5.00I booked a 7 day cultural tour of Omo valley tribes with Simien Mountains tours and was extremely satisfied with both the professionalism and quality of the tour. The booking and planning process was very efficient with expert advice from Alex the owner. His knowledge of Ethiopia was amazing . He responded almost immediately and nothing was a problem. Kala who was my tour guide throughout the trip was born in the tribal area and local knowledge was excellent which made the trip more entertaining. Kala my guide picked me up me at the airport and booked me to the hotel From the beginning, he felt like a friend. Next day I met the Owner Alex of Simien Mountains Tours tours and he helped me customize all aspects of my tour, the way I wanted it, and he also gave excellent food, hotels and sights recommendations. He did not take me to any tourist traps as per my request and instead gave me an authentic experience. I did many things that a lot of visitors probably never get to do (such as eat at a local village restaurant, drink and party in the local bars.till late always accompanied by Kala and the driver. They was there for me at all times, and was very accommodating. Nothing was a problem. Alex came to see me on the last day and refunded some money for a Hotel upgrade which I paid for and treated me to a evening meal and entertainment at a cultural restaurant before taking me to the airport. I hope to book with them when I come back in September to tour the Northern areas .The price was reasonable, as well. Simien Mountains Tours was a great choice that made my trip memorable and stress-free. I highly recommend them! you could reach out to Alex on whatsapp at this number+251911904792 big thanks goes To Alex and the whole Team at Simien Mountains Tours
