Great historical tour & scenic country views with a very capable tour guide

5.00- I had the pleasure to take this tour with the very capable tour guide Elias & it was one of the most enjoyable tours I've ever had. - The tour contains a very scenic road & during it, I listened to Elias's very interesting narration about Ethiopia's country side. - Enjoyed touring Debre Libanos Monastery, while listening to the history of the church from a kind & informative priest (sorry, forgot his name). - The Jamma river, the Portuguese bridge & the water falls were great addition to the tour. I really appreciated Elias providing support to me in climbing over the volcanic rocks. - After all it was very enjoyable tour, especially with Elias, the great tour guide Tip for viewers: Elias is an excellent photographer & he readily agrees to take tour photos for you
We has an excellent day...

5.00We has an excellent day out with Elias and Asi. We saw plentiful Gelada monkeys and a highly informative tour around the monastery. The Portuguese bridge and surrounds was very dramatic and is home to lots of monkeys. Elias and Asi were excellent company.
