Fasilides tour operator is run by Abebe, whose ancestors were workers and warriors of Emperor Fasilides. And still now, the members of his family have the right to be buried in the cemetery placed in the courtyard of the Fasilides Castle, in Gondar.
Traveling with Abebe is different. Abebe is not the classical operator who organize all-inclusive trips for large groups, by reserving hotels, flight, and so on. He is more used to small groups, who want to experience the real Ethiopia, by having contacts with the real local culture, and who like to travel without running from a place to another and having of each place just an impression.
All the guide/drivers that work for Abebe, will be like a person of your family during the travel, and will always take care of your safety and give you suggestions on what to do or not to do in any different cultural contest. They will suggest you the best places where to eat local food, where to have rest while drinking a wonderful fruit juice, where to listen to the Azmaris, the Ethiopian minstrels, or invite you in a private house for the classical coffee ceremony.
Fasilides Tour Operator also cooperates with a bigger Tour Operator, Omotour, which can provide also for big groups.
