    I would like to thank sycamore@Haile. I had an unforgettable 19 day tour organized by Haile @Sycamore_ethiopa_ Tours.His care started with the pickup from Addis Ababa airport. He also organized Sim cards for us. Haile was always punctual, accommodating and nice.Our wishes were met constantly. We felt safe and secure with him. 19 unforgettable days through northern and southern Ethiopia are now over and I have made another friend in my homeland, Haile. If I have the opportunity to do a tour again, I would recommend it with a calm conscience. I say thank you now and see you soon. Helen Binega-Heberer

    Haile was very responsive and gave us options which would work well with my family and friends. We were taken to the places we had agreed on. Our guide Zeray had good information on the various sites and made sure we were comfortable. It was a relaxed trip where we enjoyed the landscapes and learned alot about the history and how it ties in to tge middle east. They all kept time. A Stress free tour it was. Thanks Sycamore Tours

    We went to Axum and visited the ancient town with Mr. Haile tour operator of sycamore tours . We had a lovely tour everything goes smooth even more than I expected. We have visited the incredible obelisks, tombs ,museum, Ezana Inscription, Queen of Sheba Palace and the most holy place of St. Mary Zion Church and the house of Ark of Covenant. We were delighted that we have seen the guard of Ark of Covenant who is being there for the rest of his life . The city was clean beautiful and descent I ike it for us it's one of the place where you can get all. Most recommended place in 2023/2024 to be visited.

    Fantastic tour guide! Spent a day with Haile - he picked us up at the airport with his driver and vehicle - and we toured Aksum’s main sites. He is personable, knowledgeable, and speaks English very well. We learned so much about the history and religion and archeology in the area, and he was patient and accommodating to all of our needs. We had the unique opportunity to speak to the priests at the churches and Haile translated for us! We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly guide and/or tour agency - whether in Aksum or anywhere else in Ethiopia. He’s very responsive via WhatsApp which I found was not so much the case with other guides we’ve been in contact with. Wish I would have known that he arranges tours in other areas, as we probably would have booked more with him.

    Haila is an amazing tour guide. He was very informative and told us many stories about history. We had young kids whom he kept engaged. I would definitely take other tours with him.
