We left in the morning with Luel for an incredible day of sightseeing around Addis Ababa. It was possible to see the workers in the fields and the small villages on the side of the road. After 2 hours of travel, we arrived at the Debre Libanos Monastery. The place and its history are fascinating, especially the monk who guided us through the museum and the Church. We love it! The second part of the tour was to visit the Jemma river valley, with the Portuguese bridge and the bleeding heart baboons. The landscape is absolutely beautiful! The monkeys don't get very close (thankfully) but we were able to see the red color of their chest and several of their babies. Furthermore, lunch was delicious and we even stopped on the way to try the "Ethiopian tequila", approved by those who like alcoholic drinks. Anyway, Luel provided us with a very pleasant day, with lots of information about Ethiopia and its culture. We hope to return to do more tours with Luel :)

Great tour! We first planned just a quick stop-over in Addis Ababa, but then decided to stay two days to see more than the city. Having a glimpse on life in rural Ethopia was worth the decision, even though this meant a two hour drive out of town over sometimes bumpy roads one shares with cows and donkeys. Thanks to our driver Hop it felt comfortable and safe at all times. Luel did a great job explaining sights and people and answered our many questions patiently and friendly. A monk gave us an authentic view on Coptic religion and a tour through the church and museum of Debrelibanos. And then there was nature! The scenic views on the Blue Nile, waterfall and canyon were breathtaking beautiful! Even though the Portuguese Bridge could be a major touristic spot, we were the only tourists there. It was just peace and nature. As it was only us on the tour, we could adjust the schedule to our needs and Luel was very flexible with that. In sum this trip is highly recommendable!

After our business trip, my colleagues and I took a day off and ventured outside the city to immerse ourselves in the local surroundings. Guided by Luel, we had a wonderfully comfortable and enjoyable experience. The team's professionalism and friendliness made communication a breeze. We absolutely relished the scenic journey to each destination and wholeheartedly recommend not letting this trip pass you by.
