Great tour, great people: Eritrea is a jewel - The best trip of my life so far. Eritrea is a precious jewel to be discovered. Adulis Travel staff has been absolutely perfect. All of them. Always ready to adapt the tour to our last minute requests. They guided us for a full week tour in their beautiful country: Asmara, Keren, Massawa, Quoaito, Adi Kei, and a lot more in between. I was waiting for long time to go visit Eritrea and they have just made it the most unique experience for me and my friend. Eritrean people are kind, nice, smily, always ready to help. If I have to mention one place only I would say Asmara which is a unique modernist well preserved place where every corner is a discovery. And last but not least: the food is great. As an Italian I am quite demanding with food and in Eritrea you not only get delicious Eritrean food but also simply « wow » Italian food too!!

Impressive country - The tour guides not only organised the trip, in accordance with what we had initially requested, they also made several suggestions, creating an unforgettable experience. Everything was taken care of, including transport and dealing with local currency. Things not to miss: the impressive rock paintings marked on caves; prehistoric societies represented by million-year-old fossil of a homo erectus skull in the Massawa museum; Qohaito, built during the time of Queen Sheba; Asmara and Massawa with one of the world's best collections of exquisite architecture, beautiful coral reefs in the Red Sea; camel market in Keren; meeting extraordinary people and witnessing tolerance in religion and mutual respect between ethnic communities. Bear in mind: there is no internet or local sim cards, where you do find some, the applications do not work, but it’s a good way to disconnect. For those who of you who have travelled to many countries and everything seems familiar (or nothing can surprise them), Eritrea is the place to go! Special thanks to our amazing and super knowledgeable guides Robel, Efrem and Tomi, as well as to Yonatan who prepared the program. Thanks also for suggesting to try the local yoghurt on our way to Massawa – it was delicious!

Best travel agents ever !!! Tour run to perfection, including restaurants, best located hotels, and never any pressure - Report on Eritrea – Dec23-Jan24 – 9 days/8 nights The solo tour was prepared together with Adulis Travel (thank you so much for the recommendation!). Yonathan is the person to get in touch with. He is ammmmmmmazing. Responsive, fast, listening, preparing a tour according to the wishes of the traveller, flexible, professional, and more. 10/10 to Yonathan! Thanks to him I (he) obtained my visa in about a week – no scary stories here, just swift, and easy. Even when last minute I asked him if he could accommodate a second passenger, the second visa was also obtained in less than a week, and just about to be boarding the plane. Yonathan remained flexible at all times, accommodating every whim of mine, and also when a second passenger came along. While penciling out the tour he found options that suited my budget. Once the second passenger came in, my other wish options got immediately back on the burner and the prices were adjusted accordingly. I have to say 10/10 to the service. I visited Asmara, Keren, Massawa, Qohaito. 4x4 was provided with a driver continuously assigned to us. Very friendly chap that also did his best to accommodate our wishes. All the tours and extras were included as promised. I had the most fantastic trip and truly recommend to all to visit this beautiful country. Food was lovely (lots of pasta, pizza, and meat, and some fish while in Massawa). Coffee was second to none to Italy. Safest country and cities to wander. Combination of Italy, Middle East, and Ancient times. Loved visiting the first mosque ever in Massawa (facing Jerusalem), seeing the rock art in Qohaito, meddling with camels, goats, cows in Keren, swimming in the warm waters of the red sea, and walking about in the wonderful Asmara. While in Asmara, do not forget the Medebar Market, where metal workshops play the sounds of music, the Tank Graveyard, where relics from past wars show scars, and the Grain and vegetable market, with the smallest pop corn in the world. Art deco? Everywhere !!! Yes, hotels were outdated but which are not after the ravages of Covid and more. Service was slow but who cares when time stops to live the present moment as Wi-Fi is almost non-existent. Most tourists I met were Italian and the markets where real, as only locals would shop on them. I encourage all to visit this country as it remains authentic.

Emotional - I would love for them to promote their indigenous history rather than colonial. They have much history and the focus is on colonialism
