We were a group of three friends on an organised 4-day tour of Asmara and Massawa. Phil, our main tour guide, was incredibly helpful and considerate of all our needs throughout the tour, going above and beyond our expectations. We managed to do a huge variety of activities, from watching the national cycling tournament in Eritrea to visiting all the top sights in Asmara to cycling around Massawa at sunrise. On top of that, Phil is just a very friendly, open and stand-up tour guide who we felt very safe and comfortable with throughout the tour. Would highly recommend this tour company as well as the visit to Asmara and Massawa itself!

I had a wonderful time in Asmara. This country represented one of the most pleasant surprises I’ve had in all my years of traveling. Behind the veil that Eritrea exists in are some of the most friendly, beautiful, and compassionate people in Africa. The city itself is a marvel of untouched splendor just waiting to be explored. Simon and Phil were terrific guides and I think you should want to go and check out the country if you thought you’ve seen everything in the world.

Just wow. Phil was absolutely incredible and arranging tours for me of both Asmara and Massawa. Not only were the tours great, but Phil made a huge effort to get permits for me during a holiday in Eritrea. I wouldn’t have had nearly as good of an experience without his help. Make sure to ask for Efrem as your driver. He is a very kind and professional person that also enriched my Eritrean experience.
