Excellent tour guide!! Highly recommend to anyone traveling to Ethiopia to book some day tours with him. He is very knowledgeable with the history of Ethiopia and has a great rapport with the local museums and restaurants. When I return I'll definitely be booking a Lalibela tour.
Tabitha Garcia · United States
Knowledgeable, friendly and professional
Dan is a great guide, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and professional. He organised a 10 day tour of Ethiopia for us. Arranging internal flights, hotels, driver's and other guides for us and he didn't want any money in advance, we just paid him cash on arrival which we thought was very trusting as we could have changed our mind leaving him out of pocket. We really enjoyed our tour he arranged and thought it was great value for money. Definitely recommend him.

Magical Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Dan was an excellent guide. He can book and organise tours all over Ethiopia. He is based in Lalibela which is his speciality. We enjoyed the difference landscapes of the Dankil Depression and church in the sky in the Tigray region. All safe. Or tour finished by a sightseeing tour of Addis Abbas. Don't hesitate.
