and Ethiopian culture in general. His tours are not limited to just Addis Ababa but throughout Ethiopia. He had also booked a Lalibela trip for me which was simply amazing. He gives you the flexibility to tailor your trip to fit your fancy, in turn you feel at ease in his presence and the tours seem more like spending time with a good friend than the typical rigid and impersonal guides that most are used to. If I wanted to go somewhere that was not on the agenda for the day, I had no problem changing it as he was OK with my decisions as long as at the end of the day I was happy. Not many guides will afford you the opportunity to do that. I can see why so many people are fond of him. He has a laid back attitude, yet very professional at the same time. I’ve also had the pleasure of knowing him on a personal basis and highly enjoyed my time in Addis meeting his wife, children and in-laws and can honestly say I have a friend in him and can’t wait to book my Southern Ethiopia tour with him next time. To anyone reading this review, please don’t be on the fence about booking Yonas for your tours in Ethiopia. You will not regret it. If cost is an issue, he will work with you to tailor the tours to what works best within your budget; Don’t let that be the determining factor in choosing him. You can still have a fantastic time and get to see the highlights without breaking the bank and Yonny as he is affectionately known, will ensure that you and he work on an itinerary that will be satisfactory for both. Enjoy your stay in Ethiopia and happy travels!

My family had Yonas Tiku as a guide when visiting Addis, Dire Dawa, and the beautiful, ancient walled-city (and UNESCO World Heritage site!) of Harar. Every part of the trip was well planned but flexible enough to allow specific individual interests to be included. Not only was he amazing, but he seems to have a good network established from his years of guiding, so uses top notch services (hotels, drivers, restaurants) when traveling around the country. Can't wait to return and have Yonas show us more of this beautiful country!!

My husband and I were fortunate to benefit from Yonas' expert guide services during our time in Ethiopia. He thoughtfully planned every aspect of our trip which was beyond our expectations - a beautiful blend of adventure, history, and relaxation. He seamlessly navigated us through the city attractions of Addis Ababa and Bahir Dar/Lake Tana and also to the indigenous Gumuz region. Yonas is a wonderful resource of Ethiopia's rich history and a professional who is extremely ethical and fair. He was a pleasant companion to have with us while we easily fell in love with the place and the people of Ethiopia. We still have much to see and will use Yonas Tiku for our next trip. Can't wait!
