I just had to write to say thank you for the excellent & prompt customer service and follow up I have been provided with. The tour went very well. The family liked the way the tour guide interacted with the children. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful about the flora and fauna of the Simien Mountains. The driver was on time and helpful. It was a great experience.
