Lalibela, Axum, Danakil og Omo Valley 8 DAGER

Loved this vacation! We got hotels and flights and it was a great deal. We got the basic hotels but clean and all were nice with good beds and close to city centers.

Just finished the 8 day tour and honestly had the best time ever! The Ethio Travel and Tours travel team are so amazing and really helpful with sorting you out for work / travel plans, and Muller was the best tour guide ever. Can’t recommend this tour enough, loved every second!

In view of some comments, I had some concerns about booking with ETT. But finally everything went well, everything was very well organized! A wide variety of beautiful landscapes, experienced drivers and guides. There is so much to see, the stops are sometimes too short, you also have to face, especially during the excursion to Dallol and volcano, a certain lack of comfort but it is adventure!!!! Thanks you Sunight for your professionalism and for being there for me at anytime, thanks to you i had a great experience!

On day 2 when we were mistakenly sent to the Tigray cliff church, not Axum. A 200m high non-trivial free-climb along a cliff face with a ‘certain death as reward for any slip’ (their sales pitch) could not have been more inappropriate for a Type 2 diabetic with 2 children. None of us made it up, and the experience was traumatic. ETT offered a food tour, meal and day trip as compensation, but to actually go to Axum was another $150pp. No-one was there to meet us in Axum, so we made our way ETT’s office, got booked into a hotel, and were given a driver and guide the day. The next morning we met the driver again at the ETT office. He offered a day out to see the excavations at Yahe for $120. Cash. But this was a only a 15 min ‘tour’ - we were dumped back at the ETT office @10.30 am. Then we received multiple phone calls and texts from Elias demanding we pay for the trip a third time. Two of us got food poisoning in the Danakil, so ETT agreed to delay our flights to Omo by day. But they ‘forgot’, so on Xmas day we were stranded at Addis airport. Eventually ETT’s owner (Elias) put us up in their staff digs. Christmas dinner was a take away from Pizza Hut and being hounded by stray dogs in the backstreets of Addis. The promised cookery course, day trip and meal never materialised. Much like ETT’s airport pick-ups. What should have been the holiday of a lifetime was instead a nightmarish experience of dealing with unresponsive, dishonest, incompetent cockwombles; ETT.

The trip with Ethio Travel and Tours was excellent. They were very helpful and accommodated our every request, the travel destinations were also so great we really loved every thing about this trip.

We booked 8 days trip with Ethio Travel and Tours and it really was exceptional, the trip has amazing travel destinations. the drivers and the tour guides were also so amazing people which made the trip more interesting

We thoroughly enjoyed our entire trip. Our travel agent at this tour company worked diligently and patiently to design our ideal trip. We had lots of variables to deal with but they scheduled the trip according to our interest and Everyone was happy.

Let me start by saying this tour was a great experience for myself and my husband. I had been in Ethiopia some 40 years ago and was very surprised and delighted to see how much had changed .. for a better life. Ethiopia is now a modern 21st century country which brings with it a new set of challenges to Ethiopian society. The tour itself was fascinating - a mix of old and new, a conflagration of tourist hot spots and small city and village sites. ETT made the tour absolutely easy and comfortable through its attention to all details and preparedness to go a bit further in ensuring our Ethiopia visit was not just a tour but an experience. Around every corner was a new adventure! It was comforting to be met by company representatives at each stage of the our tour and special mention must be given to the efforts of Sefora and her excellent tour guiding and to Mr Zenebe for his excellent driving - at no time did we feel unsafe in the journey between cities and landmarks. We wish you and your team well and we will be back.

First we would like to thank you being so accommodating with us when we missed our flight. We really appreciate it and you were great to work with on scheduling and rescheduling our itinerary. Thank you so much!

This was a great, small group, well planned tour, a wonderful way to see so many fantastic sights in Ethiopia like the Omo valley, The rock hewn churches of Lalibela, The danakil depression and Axum. Being in a Toyota 4wd car which is comfortable vehicle had not only the advantage of easy access to small towns and more out of the way places, it also encouraged good interaction between travellers. Highly recommend, great value for money.
