Gashaw and Aspire Ethiopia for the win!

Gashaw and Aspire Ethiopia for the win!
Gashaw and Aspire Ethiopia are the way to go when traveling to Addis and further throughout the country! He’s very friendly, flexible, and knowledgeable, and does the best job at not only allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the country and culture, but also learn about and understand it during your time there. My trip was a life-changing experience, and it wouldn’t have been the same without his guidance throughout it. Can’t recommend Gashaw and Aspire Ethiopia enough!

Amazing Experience; Highly Recommended
My family and I had such a great time in Ethiopia thanks to Gashaw. From the start, he made us feel like we were traveling with a close friend rather than a tour guide. He brought such a fun, welcoming, family like energy to the whole trip and knew literally everything about every place we visited. We learned so much, shared plenty of laughs, and genuinely enjoyed every moment with him. By the end of the trip, he felt like part of the family. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

Great day exploring key sights in Addis Ababa
The Addis day tour covered essential sights to see in Addis. Booking was easy and Teshome immediately reached out to confirm hotel pick up time. Teshome, the tour guide and Teferi, the driver showed up on time for pick up. Teshome was very knowledgeable and covered the key historical facts on all sites we visited and was a great tour guide. While St George church was under renovation, he took us to another church Ba’eta Le Mariam monastery where king Menellik II and his family are buried. Overall, tour was very informative on Ethiopia’s history. Teferi did a wonderful job driving the busy streets and navigating the narrow streets of Merkato. I would highly recommend this tour.

Very academic and professional tour guide with Mr Zele
Super enjoy with my tour guide Zele. I think he is extremely knowledgeable and he teaches me so many things about Ethiopia, Africa. The religion, the geology, the animals, the landscape, the culture, the music and so much more. I especially love the Addis Ababa university and enthnological museum and we learn a lot of things. And thanks Mr Zele to take care of me in this rainy days. Thank you. I will be back to Ethiopia one day again in the future.

Great little day trip
Stephen was an experienced and knowledgeable guide who ensured we had a great day trip during our stay in Nairobi. We booked as a couple and enjoyed a private vehicle at our own pace. The combination of the Giraffe sanctuary, Bead factory and Karen Blixen homestead with a paid buffet lunch in between was a good combination and well paced.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Mt....
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Mt. Longonot Private TourAs a solo female traveler, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I met Wilson, my driver and tour guide, I felt completely safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. He was kind, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. I especially appreciated his genuine pride in Kenya and his passion for sharing the history, culture, and beauty of his country.For the hike, Peter, the park guide, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about Mt. Longonot, the area, and the wildlife, and he did a great job spotting animals along the way. He also took some wonderful photos for me!I highly recommend this tour. Wilson and Peter made the entire day safe, enjoyable, informative, and truly memorable. 🇰🇪❤️

Day-Trip to Alexandria from Cairo by Private Car

Nice Relaxing Trip to Alexandria
We had a grand time! We were picked up in a nice and air conditioned car with an extremely friendly and helpful driver. We then took a 2.5 hour drive to Alexandria and our driver was pointing out all the sights to us.When we arrived at our first point, we met our guide, Shari. She was also very nice and gave us some history on each stop. She kept a nice pace too … not rushed, but not lingering either. She also was very nice with the picture taking at each sight. Finally, we had a nice fish lunch in a restaurant overlooking the Citadel before heading back to the hotel.We’d highly recommend this tour!
