Super day tour and geladas galore - We spent 2 whole days with Sisay...in French! At little care for us, he made us discover many things in Addis Ababa and surroundings. By thinking outside the box sometimes. We really appreciated his punctuality, knowledge, kindness, humor and flexibility. Real custom. Thanks to him, we had a great time in Ethiopia. Thank you Sisay

Great day with Sissay at Debre Libanos - The view is totally awesome in the area of Debre Libanos indeed but going with Adefa Tours and Sissay is an experience in itself. You won't find a better guide for setting a personalized trip! I highly recommend! By the way, the monastery worths it and the Portuguese bridge is a must seen! Afterwards you will enjoy an Injera with an amazing view on the valley!
