My boyfriend and I traveled for 3 weeks in Ethiopia. Because we decided to travel independently, we reached a point in which we were a little lost. At this point we received Alex's phone number. We hoped to get a few tips from Alex about the area we were in, but in the end Alex not only gave us info on the area we were stuck in, but helped us plan the whole rest of our trip. He gave us creative ideas on how we can realize the exact trip we had hoped for without compromising. Not only was Alex exceedingly professional he was also kind and caring, always checking up on us throughout our whole journey. Rarely do you meet someone who is willing to be so helpful and in our case we were super lucky because if it weren't for Alex our trip would have looked very different and we probably wouldnt have succeeded in doing it. So 100% Recommended, Thank you Alex for all your help and kindness. Eli and Doron

Wow is all I can say! The historical landmark of Lalibela was an unforgettable experience. Perfection is an understatement! Maereg was the perfect guide! He speaks great English and very responsive to emails! I got a response in less than 24 hours as they are in a different time zone so immediately if you ask me. He waited for me at the airport even though I was an hour late due to flight confusion on my end. He is extremely knowledgeable and gave me a deep understanding of the rock hewn churches. He is patient, kind and wonderful tour guide. Maereg answered all my questions and gave me more insight than I expected. Not only did he cover the history of the rock hewn churches but he also gave me an in depth history of Ethiopia itself. He has years of experience doing this and there is no other tour group I would choose! We got straight to the churches and I am still blown away by this experience I had to make a review to let others know of how wonderful Ethiopia and its history is! Friendly people and great tours you will love. I will return and use extraordinary tour group again!

This program offers tough but immensely rewarding trekking along the ridge that falls sheer to the plains far below. It’s not just the scenery (and altitude) that will leave you speechless, but also the excitement of sitting among a group of gelada monkeys, or watching magnificent walia ibex joust on rock ledges.

We had a wonderful day with Getnet's team in Debre Lebanos. They organised a trip for our entire group and everything worked just perfect. Excellent driver (driving through Ethiopia means something different than in Europe :)) and very knowledgeable guide. The price they offered was also competitive.

Simien Mountain and Danakil are two different landscapes, simien mountains are part of the Ethiopian Highlands. They are a World Heritage Site and include the Simien Mountains National Park. The mountains consist of plateaus separated by valleys and rising to pinnacles. Where as danakil is one of the most geologically active regions with three tectonic plates meeting at the Afar Triple Junction. When tectonic plates move apart like at Danakil, it creates lave lakes, hot springs, geysers and fissures in the ground. The rock-hewn churches of Lalibela in Ethiopia are the most extraordinary man-made sites in sub-Saharan Africa. Our tour is unique as it is well-arranged including "must visit" historic sites of Lalibela which we deliver all with Ethiopian hospitality and touch.

I've got the best possible service, as for me. I had a really good guide and great driver. He was very attentive: I did video on the way with opened windows and driver closed window for safety and said me I can continue to video street life. I liked traditional clothing market a lot: if you want to have really beautiful souvenir from Ethiopia, I think Shiromeda ( I'm not sure, if I wrote it correctly..) is the best possible place)) I really highly appreciative for the service I had. We visited Mercato market and I felt totally safe there: without a guide I would never go there. But with the guide it was very interesting and safe visit. The tour is flexible and it's great: you can choose what is interesting for you. We bought good coffee on the way and also I've tasted avocado and mango juice)) The owner of company is great and treated me in the best way)) Highly recommended Ethio Travel and Tours for your tours through Ethiopia and Addis.

Just in the end of a daunting 2020, we had an amazing tailor made tour with Daniel through the churches of Lalibela, the 2 clusters and Bete Yiorgis in the city and the further away older churches Bilbala Kirkos and Yemrehane Kristos (cave church). It was our second trip with Daniel and we wanted to focus on photographing priests. As a priest's son himself, Daniel knows all the priests of each church, all the nooks and crannies of the clusters and the best timings to see or avoid the mass and the crowds. Apart from the rock-hewn churches, expect a cultural trip as well to see and taste every Lalibela's secret. I have to say that Daniel is an excellent, experienced, flexible professional who understands his customers' needs and offers the most wholistic and inspiring experience.
