Our trip to Ethiopia with Essence Ethiopia Tours was absolutely unforgettable! Mr. Tsehaynew Akanie , our planner, went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of the trip was perfectly arranged. From the very beginning, he was attentive, thoughtful, and always available to help with any questions. It was really a very good experience. Itinerary and budget was really good.
The accommodations were top-notch, with clean and hygienic hotels that exceeded our expectations. The food quality was also exceptional, with a great variety of options to suit every taste.
Our drivers for Danakil Depression and visit explore tribe and city tour was wonderful throughout the trip. They were professional, friendly, and made us feel completely safe on the roads. They made sure we were comfortable at all times, and his punctuality was greatly appreciated.

Excellent!!
I went on a tour of the Omo Valley. It was a great trip to experience the real nature of Africa while looking around various tribes. My driver Famish, who helped me in Zinka, did his best. Thanks to this, my trip became more fruitful. I was very impressed by the travel agency's sincere attitude toward customers from the beginning to the end. If you want to really feel Ethiopia and Africa, I recommend you to go on a tour of the Omo Valley.

Professional, responsive, client-oriented

Travel Review – Spain, June 2025
I just returned from an unforgettable trip to Spain, and I can't help but share my deep gratitude for the experience. It was 15 unique days, filled with beauty, excitement, and details curated with exceptional care. It wasn't just a trip… it was a transformative experience.
From the very beginning, the organizing agency demonstrated a level of professionalism, closeness, and attention to detail that I've rarely seen. Each stage of the itinerary was lovingly planned, balancing culture, relaxation, gastronomy, art, and moments of emotional connection. Everything worked out perfectly: on-time transfers, charming accommodations, soulful guided tours, and local experiences that made us feel part of the country.
But if there's someone who deserves special recognition, it's Sun, the soul behind this adventure. Her passion, generosity, sensitivity, and commitment to our well-being made each day better than the last. He was attentive to everything, always with a smile, resolving unexpected issues before we even noticed, and giving his all in every detail. Thank you, Sun, for your humanity, for your excellence, and for making this trip forever etched in our hearts.
I'll be back. And I'll be back with you. Because when you find a professional who puts their heart and soul into what they do, you need look no further.
