  Booked two trips with the company. Worst two days of our two week journey.
  
  1. Day trip to the Simien. Started off with a 7.30am pickup where we were driven around in Gondar for hours. At around 9am they decided to put us on one of those local van which was in no condition to be going to the mountains. The original van was the white tourist van, proper seats, clean, and safe. Whereas the blue/white van that was quite a wreakage. The seats weren’t properly locked into place, so it felt like we were sitting in a rocking chair for the day. Extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. Seatbelt didn’t work as well. The trip was a rip-off at $100 per person per day. We felt cheated.
  
  2. The next day we had a private car booked to take us to Bahar Dar with stops along the way including photos ops and Blue Nile falls. Once we got in the car we were told that a visit to the falls isn’t included. I had a long argument with Alexander since he corresponded with me via email prior to the trip and we agreed on $50 per person for the transfer with stop at the falls.
  
  All in all an unsafe company! Risking their clients safety physically and cheating financially as well. Better off using other companies that will provide service as agreed.

  Thank you, Alex, for an incredible tour experience! As a solo female traveller, I was somewhat apprehensive about the trip. Alex was professional, courteous, and trustworthy. He was able to deliver exactly what was promised. I contacted several tour operators in the Mekele region but he was was the only one who was able to arrange exactly what I needed on my limited time frame. The vehicle was well maintained. He also was able to arrange my tour to the Danakil depression and made sure I had a front seat in the Landcruiser. This really made the trip more comfortable. I highly recommend him! Details like a welcome gift, local honey and bread, and sending me pictures after the tour really show that he really goes above and beyond.

  You are who you travel with indeed. I had an amazing experience. Well organized, knowledgeable & welcoming folks. I would totally recommend their service to anyone who wants to travel to Ethiopia without being hustled and ripped off.

  Alex is a great human being , very passionate about Ethiopian history and patrimony. He has an extended knowledge of Ethiopia and has long time connections in every part of the country to organize visits. I cannot wait to use his services again.

  We did a tour to the Danakil Depression with Simien Image Tour and Travel and it was fantastic. I'd have not hesitation recommending this company if you are looking for a quality tour operator in Ethiopia.
