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.

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.

Exceptional Service, Outstanding Itinerary, Lifetime Memories
Before traveling to Ethiopia, we contacted three different tour companies to arrange a 21-day trip covering the country's main highlights. Although they all sent us itineraries and quotations, none of them truly matched what we were looking for. We wanted a well-planned, detailed, and personalized experience.
Fortunately, we found Mr. Lamesgn, the owner of Ethio Top Land Tours, and from our very first conversation, we knew we had made the right choice. He created an outstanding itinerary that exceeded all of our expectations. every single detail was carefully planned from the places we would visit, departure times, driving hours, and altitude information, to the activities at each destination. The most impressive part was the beautifully designed tour map, which made it so easy to understand our entire journey before we even arrived in Ethiopia.
Mr. Lamesgn truly listened to our interests and customized the tour perfectly to suit us. He combined culture, photography, birdwatching, nature, and adventure into one unforgettable experience. His passion, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel confident that we had chosen the best company.
Throughout the planning process, he answered all of our questions quickly and patiently. During the tour, our guide and driver were exceptional friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and always attentive to our needs. From the warm welcome on our first day until our farewell at the end of the trip, we were treated with genuine hospitality and kindness. Everything was perfectly organized, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the beauty of Ethiopia.
This was more than just a holiday it was an unforgettable journey filled with incredible memories, breathtaking landscapes, fascinating cultures, and wonderful people. We are deeply grateful to Mr. Lamesgn and his amazing team for making our dream trip a reality.
We have already recommended Ethio Top Land Tours to our friends, who have been eagerly waiting to hear about our experience. After seeing our photos and hearing our stories, they are planning to visit Ethiopia next year, and we will confidently recommend this company to them as well.
Thank you, Mr. Lamesgn and the entire Ethio Top Land Tours team, for your dedication, kindness, and excellent service. We already miss you, your wonderful team, and your beautiful country. We hope to return to Ethiopia one day, and when we do, there is no question that we will travel with Ethio Top Land Tours again.
