Fasil Legesse - Ethiopia Tour guide

Why have a Tour Guide 

Language Barrier

One of the most difficult things for a tourist when visiting Ethiopia is communication. This is not made easier by the fact that throughout the country there are 88 different languages and dialects. If you can speak English, leave the rest to me.

Hidden Gems

There are many beautiful places to visit in this area and some of the scenery is stunning.

Depending on what you want to see, there is something for everyone. Let me know what interests you and I will find something that delivers for you.

There are many pre-arranged tours you can book, or you can do your own thing, and that’s great. But sometimes it’s handy to have someone local you can call on. Someone who knows the local customs, someone who speaks the language. I can be just a phone call away and that’s reassuring!

Nightlife

Like in many large cities throughout the world, it is never wise to head into unknown areas, especially after dark, but with a local guide to keep you safe, you can enjoy everything from music to authentic local cuisine at a reasonable cost, and a safe journey home – no matter how late.

Getting Around

I can collect you from the airport in a taxi or a mini-bus depending on the size of the group and arrange transport at competitive rates to take you around the local area and out into the countryside.

The traffic in Addis and the roads in the countryside are not for the faint-hearted. Do not take the risk of hiring a vehicle and heading out of the city on your own, without a local guide. Buses can provide an experience you will not forget, but maybe not one you might want to remember.

Hotel Bookings

There are so many booking web sites where you can book your accommodation and I will leave that to you. For everything else, please contact me.

Payment

Pay me nothing in advance. 
When you are here I charge $10 per hour for my services

I enjoy meeting people from different countries and cultures, and sharing their new experiences of Ethiopia with them

I have been the guide to a number of individuals and groups since graduating from College, having studied English, Accountancy and IT.

Here are a few comments from them.

I look forward to meeting you soon.

Best wishes,

Fasil has been a very terrific guide and friend on our trip. Besides the churches, our hike into the mountains was stunning and a very big plus. Fasil was so kind to arrange this on a very last-minute basis, as me and my friends asked to do a morning hike whilst finishing dinner the evening before.

“It was my first visit to Ethiopia and, thanks to Fasil, my husband and I both had an amazing time.”

“If you are coming to Ethiopia and want it to be extra special, give Fasil a shout first and he will make sure you will leave with memories that will last a lifetime”
