“My guide was preoccupied with himself and his business, on the phone or talking to others leaving me standing around waiting a lot. We even went to his bank, so unprofessional. Viator refuses to give a refund because we did 2/3 things, basically the guide sucked. So ask first and don’t use or refuse Simeon Tour Group, Awful.”

“They sent a driver to take me to a restaurant, then we went to a market. I felt bad for the guy because he was not a guide and doesn't speak very good English. This is was the worst "food tour" I went on and it was not worth 60USD. Also the car wasn't air-conditioned, so I ended inhaling all the dust and fumes from around Addis. I gave it 2 stars for the sake of the nice young man who picked me up.”
