Mulu guetta propose au visiteur qui souhaite organiser un voyage en Éthiopie un service de qualité.
Nous sommes partis une dizaine de jours en Éthiopie pour y découvrir plusieurs villes emblématiques (Addis-Abeba-Lalibela-Harar). Lors de la préparation au départ, Mulu nous a proposé d’organiser la logistique du voyage en fonction de nos envies et de notre budget (réservations des hôtels, programmes des visites, guides à Harar et Lalibela). Cela nous a permis de partir dans les meilleures conditions. Il nous a guidé à Addis-Abeba et à Bishoftu en ponctuant nos visites d’anecdotes et d’explications détaillées sur les lieux que nous avons visités. Les guides qu’il nous a recommandés à Lalibela et Harar étaient supers. Très consciencieux et à l’écoute, nous le recommandons à quiconque souhaite partir dans ce merveilleux pays qu’est l’Éthiopie.

Mul is an amazing tour guide for Addis.
When I arrived at the airport, I had problem about the process to go out of the airport and made him wait for 1 or 2 hours, but he kindly waited for me and even gave me advice through the text.
His knowledge of Addis is abundant, such as history, culture, religious etc. He taught me a lot of unique culture of Addis. Without him, my traveling would be so boring! I strongly recommend him as your tour guide in Addis!
