          9 Day Tour to South and North Ethiopia organized by Majesty Ethiopia Tours
          We recently made a 9 Day Tour to South and North Ethiopia organized by Majesty Ethiopia Tours. We were impressed with Beka's professionalism, who took care of every detail of our trip. He always responded immediately to our questions and our requests. We are very satisfied with the services provided by Beka and his collaborators.

          Quick history lesson
          Fitsum was a fantastic guide - he was so knowledgeable and such a great ambassador for his country! I really appreciated his knowledge about Indigenous Peoples in Ethiopia!

          Amazing Lalibela
          Lalibela has been on my list for a long time. the trip did not disappoint. Beka made sure that I was taken care of at every step of the way ensuring not only that I experienced all that lalibela had to offer but also maintaining my safety. I am solo, female traveler and have used this company twice now and will definitely do it again and again and recommend it to my friends.

          Reasonably price for solo traveler, safety accomodation & nice travel experience
          Did the tour with them on mid-Feb 2024. The overall experience was great from start to finish. They helped me buying the air tickets with reasonably price. Private tour to visit 5 tribes surrounded Jinka & Turmi, then transported me to Arba Minch and also did the Chamo Lake boat tour. The driver name Dereje (+251 91685 3475) was very kind, careful drive and attentive, all in all i'm very pleased with him. Still remembering the Sofi Malt bottle which he bought for me in Bana weekly market

          Great tour!!
          Highly recommend this tour. The communication was clear and easy leading up to pickup. The vehicle was nice and new. At all times my family felt safe with the visits and driving around. What we most liked about the tour was the ability to change durations for sites we wanted to spend more or less time at. The coffee ceremony at the top of Entonto was unexpected and memorable. We also changed the order of sites. Though we were the only ones in this group tour so this may not be possible for all. Most appreciated was a small detour at the end to buy a souvenir for my daughter. Thank you Fitsum (guide) for the great authentic tour well suited for my family.

          Great tour!
          Our. Family enjoyed a safe and fulfilling tour of Addis. Communication about pickup and punctuality top notch. What was most enjoyed was the ability to work with the guide and driver to reorder the tour, change durations and the order. This may not be available to all but my family of four were the only ones in the group tour. I would highly recommend using Beka. Also, my daughter really wanted a specific souvenir and we were able to take a slight detour on the way back to the hotel to shop and buy it. Great tour!!

          An amazing country and guide. Enjoyed 30 fabulous days in Ethiopia with the absolutely incredible Beka and Beka Tours
          What an amazing country. From the Omo Valley in the south to Axum in the north we enjoyed so many great experiences. Its a country full of potential. We withessed events and situations that blew our minds. To see communities living a lifestyle that is little changed over thousands of years is to be cherished. To witness a Hamar tribe Bull Jumping Ceremony, a camel market near the world heritage site at Harar,and the Mekelle Ashenda festival are but a few highlights. To stay in alode in the Awash National Park with a roaring waterfall outside the suite was incredible and to climb up to the 9th century rock church, Abuna Yemata Guh, was beyond belief. All the way Beka was an incredible guide. He is so warm, friendly and balaned. He anticipated and satisfied our every reasonable (and sometimes unreasonable) want and desire. He was always attuned to what was happening around and in front of us, drawing on a strong network of contacts. This allowed us to maximise opportunities and avoid potential troublespots. He speaks all of the major languages used in Ethiopia, as well as several Eurpean ones, which was massively advantageous - he could speak to people everywhere in their local language and dialect so that they were friends rather than business associates. Beka is also extraordinarily knowledgeable. He has a masters in Anthropology which was a great asset in a country that claims to be the cradle of civilsation. His cultural and local knowledge though was equally impressive. He generally had more understanding than local guides (who by the way were well above average in capability) so he could add context to their contributions.

          Best guide ever for our custom Ethiopian tour
          Beka is FABULOUS! I had contacted Beka via the internet along with 5 other guides. Beka answered back with 30 minutes.Beka is prompt, kind, respectful,extremely knowledgeable about Ethiopian culture, history and people…….and very very cost efficient! We have visited 150 countries in the past 40 or so years encountered 200 or so guides. I would put Beka in the top 5 of these 200 guides. I had developed a customized tour of Northern and Southern Ethiopia . Beka worked with me and confirmed and guided my choices. He developed a very reasonably priced custom tour for us with our expectations. I asked for references and he gave me 5, all of whom were extremely happy with Beka services. As per our request, The hotels he arranged were the very best in the areas. In some areas where resources were very limited like in the southern part we had spartan, but clean, friendly, and courteous service with excellent local food, or if we requested, vegetarian food. Beka arranged for unique experiences like making “ injera” ( crepe like bread)with the grandmother of the village in her outdoor kitchen where the fire was fueled by eucalyptus leaves. Or making a visit inside the dwellings of the Turmi tribe. We travelled as a couple in our 79s and 80 s. He watched out for our well being, was always discreetly present and helpful and prompt. RECOMMEND BEKA HIGHLY 🙏🏻

          Day tour in Bahir Dar - to repeat if some discount applied for unfinished program
          Well organized, i liked the initiative to change the rescheduling of Blue Nile to the morning due to the rainfall expected; but no time left to visit the island on Lake Tana due to lunch place inconvenience (not the tour organization’s fault; but a more result oriented approach is necessary); and the local market as it was already very late when we finished touring the lake. All in all, the price is significantly high but the comfort and attention to the needs are fine. No complimentary tea or coffee as mentioned on the program. Some details missing regarding information given; but it was enjoyable all in all.

          Best tour guide ever
          The best tour guide ever. My wife and I have traveled to more than 125 countries so far. We prefer customized exploration. Our tour experience is dependent on the quality of the guide. Beka Grima discussed our options and worked with us to detail the plan. He purchased airplane tickets, booked hotels, reserved cars and personally conducted the tour. His entire attention for two weeks was on enhancing our experience, making us comfortable and briefing us along the way. Beka dealt with uncertainties caused by weather, airline, closures and personal safety. I recommend Beka Grima with no hesitation to the most discerning tourists.

          When you’re far away from home there’s nobody better to have by your side than Beka. Beka is more than a tour guide, he ensures your journey is full of unique experiences and is tailored to your needs and specific interests. Beka is highly intelligent, multilingual and works with only the best drivers and facilities ensuring a worlds best experience.

          Ethiopia, the trip of a lifetime. Beka, a guide like none other you will ever meet.
          Ethiopia is a colorful, intriguing, fascinating country with lovely people whose hospitality was surprisingly welcoming. What made our trip so special was our guide. We hired a guide and left a family member. Our every need was dealt with a smile and affection.

          A piece of my heart…. 💚💛❤️
          This trip was the true definition of “experience”. Our guide, Beka not only did all of the “logistics” for us but made sure we were immersed into the culture of each tribe and place. When I left Ethiopia, I truly felt a piece of my heart was still there. I can’t thank Beka enough for creating this wonderful experience and memories for a lifetime!

          Beka is the best
          Beka was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. I learned so much about Ethiopia, culture, people, history, etc. he had an answer to just about every question I asked. He was super fun to hang out with for the day. I will definitely be returning to Ethiopia to see him again!
