Great Service and Amazing Experience in Addis Ababa & Debre Libanos - I had a wonderful 2-day trip in Ethiopia visiting Addis Ababa and Debre Libanos with Aman Ethiopia Tours and Travel. After I arrived in Addis Ababa, I was picked up from the airport and dropped at my hotel smoothly. Around 11:00 AM, they picked me up again for an Addis Ababa city sightseeing tour, which was very well organized and enjoyable. Abe was my guide for both days, and he was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience feel relaxed and personal. On the second day, I visited Debre Libanos, and it was a beautiful and peaceful experience. Everything was well timed, and I never felt rushed. Their price was a bit higher compared to some other companies, but the service was truly worth it. The tour included two lunches and a traditional Ethiopian coffee experience, which was a great touch and made the trip even more special. Thank you, Aman Ethiopia Tours and Travel, for a memorable experience. I highly recommend

Culture and history of Ethiopia in one day - Abe and Abi were extremely nice and explained with detail and patience insights about Ethiopian history and culture in a way I could have never achieved by myself. Very recommended program for one day when doing a stop in Addis Ababa. Thanks again!

A must when in Addis!!! - Excellent day tour led by the wonderful George and Abe. It began at the palace built by Menelik II then to the Ethnological Museum where we learned about Ethiopia's diverse cultures and Hallie Selassie II, and finally the National Museum which does an amazing breakdown of human activity in Ethiopia and across Africa. Seeing Lucy in person is surreal. Along the way we ate at the traditional Addis Ababa museum and got Ethiopian coffee which was delicious. Our tour guides were gracious and knew what they were talking about! I left the day more informed and appreciative I booked the tour!!!

Knowledgeable and Helpful Guide - Packs a lot of sightseeing in one tour. Dagim is very knowledgeable and helpful. I lost my luggage and Dagim helped me negotiate some essential purchases in the Mercato. We also had an authentic lunch at a local dive.

3 Day Tour Ethiopia- Lifetime Experience! - I spent 3 days in Addis Ababa before heading to Kenya to visit family, my first time visiting Ethiopia. I wanted to learn of the rich history and culture there. I reached out to Aman Ethiopia tours and wow they did not disappoint. The communication and professionalism was top tier, honest work ethic and integrity impeccable. My tour guide Abe reminded me of one of my College History Professors, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Ethiopia. I did the city tour on day 1, day 2 was given a personal driver to drive me around (had to check out a spa and do some shopping lol), day 3 was just wow, out in the country side visited the amazing Adadi Maryam Rock Hewn Church, Tiya Stele, and the Melka Kunture Archaeological Sites, all were breathtaking experiences!! Thank you Abe and The Aman tour team for helping create a life time memorable experience, looking forward to coming back soon!

“An Amazing Tour Experience with a Dynamic Guide!” - I had a wonderful day tour with Mr. Reta. He is a young and dynamic driver-guide who made the entire experience enjoyable. He explained everything clearly and made the journey interesting by showing all the important places along the way. I truly appreciated his professionalism, knowledge, and friendly attitude. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable tour!

Half Day City Tour - Tour was conducted by Abe Tola. All included attractions were visited and all were worthwhile. Abe's English was not the best but otherwise was an excellent guide. Abe was very knowledgeable and conducted an excellent tour of the National Museum, Entolo Hills, and the Merkato Market.

Interesting sight seeing - Joseph was a fine guide with knowledge about his country. He was a gentle guide from the pickup at the airport until the drop off at the hotel. The city tour is a must if ever someone is visiting Eddis .The palace, the national museum and the view of the city from the mountain plus major roads that shows how this city is .I recommend this excursion.

Best city tour of Addis Ababa - This tour is a great way to see the city and the museums either if you are here for a short or extended period of time. The guide Kalab was very knowledgeable of the exhibits in the museum and about Ethiopian culture. Taking me to the national, ethnological museums. Along with a view of the city and the largest market in Africa, the Merkato. . Was also very friendly and could talk about any subject. Would highly recommend this tour.
