5/5

We took a half-day tour with Essence Ethiopia Tours; the service was excellent, the car was clean, and the driver was fantastic.

Amazing tour of Lalibela churches!
5/5

Essence Ethiopia was amazing from start to finish, completely turnkey support from the airport to the hotel to an amazing tour guide to show us the incredible churches of Lalibela, with a deep understanding and appreciation of the history of them which was fascinating and deepened our appreciation.

Thank you!

Fast response from owner and guides were professional
5/5

Whatsapp reply prior and during the trip were fast. During our one week trip, we went Lalibela, Gondar and Harar so there were many flights and logistics involved but all went smoothly. All the guides were professional and took great care of us. Thank you

Responsive, thoughtful and genuinely committed to delivering a great travel experience.
5/5

I chose Essence Ethiopia after comparing a number of operators, and I’m very pleased that I did.

From the moment I booked, Tsehaynew was responsive, professional and proactive. He regularly checked in before my arrival, after flights and throughout the trip to ensure I had connected with my drivers and guides, which gave me a great deal of confidence as a solo traveller.

The guides and drivers were outstanding. They were knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely passionate about sharing Ethiopia.

What impressed me most was how Essence responded to feedback. When I raised some concerns about accommodation, Tsehaynew listened, took the comments seriously and upgraded my hotel immediately. That willingness to listen and take meaningful action says a great deal about the company.

My only suggestion would be to continue reviewing accommodation options and better communicate what travellers can expect in some areas, as standards can vary.

People are often quick to leave reviews when something goes wrong, but not as quick to recognise excellent service. Overall, I believe choosing Essence Ethiopia was the right decision, and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking to experience this remarkable country.

Excellent organization and unforgettable experiences in Ethiopia
5/5

We visited Ethiopia from Turkey and had an unforgettable journey through Lalibela, Danakil Depression, Erta Ale Volcano, Omo Valley and Harar.
Some of these destinations are among the most remote and challenging places to visit in Ethiopia, but thanks to the excellent organization and professionalism of the team, everything went smoothly from beginning to end.
The guides were knowledgeable, friendly and always ready to help. They responded quickly to every question we had and solved every issue immediately. We were especially impressed by how efficiently they managed transportation and logistics under difficult conditions.
Even when our plans changed unexpectedly, they reacted very quickly and professionally. They adjusted the itinerary without any problems and helped us with flight ticket changes and other arrangements in a very responsive and efficient way. Their flexibility and ability to adapt to changing circumstances made a huge difference to our trip.
The entire journey was perfectly organized, and we always felt safe and well taken care of. The service offered excellent value for money, combining professionalism, flexibility and genuine hospitality.
We highly recommend this company to anyone planning to explore Ethiopia. Thank you for making our Ethiopian adventure so memorable. We hope to come back again someday!
