    Mysterious Ethiopia
    The sites we visited are just marvelous. The ancient churches on lake Tana are awe inspiring, with their bright color frescoes. The nature near the Blue Nile falls is so peaceful. We had the chance to see all this with Mass and Grum. They are a funny bunch, yet so knowledgeable and kind. Thanks so much!

    Fascinating real Ethiopia with real Ethiopians
    A marvelous trip with a fantastic guide, takes you as a guest of the local people to see the incredible nile waterfall, the countryside, birds, animals , flora, I saw a Python... the way of life, local food and goods you can't buy at the supermarket, and if you prepare ahead and learn some Amharic it will enrichen your experience. A wonderful guide, very knowledgeable, informal, a friend really, who knows the balance between adventure and risk. He is someone you can talk to, learn from, just be yourself and experience the real Ethiopia, and quite comfortably. Worth every Birr and one of the best guided trips I have ever experienced. Just book with Mass and everything will take care of itself. Kindness and patience go a long way to enjoy nature and people, Mass will make sure you'll have maximum chance. Looking forward to our next voyage together

    It was simply unforgettable!
    Mastewal is very professional tour guide with discipline and great communications skill. His know-how about Bahir Dar and the whole Northern part of Ethiopia is amazing. I full heartedly recommend to anyone who is visiting the area to contact with him.

    The Best tour Experience By Mass Ethiopia Tour in Northern Ethiopia.
    Without doubt one of the favourite tour guides inn Ethiopia. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Mass Ethiopia tour , our names were mentioned on the board and we felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start! The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that he deserves a special thanks. We had two great days there, which obviously also added up to the experience. Mastewal is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). The atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to all of us. All respect for Mastewal who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide! Many thanks again and I recommend Mass Ethiopia Tour

    Beautiful Bahirdar
    It was a great boat trip to the monasteries and walking through the beautiful streets of Bahirdar with enough explanations of places including historical ones. The sunset spots were super!

    Best Memories All Around!
    From Lake Tana to the monasteries to Blue Nile Falls, Mas was a great guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, polite and calm in the face of a runaway bull! I highly recommend him and his company both for leisure tours as well as edu-tourism. Can't wait to get back and try more adventures.

    Mas organized a great research trip
    My team was in Ethiopia to shoot photos and video for an educational material. Mas organized a four day package of places to see and people to visit in and around Bahir Dar. We certainly got what we came for and Mas gave us a lot of insight - and a lot of fun. I strongly recommend to let Mas organize your stay.

    A day with Mas
    The day started with my arrival at Bahir Dar airport and then off to Tississat to have a walk and see the waterfalls of the Blue Nile. After about 5 km on pavement, the road became just gravel. So, about 30 km to enjoy an "African Massage". The 30 minute walk to the falls was great - lots of local people using the path we took. What was interesting was that we crossed the first stone bridge constructed in Ethiopia in 1626. The scenery was stunning! When I visited, I thought the falls were underwhelming as much of the water had been diverted to a hydro electric station and it was the dry season. In the afternoon a visit to Lake Tana and 1-hour boat ride to Zege Peninsula. The objective was to see Ura Kidane-Mihret monastery which involved a short walk along a shaded trail lined with tourist knick-knacks stalls. The monastery was beautiful and the interior frescoes were stunning. Mas provided an explanation about the shape of the monastery and pointed out many of the biblical stories being told through the frescoes. The return boat journey culminated in a sighting of Hippos enjoying the cool water. My travel companion arrived in the afternoon on a later flight. After some confusion on the part of the airline about whether the flight was cancelled, Mas was able to confirm that it was just a delay. Mas was able to take me back to the airport to meet my friend. Mas provided a very enjoyable day and I would recommend his service for this trip.

    Paragliding tour with Mass from Addis Ababa to Mekele
    We travelled with Mass as our guide 3 weeks through the north of Ethiopia for culture and paragliding adventures. He was a very competent and humours guide. He knows a lot about the country and we could all the time count on him. He was flexible and knows how to handle with the people. We recommend him warmly.

    Do it with Mas!
    Mastewal (Mas for short) is knowledgeable, friendly, resourceful, organised, fun and practical. He and his team went beyond the call of duty to be of great help during our visit in Bahir Dar. Mas picked us from the airport and expertly guided us to enjoy the Blue Nile waterfalls, the boat trip on Lake Tana and the visit to monasteries. He ensured we are well taken care of to our trip to Gondar next day. No request was beyond Mas. He will deliver it with passion, big smile and Ethiopian hospitality. If you are visiting Bahir Dar, lake Tana, Tis Abay and surrounding areas, do not waste your time searching for a better tour organiser. Just call Mas!

Our guide, Mass, could not have been more helpful. I had some minor health issues and he went way out of his way to be helpful. He was well informed, and spoke excellent English. We would be sure to use him again if we are near lake Tana.
