Welcome!! I'm Muluken. I am professional experienced tour organizer/guide in Addis Ababa and Ethiopia. I am here to make your tour experience special. Please, read further below and know me better. I was born and grew up in Addis Ababa - where I completed my junior education. I studied Accounting and was graduated in Diploma from Mekelle University. I didn't, luckily, like my job for 7 months as an Accountant till I decided something social. Then, I studied Tour Operation and Travel Management at the Catering and Tourism Training Institute for two years and graduated in Diploma in 2004 with 'Distinctions' ranking. I worked as a permanent tour operator/guide for the next five years at two of the best known tour companies in Addis Ababa. From August 2009 on, I've been enjoying organizing city tours in Addis Ababa, day tours around Addis Ababa, and longer day private tours to the historical sites of Northern Ethiopia, and the cultural and natural sites of the Omo Valley of Southern Ethiopia. My best quality, I believe, is customizing private tours in Addis Ababa, and longer days tours in Ethiopia. In addition to living in Addis, and professional knowledge and years of experience I got, I am passionate for guiding. Tour guiding is not only my way of earning money, it is a passion I live for. One thing about traveling with me is that your tour with me can be pretty much anything you want it to be. If you want learning, look for soft adventure, need to try local foods, wish to have fun at traditional bars, it is all ready waiting for you! Please, have a look at what my previous clients experienced Addis Ababa and Ethiopia with me for more. And, contact me if you think I and my previous clients mean it!
