Incredible and spectacular
Travel Review – Spain, June 2025
I just returned from an unforgettable trip to Spain, and I can't help but share my deep gratitude for the experience. It was 15 unique days, filled with beauty, excitement, and details curated with exceptional care. It wasn't just a trip… it was a transformative experience.
From the very beginning, the organizing agency demonstrated a level of professionalism, closeness, and attention to detail that I've rarely seen. Each stage of the itinerary was lovingly planned, balancing culture, relaxation, gastronomy, art, and moments of emotional connection. Everything worked out perfectly: on-time transfers, charming accommodations, soulful guided tours, and local experiences that made us feel part of the country.
But if there's someone who deserves special recognition, it's Sun, the soul behind this adventure. Her passion, generosity, sensitivity, and commitment to our well-being made each day better than the last. He was attentive to everything, always with a smile, resolving unexpected issues before we even noticed, and giving his all in every detail. Thank you, Sun, for your humanity, for your excellence, and for making this trip forever etched in our hearts.
I'll be back. And I'll be back with you. Because when you find a professional who puts their heart and soul into what they do, you need look no further.

Excellent agency!
I had an amazing experience with this travel agency! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The staff was friendly, helpful, and always available to answer any questions. The trip exceeded my expectations — great hotels, smooth transfers, and unforgettable excursions. They have excellent guides and drivers who made the journey even more enjoyable and comfortable. I didn’t have to worry about a thing, just relax and enjoy every moment. I highly recommend this agency to anyone looking for a hassle-free and wonderful vacation!

Bale National Park and Addis City Tour
I booked the bale national park and addis city tour with Tsehaynew. I had a fabulous time. It was a solo trip to the mountains and he gave a very reasonable pricing. He also made sure he arranged everything back to back perfectly. The local guide he had chosen for the trip was great. He also arranged transport to and from Addis. My return trip to save time he booked a flight back from Bale national park and didn't even charge extra for it. What mattered for Tsehaynew was that I have a great time and experience the full essence of Ethiopia. I look forward to returning to the beautiful Ethiopia and planning more trips with Tsehaynew. One of the best tour operators I have worked with. Thanks a lot my friend.

Authentic Ethiopia with Tsehaynew – A Family Adventure to Remember!
Tsehaynew organized an amazing 1.5-week trip for us in Ethiopia, visiting the places we had dreamed of seeing for a long time. He chose great hotels that suited our needs, even arranging special beds for the kids, and always picked good local restaurants. Despite this comfort, we still felt like we experienced the real Ethiopia—authentic and unforgettable.
He was incredibly helpful with our one-year-old child, often carrying and entertaining them when we needed a break. We always felt safe with him; he protected us from potential scams and made sure everything ran smoothly. We truly appreciated his care, attention to detail, and warm hospitality throughout the journey.
Highly recommended!
