Hello!! My name is Tewodros, though most travelers know me simply as Teddy. Born and raised in Addis Ababa, I have spent my life exploring the history, culture, traditions, and hidden corners of this fascinating city. What began as a childhood curiosity about the stories, people, and heritage around me grew into a lifelong passion and a rewarding career in tourism. For more than a decade, I have had the privilege of introducing visitors from around the world to the authentic Ethiopia—far beyond the guidebooks. As a professional tour guide with a background in tourism, I specialize in creating immersive experiences that connect travelers with the heart and soul of Addis Ababa. Whether we are discovering ancient history, sampling traditional cuisine, exploring vibrant local markets, sharing a coffee ceremony, or uncovering hidden gems known only to locals, my goal is to help you experience Ethiopia through the eyes of someone who truly calls it home. What sets my tours apart is my commitment to personal attention, flexibility, and genuine hospitality. I believe the best travel experiences are not measured by the number of sites visited, but by the meaningful connections, memorable stories, and authentic moments shared along the way. I take pride in understanding each guest's interests and tailoring every experience to create lasting memories. Guests often describe me as knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and passionate about my country. I love answering questions, sharing local insights, and ensuring that every traveler feels comfortable, welcomed, and inspired throughout their journey. When you travel with me, you're not simply hiring a guide—you’re gaining a local friend who is dedicated to making your visit to Ethiopia smooth, enriching, and unforgettable. I look forward to welcoming you to Addis Ababa and sharing the beauty, culture, flavors, and stories that make Ethiopia one of Africa’s most extraordinary destinations.

Journey north from Addis Ababa to the 13th-century Debre Libanos Monastery, founded by Saint Tekle Haymanot and nestled in a stunning canyon. Admire the monastery’s vibrant stained-glass church, enjoy breathtaking views over the Jemma River Valley, and walk the historic Portuguese Bridge — surrounded by lush scenery and abundant birdlife. A perfect blend of history, spirituality, and natural beauty.
Depart Addis Ababa at 7:00 am and journey north through dramatic landscapes to Debre Libanos, an ancient monastery that has played a vital role in Ethiopia’s Orthodox Christian history and resistance against Italian occupation. Explore the monastery and take in its peaceful setting perched high on the escarpment, overlooking a vast canyon. Enjoy the spectacular views and serenity before taking a short scenic walk to the Portuguese Bridge, a 16th-century stone bridge spanning the Gur River, where water plunges 600 meters into the gorge below. After soaking in the beauty and history of the area, relax on the drive back to Addis Ababa, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or the airport. A perfect day blending spirituality, nature, and adventure.
