Summary:
Phil and Sam laid on a great tour that took me to all the incredible sights that Asmara has to offer. I liked it so much that I joined a second tour of the rural areas the next day. I would also advise that Phil can also book hotel accommodation for you as well as arrange Visa on Arrival both of which can remove alot of hassle when visiting Eritrea.
