    Our tour with Sycamore was a personalized one. We visited Lalibela, Gondar, Simien mountains and Bahirdar. Haile made arrangements in all these locations making the tour seamless. The tour guides were great with the exception of the guide for Simien mountain who was good but had some language limitations. In all, our trip was a success and we loved every bit of it.

    Besides Lalibela, I did Addis, Axum and even Gondar. I absolutely LOVED my trip!!! With the guides' teaching, answering all questions, going off the written path, and patience, I felt like I was immersed in Ethiopian religion, politics and history. Some days I was overwhelmed with the amount of learning. This trip was 9 days, build in a rest day or two. The history goes back centuries!! Sometimes we would sit in the churches and talk history/politics/origins. Take notes, and yes sometimes I googled the information, the guides were accurate. And Ethiopia's fresh food😋🤤😋🤤😋🤤and yes, we could see the poverty in the villages, our guides were gracious enough to help us give 192 children notebooks, pen, pencils, eraser & candy, and that was one town, we did it again in the next!!! Thank you Haile at Sycamore Ethiopian Tours. 🇪🇹
