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

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!

Excellent, reliable, and professionally organised, with knowledgeable guides and outstanding support
5/5

We booked our tour to Addis Ababa & City Tour, Gondar – Simien Mountains National Park, and Lalibela through Essence Ethiopia Tours, and they were excellent throughout.

From the knowledgeable tour guides to the overall organisation and constant monitoring of our trip, everything was handled very professionally and smoothly.

A big shout-out to Tsehaynew for the excellent coordination and support throughout our journey. We would highly recommend Essence Ethiopia Tours to anyone planning a trip to Ethiopia.

Like documentary
5/5

a special and eye-opening experience in Ethiopia. For a few days, it honestly felt like I was inside a documentary.

The itinerary was quite relaxed, so the trip never felt too rushed or exhausting.

my guide Reshid was super friendly and helpful, always helping with our bags and taking lots of photos for us.

The hotel was special but has management issues. Overall, I really enjoyed the trip .

Excellent performance in planning, executing and support! Highly recommended!
5/5

We have very good experience with EET in helping us to plan our trip to Ethiopia, organizing all local logistics, guides, accommodation etc. and being available, in case problems had occurred.
We have been in Addis Abeba, Lalibela, Gondar, Semien N.P., the Danakil area, Omo valley, Harar...
All went smoothely!
Tsehaynew was always available to help or giving advice!

We can highly recommend EET, if you plan a trip to Ethiopia!
