“Llegamos a Etiopía desde Buenos Aires con mi marido y mis dos hijos. Pero nuestra experiencia habia comenzado mucho antes, solo unos minutos después de elegir este tour. Mulugeta se comunico directamente con nosotros para definir detalles y nos acompaño, nos aconsejo y nos recomendó para que estos 3 días en Addis Ababa fueran inolvidables. Teshome y Atsede fueron mucho más que un guía y una conductora, estuvieron atentos a cada detalle, nos ayudaron con las fotos, nos enseñaron su país. Gracias!! Mañana seguimos nuestro viaje felices de haber compartido estos días con ustedes.”
