Incredible Day Trip with Yihun and Sisay! - We had an amazing experience exploring the Tiya Stele and the Cave Churches of Adadi Maryam. Our guide, Yihun, was incredibly knowledgeable, providing fascinating insights into the history and culture of the area. Sisay, our driver, was professional and navigated the roads with ease. Together, they made this day tour truly unforgettable. Highly recommend this duo for anyone visiting Addis Ababa!

A great day - Abreham and Sisay from Aman Tours ensured I had a great day. Sisay drove with skill and consideration, and Abreham was knowledgeable and tailored the tour to what I wanted. A really delightful day getting to see a little of Ethiopia. I highly recommend these two as tour guides.

Debre, libanos & blue Nile gorge - Best time, people, pictures, guides, time of my life! I've got to be honest the first day we arrived to Addis it was somehow shocking. But we found out the real magic around Ethiopia. It's not in the cities it's in their surroundings, the nature and the people. We were picked up by Shasha and Neway (the best) and they were so kind yet full of knowledge that they made us feel as part of their family. They know the perfect spots to take photos and the people to get what you need. After this day trip we decided to go all along with them in a 3 days tour into the magical coffee lands (unbelievable) If you're going to Ethiopia this is the company you are looking for. Great value but foremost great people.

Thank you Aman and Team! - Aman, Bruk and Kene truly made my trip to Ethiopia magical. Prior to the trip, correspondence was always done in a timely manner, and I was given a detailed itinerary before my arrival. Aman selected a well accomendating hotel, with pool, wifi, and attentive staff. The activities selected for the trip were just what I was looking for, and if I wanted to make slight adjustments, Aman and his team were flexible. I felt completely safe, supported and well taken care of. I could not have navigated to Ethiopia the way I would have wanted to with out Aman's expertise and services. I would highly recommend Aman's team if you're spending any time in Addis/Ethiopia. Thanks again Aman, Bruk and Kene!
