Choose Liyu if you want an unforgettable, safe, and fantastic guide to Ethiopia.
5/5

Liyu Ethiopia Tours made our visit to Ethiopia unforgettable! Yhun, the manager, was in constant communication with us before and during our trip, keeping us up-to-date with local conditions. We booked a trip to Wenchi Crater and 2 days in Gondar through Liyu.

The trip to Wenchi was incredible. Early in the morning, our guide Oli, and the driver, picked us up from our hotel in Addis Ababa, and drove us the 3.5ish hours to Wenchi. We spent the morning hiking through the crater lake, taking in the natural beauty—this is something Yhun made sure to include in our itinerary after we expressed our desire to focus more on Ethiopia's natural wonders. Oli was a fantastic guide: he was very knowledgeable, kind, and quite funny. We enjoyed a traditional coffee ceremony, boat ride, and lunch before returning to Addis Ababa.

We had a similarly fantastic experience in Gondar. Yhun arranged our transport from our hotel to the airport, and arranged for transport in Gondar (flight costs were on our own). Yhun is very well connected with guides across Ethiopia. In Gondar, he introduced us to Alex and Grum. Alex led us on an excellent hike through Kosoye viewpoint, and Grum was a wonderful guide to Gondar. Yhun also arranged for all our airport transfers, which was certainly a welcome benefit.

In short, Yhun made sure that all our needs and wishes were tended to and that we felt at home (and safe!) while visiting Ethiopia. The prices were fair and reasonable, and we would not hesitate to choose Liyu Ethiopia Tours for our future visits.

Hugely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and tailored tour to our needs.
5/5

We (family of 5 with 3 teens) had a day time tour with Amanueal from Liyu tours during our stopover in Addis Ababa as part of the Ethiopian airlines.
We only had a few hours but we were treated to the main highlights and a wonderful pit stop at a great coffee place.
Amanueal was able to answer all our questions and had a huge knowledge of the history of his country.
Great and easy organising with the tour company considering we didn't know our hotel until the day before the tour.
Would thoroughly recommend.

The review below is the personal opinion of Kinga and not that of SafariBookings.
Very little knowledge
3/5

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.

A doer!
5/5

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.

Reliable, kind, knowledgeable and extremely professional
5/5

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....
