Simien Trekking tours

.We (5people) did the 10days tour about a few days ago, and we were really happy with how everything went. The tour was very well organized and covered all expenses including entrance fees for all sights, food and non-alcoholic drinks. There was basically no need to buy anything except for souvenirs. After a warm welcome at the airport in Addis Ababa, we were taken to our hotel by our driver and the local guide and did a nice tour around the city center of Addis Ababa. Overall, the guide was very flexible and whenever we asked for something, for instance going for a short walk at the Merkato, the guide would make it possible. Our next destination was Axum that we reached by plane. The plane tickets had also been organized by simien Yigzaw tours in advance and we were picked up by our driver in the morning to go to the airport. When we reached Axum, a new local guide and driver were already waiting for us and we were taken to our next hotel. Everything went smoothly and we had a great time in Axum visiting the famous steles. The following destinations included (among other places) Lalibela, Simien mountain, Gondar, Bahir Dar and Lake Tana. Everything was very well organized at all these places, we were always welcomed by a local guide and driver and were accompanied wherever we went. It was always very important to the guides that we were happy and they even suggested an evening program (going to local bars and restaurants to eat traditional food and see traditional dancing) at different places. They took us there, the guides stayed with us and we were then back to our hotels afterwards. This was very nice as we did not need to walk on the streets alone in the dark. moOverall, we can strongly recommend Yigzaw tours and the program of the 10day tour. We had a very interesting time in Ethiopia.
