"We spend the day in Bahir Dar with Ephrem. We visited Lake Tana and the monasteries and churches on islands in Lake Tana. It was an amazing day with a wonderful guide. The visit was extremely insightful and Ephrem really went out of his way to make it an astonishing day."

"guide very kind and helpful. with him I visited the two monasteries on the lake den and he even invited me to drink a coffee in his family's house. but I believe that if I return to the falls of the Blue Nile I will definitely contact him"

"Had a great experience in Bahir Dar and visiting island monasteries on Lake Tana with Ephrem. Ephrem grew up on one of the island monasteries, and so was able to provide a very unique, off-the-beaten-path tour experience, introducing me to lifelong friends, sharing food, and providing thorough explanations of all aspects of Bahir Dar, Lake Tana and the churches/monasteries. He even invited me into his home for a traditional coffee ceremony and delicious meal with his beautiful family, and sent me home with traditional Ethiopian food! Ephrem also made sure I knew everything I needed to know to be properly adjusted to life in Bahir Dar. Great experience!"

"We were lucky to have Ephrem as our guide in Bahir Dah. He's very experienced and he knows a great deal about the district and its history and its many sites that are of interest to tourists. In addition, his English is excellent, he is thoughtful, helpful and kind and he has a very good sense of humour! You're in for a great time in BD with him. Very highly recommended!"

"Ephrem was recommended to me by another Ethiopian tour guide and he proved to be an excellent choice. I was living in Addis Ababa for work and took a long weekend to visit Bahir Dar. He proposed various itineraries and I chose the one that included a good balance of culture and nature, with boat rides to monasteries, hikes and a walk around the city. Ephrem knows the area very well and is knowledgeable of history, culture and local places to eat and have fun. He is an very nice person and completely trustworthy. I highly recommend him."
