O passeio foi maravilhoso, tanto Josephine nosso guia quanto Noah nosso motorista foram incríveis, muito hospitaleiros e sempre trazendo referências do nosso país, nos fazendo sentir em casa. Conseguimos aprender muito em um dia de tour, espero com certeza poder voltar e fazer mais passeios com a empresa.

I had a long layover in Addis (by design) to take an opportunity to explore the city. Shasha was an amazing guide. He picked me up promptly and we immediately hit it off setting the tone for a great day. We of course made time for a coffee stop before diving in. He was knowledgeable about the main sites that we were to visit, but offered up intimate color-commentary along the way down every street and alley as to our surroundings, what locals were doing, and any history that may have occurred. He wove in national and local history to our conversations effortlessly, and his pride in the city and Ethiopia shone through. I had to catch a flight in the evening, but of course, I wanted to stay longer. I highly recommend Shasha as your guide in Addis!!!!!!!!!!!
