Sisay is very knowledgeable, friendly and reliable. I had a fun, memorable tour of Merkato and Sisay ensured it was safe at all times. Highly recommend!

The expedition was very well curated by guides that were not only well versed in history but also thrilled to share about their city and country. We covered quite a bit in the day, from the national musuem to the church and coffee roasters- with ending the day at a French cafe where we met other expats and locals that the guides introduced us to - im still in touch with some of the people I met!
I would recommend very highly and without any reservation a tour by this company, and wish their guides the very best
