5.00We had an unforgettable trip with Ethio Travel and Tours exploring the Omo Valley, starting in Jinka and continuing all the way to Lake Turkana, followed by a fantastic visit to Harar. Everything was exceptionally well organized from start to finish. A special thanks to our driver Yosef, who was not only highly professional and knowledgeable but also friendly and reliable throughout the journey. We felt safe and comfortable in the new model Toyota Land Cruiser, which made the long drives smooth and enjoyable. Now I truly understand why so many travelers choose Ethio Travel and Tours. Their experience, attention to detail, and great staff make them stand out. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the unique and beautiful regions of Ethiopia!
Very good but could improve.

3.00All the experiences , locations , drivers and guides were great . The accommodation in Harar was very poor ! Hotel in Addis Ababa , a blittle better. The internal flights I thought were included in the price , so I was shocked when I arrived to take my first internal flight to realise none were booked ! Fortunately there were seats available .
Harar and Lalibela, places you must visit ❤️

5.00ETT has perfectly organised my trip. Their staff are super kind. The drivers are so great. Only their guide on Mursi tribe, Dassanech and Abuna Yemate are not proffessional. Others are very good. Lalibela is the place I found peace. I love Amhara people. Mike and Moges my guide are so kind. Staff at hotel Lalibela are sweet tender ❤️ Harar is so unique. The moslems are so tolerants. Harari traditional hause is so colourful and beautiful. Thank you Ethiopia...
