What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Danakil is one of the most geologically active regions with three tectonic plates meeting at the Afar Triple Junction. When tectonic plates move apart like at Danakil, it creates lave lakes, hot springs, geysers and fissures in the ground. Our tour is unique as it is well-arranged including "must visit" historic sites of Lalibela and Axum together with the breathtaking landscape in Tigray which we deliver all with Ethiopian hospitality and touch.

          A great insightof Addis with a professional guide.
          Although we were notably delayed coming out of the airport, our guide, Eyob, and driver, Tommy, waited for us to begin our city tour. It is well worth having a guide, as Addis Ababa is definitely a place you don’t want to wander about alone. The guide was professional, knowledgeable, informative, and flexible. The visit to the Addis Ababa Museum (entry included in the participation fee) was impressive and lasted a full two hours, which passed unnoticed. Although the program also included a stop at Mount Entoto (entry fee included), we did not stop but drove past, getting only a brief glimpse. As we were tired from our journey from the Seychelles, we did not object and opted instead to visit the old train station for coffee. Note that coffee or tea was not included in the price. In summary, we gained a wonderful insight into Addis Ababa, thanks to our tour guides. That was exactly the goal we had in signing up for the tour.

          Driver is required in Addis
          The concierge at our hotel arranged a driver for us. We paid 50USD for 3 hours. Driving in Addis is hectic - the roads are very congested. I would recommend getting a driver to get around.

          Great location, poor operator
          I booked the 2 days, 1 night tour to the Danakil Depression as this was all the time I had. I was assured this was ok and that I would still see everything worth seeing, and, to be fair, I did. It’s a great place and well worth going to. The only problem is that the operator was shocking, with horrific planning and poor service. I did not have a guide, just a driver that spoke limited English (despite being told I would have one). The driver, to his credit, was excellent at his job of driving. He just wasn’t actually supposed to guide but ended up doing this. The first day was also spent predominantly in the car (12 hours), mainly because we went way out of the way to meet up with a guide that never materialised. The whole planning by ETT travel was poor and when I complained I received no response, which is why I’m writing such a poor review. My recommendation is to definitely go to the Danakil Depression but try to find an alternative provider.

          The ETT tourism agency in Addis Ababa is, in my opinion, the best agency in the country because all the services they provided were the best possible, the equipment is good, the guides are very polite and very fun, our trip was fantastic because of this agency, the price is also very good, I highly recommend this agency.

          Omo Valley
          ETT is an amazing travel agency, I think it must be the best agency in all of Ethiopia. We went to Omo Valley and several other cities. We visited the tribes in the south of the country and the churches high in the mountains. The tour guides are fantastic. They were a lot of fun and made our trip incredible, I highly recommend them!

          The ETT agency in Addis Ababa is a fantastic agency. We had all the support we needed to make our trip. The guides are good-humored and fun. We had an excellent experience in Dallol, and in all the destinations we went to around the country. I really recommend it

          Experience is so good.
          Ethio Tour and Travel helped me realize my dream of hiking in the Simien Mountains and exploring the incredible rock hewn churches of lalibela.The treeeking experience in the Simiens was phenomenal breathtaking views diverse wildlife (we saw Gelada baboons!) and challenging bug rewarding trails.I cannot recommended them enough for an unforgettable Ethiopian.

          Well Organized this tour.
          I recently returned from a 12 day trip to Ethiopia with ethio tour and travel that included visits to the Simien Moutains, Danakil Depression (a quick 3 day trip with a large group), and Lalibela.The highlighs were definitely the stunning views during our Simien Mountains hike and witnessing the surreal landscapes of the Danakil Depression.Overall the trip well organized and meet most of my expectations.

          Great.
          The trek up to abuna yemata guh church was challenging but worth every step, and our guide haben expertly navigated the terrain and the local customs.Ethio tour and travel provided an authentic and unforgettable adventure.Highly recommended for anyone seeking to experience the raw beauty and history of northern Ethiopia!
