I had a wonderful half-day tour in Addis Ababa with Liyu Tours, truly an amazing experience! The tour guide, Olinol, was very knowledgeable, polite, and friendly. He shared so many interesting details about Ethiopia’s history and culture, You can really tell he loves what he does and takes pride in showing visitors the real Ethiopia. Also, Mr. Liyu is honestly one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet on your trip. If you choose to go with them, trust me, you’ll be making the right decision. It’s an unforgettable experience that lets you see the country on a much deeper level. They truly focus on authenticity, making you feel like a local, not just a visitor. And if you’re a solo female traveler, don’t look anywhere else, you’ll genuinely feel like you’re with family when you choose them. ***HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ***

We had a great time on this tour. Abe was very knowledgeable and clearly excited to share his country with us. We had to cut it short due to our flight schedule. I would have loved to have more time with him. We greatly appreciated Awet's driving. It was during rush hour and he maneuvered it seamlessly. I really recommend this tour and Abe and Awet. Thank you 😊
A trip so wonderful we just had to book another!

I booked an Addis Ababa tour with Liyu, and Olí was an exceptional tour guide! We loved the tour, organization, and guide so much, we booked another tour with them days later, this time to Debre Libanos monastery and the Portuguese Bridge. We saw two groups of baboons which made our hearts so happy. If we return, we would definitely do another tour with Liyu. Thanks Olí and thanks to the whole team !
Liyu Tour was the best choice

Josi did a great job! I'd recommend asking for him when you do your tour because if you get him, you'll be blown away by all he knows. He's smart, explains things clearly, and pays attention to what the customer needs. Our tour had lots of rain so he adjusted on the fly and we still did tons of stuff. You can tell he loves his job and showing off Addis!
