Excellent tour guide + driver, well worth every penny!
I had one full day in Addis Ababa before flying on to Cape Town, so I decided to book this tour to make the most of my short stay. It turned out to be an excellent decision.
My guide, Lamesgn, and driver, Eshetu, picked me up from Hotel Lobelia in Bole promptly in the morning. As it was low season, I ended up being the only guest on the tour, which made the experience feel very personal and relaxed.
Our first stop was a traditional coffee house where I saw coffee beans being roasted for the first time. I was amazed to discover that coffee beans start off greenish rather than brown! The hostess also burned frankincense, whose aroma mingled with the coffee and created a wonderful atmosphere.
Next came Mercato, the sprawling market district. I quickly realised why having a guide was essential here. Lamesgn explained the history of the area, including the Italian influence behind the name "Mercato", and helped me navigate what would otherwise have been an overwhelming maze of shops and street sellers.
We then visited the National Museum of Ethiopia, where I saw Lucy. It is hard to describe the feeling of standing in front of remains that are around 3.2 million years old. It was genuinely humbling and one of the highlights of my trip.
Afterwards, we went to Entoto Park, where there are wonderful views overlooking Addis Ababa. It was fascinating hearing about the city, its seasons and daily life while looking out across the capital.
The entire day felt very well paced, with enough time at each stop and no feeling of being rushed.
I would especially like to thank Lamesgn for his excellent local knowledge, clear explanations and warm personality. He was informative throughout the day but also friendly and easy to talk to, which made the experience feel much more personal. Eshetu was an excellent driver, navigating Addis traffic with complete calm and reliability, and he was chatty and engaging whenever the opportunity arose. Together they made my short stay in Addis Ababa far richer and more memorable than I had expected.

Trust, Professionalism, and an Amazing Ethiopian Adventure
I had an unforgettable experience traveling with Ethio Top Land Tours. As a solo traveler, I faced difficulties making advance payments because international bank transfers are very complicated in my country. When I explained my situation to Lamesgn, the owner, he showed incredible trust and kindness by confirming my booking and allowing me to pay the full tour cost upon arrival in Ethiopia.
During my two-month journey across Africa, I also encountered problems paying visa fees for Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa, and Uganda. Once again, Lamesgn and the Ethio Top Land Tours team went above and beyond by using their own card to pay the visa fees on my behalf. This level of trust, support, and professionalism is something I have never experienced before, and I am deeply grateful.
When I arrived in Ethiopia, the team welcomed me warmly and made me feel like family from the very beginning. My tour started in Addis Ababa, and I stayed at the Capital Hotel, which was very comfortable and offered excellent service. Over the next 13 days, I visited incredible destinations including Lalibela, Abune Yemata, and the Omo Valley. Every part of the trip was perfectly organized, and the experiences were truly unforgettable.
The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing Ethiopia’s history, culture, and traditions. The landscapes, ancient churches, tribal communities, and cultural experiences exceeded all my expectations.
To make the experience even more special, the team invited me to a farewell dinner at a traditional Ethiopian restaurant before my departure. It was the perfect ending to an amazing journey.
I would like to express my sincere thanks to Lamesgn for believing in me and helping me throughout the entire process. His trust, honesty, and dedication made my trip possible. I highly recommend Ethio Top Land Tours to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and caring tour company in Ethiopia.
Thank you, Lamesgn, and thank you to the entire Ethio Top Land Tours team. I will never forget this wonderful journey and hope to return to Ethiopia again in the future.

Thank You Lamesgn for an Amazing Ethiopian Experience, Exceptional Tour Organization and Wonderful M
I am visiting Ethiopia for the second time, and once again I am deeply impressed by this beautiful country. Last year I traveled solo through the southern part of Ethiopia, and this year I returned with my family for a two-week journey covering Bahir Dar, Gondar, Simien Mountains, Lalibela, and the Danakil Depression.
We had an unforgettable experience. Everything was well organized and ran smoothly from start to finish. I would especially like to thank you Lamesgn for arranging such a professional itinerary. Last year before the trip, I compared several tour operators, but none of them were as well prepared and detailed as his plan. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into every part of the journey.
I traveled to more than 120 countries, I can honestly say this is one of the best-organized itineraries I have ever experienced. Lamesgn is very kind, young, and always quick to respond, which made the whole planning process easy and stress-free.
My family and I are extremely happy with the experience and truly appreciate the entire team who contributed to making this trip so special. We are leaving Ethiopia with wonderful memories and a deep respect for this historic and spiritual country.
We highly recommend Ethiopia to our friends and anyone who loves meaningful travel experiences. Thank you once again to the whole team for an unforgettable journey.
