Helena is a guide of highest qualification, her excursions and tours and thought out to the tiniest detail, her stories about Ethiopia, its towns, nature, history and people are most interesting, enthralling and informative. Her choice of hotels for us during our tour is flawless: they were really best quality hotels. DUring the trip we didn't have to worry, since all was well organized, attached, thought out and calculated. We were pleased to see how local people relate to us and our guide (hotel employees, local guides, airport staff, drivers, museum and church caretakers, priests and guards). We saw heartwarming expression of friendship, attachment and gratitude. This is because Helena loves this country and we understand reasons of this love, too

In December 2015 I came to Ethiopia for the fifth time. This time I was interested history of Abyssinia (North Ethiopia, monolithic churches of Lalibela, Axum with granite steles and churches, history of Axumite empire and Queen of Sheba). Itinerary of my tour was flawless, with best service, comfortable hotels and perfect guide service. Everything was interesting and informative. With gratitude, Nora
