Birhanu from New Ethiopian Tours is the guide you want. He understands service and Ethiopian culture and history. His North tour of the monastery and lakes, Gondar ( his hometown), and Lalibela’ St George and monasteries was great. He had a very good driver and clean car with AC, charging port, and bottled water. He had guided in the local areas who speak the other regional languages. In the South we went to Jinka and Turmi to see the Murai, Hammer, and bull jumping. He had local guides who spoke the local languages. The bill run was a surprise because they don’t happen everyday. He took pictures for me when it wasn’t convenient for me to have my camera. He also booked and prepaid for my trip to the depression and volcano. That’s some service. Highly recommend you let Birhanu host and guide you through the beautiful and culturally rich Abyssinia. He is college educated and will work with you on payments. He has mixing and matching down to an art.

I spent two incredible days with Birhanu in Addis Ababa. He provided me a couple of options and gave me a personalised tour of the city based on my preferences. His insights, not only as an extremely knowledgeable guide but as a local passionate to share a glimpse into his country and culture, were incomparable. I would wholeheartedly recommend him for newbies and experienced travellers alike!

Birhanu gave me the five most joyful touring days in the south of Ethiopia.
His English is perfect, his pricing is fair and he is well organised.
Even though I was born there I got to know so much more about my country.
Not only has he the knowledge about the perfect eating places, but you will also get to know the nightlife of Addis. As you will get to know the beauty of this ancient country.
He helped me with my business plans and thanks to him I got to know important people for my business ideas. He is a trustworthy person, who will help you figure out how the country works more deeply.

Birhanu was my tour guide on two trips to Addis Ababa in the past few months, and for good reason. He is flexible, responsive, and understanding, with the unique ability to tailor a trip to your needs.
I was pleasantly impressed with Birhanu's commitment to punctuality. He's always on time, whether for a 5am tour or a mid-day coffee stop. A good understanding of time is an underrated quality in guides, and can make a huge difference for a traveller looking to enjoy all a destination has to offer. He made my last trip seamless, from the time I got in to the time I left.
But what really sets Birhanu apart from others is his knowledge of Addis Ababa and Ethiopia at large. He knows the ins and outs of the country, having travelled around Ethiopia as a guide for over ten years.
Plus, he always goes the extra mile, ensuring you've checked all the sights off your list and even more.
Overall, if you're planning a trip to Ethiopia, go with Birhanu for an unforgettable, mesmerizing experience.

Spent 10 best days in Ethiopia with Mr Birhanu, who is the guide and also the owner of this 5 star tour company. For sure the best in Ethiopia. Mr Birhanu is a very knowledgeable, responsible and professional in his field. Out of few people who have inspired me by their conduct, Birhanu is one of them. 100% recommended for anyone travelling to Ethiopia

My wife and I took a 6 day trip to Ethiopia (Addis, Lalibela and Gondor. Birhanu wasn't available but our tour guide Dessu was great. Ethiopia is a fascinating country and we hit the high points, particularly the stone churches in Lalibela.
Dessu did an outstanding job, always flexible, knowledgeable, and great fun to travel with. Some of the local guides struggled with English but Dessu stepped in and translate for us.
Can strongly recommend Birhanu or Dessu to provide an outstanding tour of Ethiopia.

Just had a great private tour tailored to my interests. Birhanu had excellent recommendations and was a great tour guide- keeping my safety, security, and comfort at the forefront as I’m a tourist in Addis. Highly recommend this company!

The first time I went to Ethiopia was in August 2017 and I travelled with Birhanu's tour company in Addis Ababa, as well as in the North and South of the country. I am a solo female traveler and I was 70 years old at that time. The experience was so fantastic - magical I would say - that I decided to go back to Ethiopia for a second time in March 2018 - obviously with Birhanu's tour company - in order to explore this amazing and contrasting country for a whole month.
Birhanu is the most knowledgable, helpful and thoughtful person you can wish for to plan and organize a custom made trip for you and ,especially, guide you through the maze of Addis Abeba like no one else. He not only knows his city, its history, culture and traditions, he also seems to intuitively know, what your personal likes and dislikes might be and he adapts his tours so individually that they result to be simply perfect.
Actually, I am planning to be back for a third time - Ethiopia is the most amazing country I have ever been to, no doubt due to my unique previous experiences. If you want to get a real insight of Ethiopia, there is no better choice than to do it with Birhanu. Thank you for everything Birhanu!

HI, We had the afternoon in Addis Ababa, and did a food tour. It was not only delicious. Our guide was so well informed and proud of his country. We learned so much and went to five different spots. We can't recommend it more highly.

I had an absolutely unforgettable day in Addis with Sofeniyas and Ganet!! The tourguides were super friendly and warm, the tour was well organised and I really felt I got to see the maximum of the city in just one day! I highly recommend taking a tour with New Ethiopia tours - as I had a stopover they were flexible in accommodating my arrival and departure times so this is really a feasible option for anyone! Thanks again guys!
