Dear Eskinder,
Having returned to the cold & damp of an Irish winter, I am compelled to write and thank you for organising my recent private tour in Northern Ethiopia.

There is certainly much more to Ethiopia than I expected. From the bustle and sophistication of Addis, the peace and quiet of the countryside and the beauty and history of Bahirdar & Gonder.

The extraordinary trekking and wildlife in the Simien Mountains; the religious and historical centre of Axum; to the history, culture and magnificent scenery of Lalibela; and everywhere the dignity, charm and extraordinary warmth of the Ethiopian people.

Ethiopia is simply beautiful. I loved my first visit and cannot wait to return (hopefully, the southern tour at the end of this year).

The tour organised for me by Highway Tours/Ethiopiantour.com was excellent, and your personal involvement throughout was very much appreciated.

Your use of experienced local guides at each destination not only takes advantage of their specialist knowledge/insight but contributes financially to the local economy.

The organisation throughout was exemplary and the quality of guides, drivers, etc. was second to none.

I thoroughly recommend Ethiopia as a holiday destination, and Highway Tours/Ethiopiantour.com as a tour operator for quality and organisation.

Should any prospective visitor to Ethiopia have queries, they are welcome to contact me. Thank you again Eskinder,

Warmest regards,
