One of the best tour I've ever done. Meeting new people and enjoying different activities. We drove to the Blue Niles falls and it was so beautiful and we took a bout trip on lake Tana and visited ancient and so historical monasteries found on the islands of the lake, it really was a great time we spent on the day trip.
