We transited in Addis Ababa suddenly without any plan, the city tour promised by the airline also did not happen, thankfully we contacted the hotel to arrange a short city tour and we were introduced to our guide Yonas and his friend. The destination and time of the city tour can be flexible according to request. We booked a 2-hour city tour at an affordable price, they took us around to the landmarks and took pictures at Piasa and the victory memorial then went shopping for souvenirs. Yonas was very friendly and helpful, we were very happy with this impromptu trip. Hopefully we can come back and have more time to explore Addis Ababa 🫶 Pat NatpatTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

In September 2023, my mum and I had the incredible opportunity to visit Ethiopia’s Omo Valley with Best Ethiopian Travel Service — and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived, everything was beautifully organized. The landscapes of the Omo Valley were absolutely stunning — colorful tribes, dramatic scenery, delicious food, and a deep sense of tradition everywhere we went. Every day felt like an adventure, and yet we also felt completely comfortable and safe, which was very important for us as two women traveling on our own. The highlight of our trip was definitely our guide, Yonas. He was knowledgeable, kind, professional, and so much fun to be around. He made sure we were always well taken care of, answered all our endless questions with patience, and shared so much about the local culture that we felt like we weren’t just visiting — we were connecting. His energy and positivity made every day even more enjoyable. The entire travel service was excellent — from accommodations to transportation, everything ran smoothly. We were able to really relax and just enjoy the beauty around us. We also appreciated how flexible and attentive our guide was to our needs and interests. We cannot recommend Best Ethiopian Travel Service enough! If you’re thinking of exploring Ethiopia, especially the Omo Valley, don’t hesitate to book with them. Thank you again for such an unforgettable journey! Ryan TorresTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I had an amazing time in Ethiopia. From the landscapes, tours, and visiting all the tribes we were truly in awe.
