Amazing Experience with a great Guide - I had a wonderful experience traveling in Ethiopia. The tour company arranged everything perfectly, and our guide Gashaw, went above and beyond to make the trip memorable. His knowledge, kindness, and professionalism made all the difference. Our visit to the Afar region and the Danakil Depression was a true highlight its otherworldly landscapes, salt flats, and volcanic scenery made the journey unforgettable, and Gashaw ensured we felt safe, comfortable, and well informed the entire time. I truly appreciate their hard work and highly recommend them to anyone visiting Ethiopia.

An unforgettable adventure! - Yohannes LA An unforgettable adventure! Walk in Ethiopia organized an amazing trip to the Danakil Depression. The guides were knowledgeable, safety-focused, and friendly. The landscapes—lava lakes, salt flats, and colorful sulfur fields—were beyond anything I imagined. Walk in Ethiopia Tour and Travel transformed what could have been a daunting destination into a well-managed, enriching, and unforgettable adventure. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking to explore Ethiopia with confidence and authenticity. For anyone considering a journey to the Afar Danakil Depression or beyond, Walk Ethiopia Tour and Travel is the company I would strongly endorse for a safe, professional, and truly memorable experience.

Ripped off by the vendor. A no show at the airport. - The vendor lied and cheated me. A real scam. Never showed up on the first day of the tour to pick me up from the hotel at 6 am. Contacted the vendor through the hotel staff. Was told the tour had been rescheduled for the next day on the 24th of November. A driver picked me up from the hotel at 4:30 am, took me to the airport, charged an additional $185 cash for the airline ticket, and the tour guide never showed up to meet me at the airport so I did not board the plane. The TSA agents assisted by trying to call the vendor with no answer. I went back to the hotel. I have had to rent a room for 3 additional days. The airline ticket was to Mekele instead of Semera as outlined in the itinerary. Please do not pay this vendor. Please return my money for the tour to my original form of payment. I travel by myself and this experience was scary. My personal safety was jeopardized.
