Simien Image Tour and Travel - Ethiopia

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.

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.

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 had a great time with the best driver In all ethiopia! Robel was amazing! He knew all the ways had a perfect English and was really safe drive... Recommended!

Very impressive trip. It is my first trip in Africa. Thanks to the guide Yonas! But I have been bited by some bugs, it is better to prepare some like mosquito repellent water.
