Very well organized tour !
Best way of visiting Ethiopia is a Tour organized by Simien Eco Tours. Our guide, David, spoke good French and was able to give us all explanations of the places we’ve been visiting.

Everything was organized to our satisfaction.
We went on a short trip to the Simien Mountains near Gondar. Everything was excellently organized – the pickups were always on time, and our guide, Abebaw Tilahun, provided us with a lot of interesting background information about the country and its people. Our driver also got us safely through the sometimes impassable terrain despite the heavy rains. Overall, a thoroughly successful tour that we can highly recommend!

Perfect Agency for Ethiopia
There were five of us travelling with Simien Eco Tours trip for a week in northern Ethiopia. Semera, Erta Ale, Danakil Depression, Dallol, Mekele and finally Lalibela. We felt well looked after the whole time and never felt unsafe for a second. In my opinion, Simien Eco Tours is the perfect agency for trips to Ethiopia.

Discover the marvels of Ethiopia with a great team
Our trip was amazing. We spent 2 weeks travelling and exploring new places from the North to the South of Ethiopia. Our guides, Mareg (for Addis Abeba) and Abebaw were fantastic: friendly, knowledgeable and at all times committed to making this a wonderful experience. Mareg took us on a fascinating one day tour of Addis which included the Shola market and the spiritual sanctuary on the Entoto Mountains, a marvelous spot of peace and prayer away from the hustle and bustle of the capital.
Our guide Abebaw Tilahun was an amazing one: mediator, interpreter, friend. He was always helpful and introduced us to some great culinary traditions of Ethiopia as well as to the important stories and legends surrounding Lalibela, the role of the Christianity and the beautiful wildlife (marabou storks, hippos, crocodiles, flamingoes, egrets, ostrichs, fish eagles, gelada monkeys, Colombo monkeys, and many more). The accommodation we had was generally good or very good, in some cases quite charming! The information provided by guides and operators were always complete and helpful. Last but not least: our drivers too were great: Atakilt was crucial to make it in time to Bole airport and navigating the busy streets of Addis, Abreraw drove us safely in Bahir Dar and the North, in Lalibela we had the friendly Derebe and for the South the amazing Bekele. I highly recommend Simien Eco Tours to anyone who wants to discover such a great and beautiful country. They have the expertise and great people to make this a truly memorable experience.

fantastic
I wanted to go to Ethiopia with my dog, and the agency's professionalism allowed me to make my dream come true. It was a wonderful experience: I saw beautiful places, met fantastic people, and above all, I had 24-hour assistance from my guide, Girum. The hotels were all excellent, obviously compared to Ethiopian standards. The food was excellent, and for car transfers, the drivers were always excellent, especially Gigi.

Very nice team taking care about each individual, you can really trust and relax!
I felt very comfortable from the beginning, the whole team was very friendly, took care of everything, was experienced and gave the impression to really work as a team! The tents were very good, the driver prudent, the cook was excellent and our guide really perfect, friendly, he knew everything, had a careful eye on the whole group and team and really likes to work with people.
The team also handled problems very flexible and in a very smooth way. The tour itself was full of different, beautiful aspects of south ethiopia, from the mountains, Coffee, agriculture and animals to salt lake and Hippos, seeing nature and meeting people. Two weeks full of beautiful impressions and experiences! Thanks you!!!
