10 days in Ethiopia: an experience of a lifetime with Liyu Ethiopia Tours
Ethiopia is an incredible country, full of contrasts and deep cultural experiences. The rock-hewn churches of Lalibela are simply stunning – faith and history are tangible here. The visit to the Omo Valley was a real journey through time. The way of life and traditions of the tribes living here touched me deeply. And the Danakil Depression is as if it were not on this planet – the colors, the salt lakes and the heat are both extreme and beautiful.
Enjoying the wonders of Ethiopia with such a well-organized program was a real gift. Our tour guide was extremely prepared, attentive and friendly. You could feel that he did his job with his heart and soul.

Wonderful Ethiopia
Ethiopia
It was a completely unknown and distant country for me. When I had the opportunity to travel here, I didn't think about it for a minute, go for it. Its area is 12 times larger than Hungary. Its population is around 130 million. More than 80 ethnic groups live here. And the rest and the rest. These are the dry facts.
But I was given:
· to see the lights of Addis under the evening sky,
· to wander through the thousand-year-old temples of Lalibela,
· to see the improbable colors of sunrise reflected in the salt desert,
· to travel for hours on the endless and at the same time incomprehensibly diverse volcanic landscape,
· to rise and fall between 2,500 meters above sea level and 120 meters below sea level,
· to experience the 47-degree heat - which can be 70 degrees in summer - when I sweated, the salt and sand stuck to me while the only way to clean myself was with a wet towel,
· to sleep on a mattress under a starry sky,
· to see the endless poverty of nomadic people, but they cling to their traditions and do not move to areas that seem more habitable to me
· to live the selfless helpfulness,
· meeting tribes, getting a glimpse into their everyday lives,
All this in complete safety.
Thank you for that!

genuine, and deeply knowledgeable, they make you feel safe, welcomed, and inspired.
I had a wonderful half-day tour in Addis Ababa with Liyu Tours, truly an amazing experience!
The tour guide, Olinol, was knowledgeable, polite, and friendly. He shared so many interesting details about Ethiopia’s history and culture, I learned so much from him throughout the tour. And Mr. Liyu is one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet on your trip.
If you choose to go with them, trust me, you’ll be making the right decision. It’s an unforgettable experience that lets you see the country on a much deeper level. They truly focus on authenticity, making you feel like a local, not just a visitor.
And if you’re a solo female traveler, don’t look anywhere else, you’ll genuinely feel like you’re with family when you choose Liyu Tours.

I had an amazing experience with Liyu Ethiopia Tour and Travel. Their communication was always clear and timely, and every detail of our trip was organized with care. Our guide, Yhun, made the entire journey unforgettable with his knowledge, warmth, humor, and impressive problem-solving skills. We always felt safe, supported, and genuinely welcomed. The tour delivered exceptional value — we saw and learned so much more than we ever expected. Reliable, professional, and driven by real passion for Ethiopia. Highly recommended to anyone wanting an authentic and meaningful adventure.

Ten unforgettable days in Ethiopia
Etiopia is my 86th visited country. Our group of ten girls and one men has chosen Liyu Ethiopian Tours as one of my friends recommended me Yhun Ejigu. I am usually sceptic reading reviews this and that one is the best but I can guarantee Yhun is the best with abilities you can not learn in schools. Although he can not understand Hungarian he could read sighns on our face and our bodylanguage and reacted immediately. Ethiopia is safe, wonderful, heart touching, a must to see. We will never forget our memories and Liyu Ethiopian Tours, without them the ten spent days wouldn’t be so fantastic that it was. We are very thankful.

The tour operator shared his deep knowledge and love for Ethiopia with hunor and heart.
Liyu Ethiopia Tours & Travel has the perfect team to make you fall in love with Africa — especially with Ethiopia’s ancient culture, breathtaking nature, and fascinating tribes.
Our 10-day tour was not only perfectly organized but also thoughtfully tailored to our needs. The guides were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and had a great sense of humor.
The drivers were kind and professional, and we felt safe throughout the entire journey.
Traveling with Liyu Ethiopia Tours was pure joy — full of adventure, unforgettable experiences.
We came home with thousands of photos — but even more, with beautiful memories and new friends. It was the trip of a lifetime!

Liyu - more than a tour and travel company
Having been let down at 7am on the day of a tour by another provider, I signed up to do a cooking class. This was so worthwhile. It is not simply about just the food, you get a glimpse into the life and living of the inhabitants of Addis. Liyu Ethiopia Tours were excellent hosts.
I was collected from my hotel at 10am, communication was excellent. A young gentleman called Oli collected me from my hotel with a driver. For young man his knowledge of food, ingredients and Ethiopian food was extraordinary, and really added to my experience.
In summary a tour round Sola market to walk through the food quarter, which is really insightful and then to his family home for a simply brilliant time learning how to cook with the ingredients we had just purchased. The watchful of Gran was a real bonus too.
I cannot speak too highly of this. Book this tour for a real experience above and beyond cooking.

Reliable, kind, knowledgeable and extremely professional
This is my second time traveling with Yhun from Liyu agency. After booking an extremely successful trip to the north of Ethiopia, this time we toured Addis. Yhun knows all the less-visited spots, and can accommodate a visit in both rain and sunshine. He is very pleasant, extremely reliable and I wholeheartedly recommend him. But I won't tell you all the sector places he took me- you have to come and find out for yourselves....

A doer!
What Liyu and his team did to me during my short visit to Danakil depression on a very short notice from my end was amazing. None of the promises were fake and delivery was totally excellent with a great supporting team and guys would highly recommend to anyone.
Very little knowledge
Coffee and lunch experience were nice.
A thing to do with Addis and history was not informative, I was reading what was written in the museum. I understand it was Sunday but there are few things to see in Addis which are outdoors. I think very much depends on the tour guide you get.
I hope they will improve the service going forward.
