Debre Libanos Orthodox Church
Its one of the ancient and historical monastery in Ethiopia, Which is lying on northwest of Addis Ababa. The monastery was founded in the 13th century by Saint Tekle Haymanot, according to tradition; he meditated in a cave for 29 years. The monastery complex sits on a terrace between a cliff and the gorge of one of the tributaries of the Abbay River. None of the original buildings of Debre Libanos survive, although David Buxton suspected "there are interesting things still to be found among the neighbouring cliffs." Current buildings include the church over Tekle Haymanot's tomb, which Emperor Haile Selassie ordered constructed in 1961; a slightly older Church of the Cross, where Buxton was told a fragment of the True Cross is preserved; and five religious schools.
Portuguese Bridge
Portuguese bridge near Debre Libanos was erected by the Portuguese in the 16th century; it was actually built at the turn of the 19th century by Ethiopians, albeit in the old Portuguese style. The narrow span makes a pretty picture and the gushing (in the rainy season) cascade just below it is even more impressive

I highly recommend this tour company for anyone planning to visit Ethiopia. The overall organization was highly professional, and my itinerary went perfectly smoothly. A special shoutout to my guide, Yihun, and my driver, Niko. They were an absolutely fantastic team and took excellent care of me from start to finish! Yihun is incredibly knowledgeable; he explained the deep and complex history of Ethiopia in a way that was both easy to understand and engaging. Niko is an excellent and careful driver, navigating the roads expertly while ensuring I was comfortable at all times. Most importantly, traveling alone in Ethiopia can seem challenging, but having Yihun and Niko with me made me feel 100% safe and secure throughout the entire trip. If you are coming to Ethiopia, I highly recommend booking with this company and specifically requesting Yihun as your guide and Niko as your driver. You will be in great hands!

Had a great time! Amazing views and our guide Abe was great and very knowledgeable! The lunch was also delicious and had an amazing view. The only think I would have liked was to stop at Entoto to see the view on the way back.

Abi and Abe were wonderful guides to the monastery and the Portuguese bridge. They were friendly and welcoming, the ride was comfortable and they answered all our questions. The tour even includes added local guides who were knowledgeable and helpful. The lunch is at a lovely spot with an amazing view of the canyon. Just a note that it is a long drive - no fault to the guides - but if you’re not used to being in a car for long periods of time, this is a heads-up!

The staff was very nice and we had a good conversation about Ethiopian history with the tour guide. Also, it is a good opportunity to explore the rural area outside the capital in Ethiopia.

The tour was great, they picked us up from hotel and the drive was smooth. The guides (abe and george) knew all the history of ethiopia and could provide context everywhere we went. Very friendly people and would recommend to everyone!

A really great trip that will be a highlight of my time in Addis Ababa. Dagi was a great guide who made sure everything ran smoothly and answered any questions we had. We got to see all the highlights, including the monastery and geladas, but the long-ish drive each way was a real insight into how many millions of Ethiopians live their lives, an experience that was really valuable to my overall trip and that I would not have gotten were it not for this tour taking me outside the Addis city centre.

We had a great experience with Abe and George, who were both very professional and good at their jobs. Abe is very knowledgable in all things Ethiopian and he knows a lot about the world too. I enjoyed learning from him and experience the monastery with him. The only thing with the tour is that there's a lot of driving involved -- it took over 3 hours to get to the monastery and we only got to see the monastery, do a short hike to Portuguese bridge, have lunch, and it was time go back. Nothing that the tour guide and driver could do, but just something to keep in mind. Perhaps consider a different tour but highly recommend Abe and George! :)

This was such a lovely trip! Abe and George were so fun to travel with. Super informative, knowledgeable, interesting, kind and helpful. And the trip itself was incredible to Debre Libanos, through amazing countryside, seeing Gelada monkeys and having lunch in one of the prettiest places I’ve ever been. Would strongly recommend the trip, and would go anywhere with Abe and George!

In my travel experience your luck of the draw of a tour guide can make or break your experience! I got lucky and was fortunate to have Niko as my guide and he guided me through a wonderful experience of learning, observing, and participation. I definitely recommend this tour you won't regret it.
