Best price,Best Experience,Best Teams - We did 5 days north & 3 days Danakil Depression with Aman team. The experience was amazing, they took care very well of us. Aman was answered all our questions just clearly & Fikru in Lalibela was our guide and he was so smiley, He never stopped of telling the history of Ethiopia & for us to see Lalibela and take pictures was a dream .He was patient and you could feel he truly loves Biblical related history. In terms of price, each dollar paid was worth it, and checking with other agencies, we realized they have competitive prices in the market. So really don’t hesitate to take them as Ethiopia operator. Thanks Aman for such a great experience!!

Amazing! - Aman was flexible and created a custom itinerary for our group of seven. We had Jocy as our guide and Fruit as the driver. They were both detailed oriented, knowledgeable and ensured we had a memorable experience. Jocy was able to arrange for the most knowledgeable local guides for all our visits. It was a hassle free 5 days.

Totally awesome country, culture, history and people! - Everything was just spectacular! Highly recommend AmanEthiopia Tours! We did the Northern Ethiopia 5 days tour of Gondar, Simien Mountains, Bahir Dar and Lalibela and it was simply wonderful. Our guide, Jocy, and driver, Frut, were the best as were our city guides. I had no idea Ethiopia was so beautiful and the history so amazing and the people so friendly! They took incredible care of us and went beyond all expectations. We were so impressed with everything and were so flexible, we are grateful. We feel like they are now family and will recommend them to everyone!

One of a life time trip! - The trip from Lalibela to Addis Ababa is about 1 hour long one way by flight. Lucky enough the 5 days trip of north Ethiopia was pretty comfortable so we were able to see some wonderful places like Gondar-Lalibela-Bahir Dar,We felt a bit rushed over Bahir Dar there due our delay for view stop on our way from Gondar to bahir dar but guide was quite good. He was a very pleasant, social and funny man. He mixed-in lots of jokes and his character and care for us as a group really made up for that!

Awesome tour in Northern Ethiopia - Did the 5 day Northern Ethiopia tour, although without Aksum due to the situation there. We were splendidly guided by Joseph and Niko drove us safely along the roads with some challenges on wet dirt-roads. Even though 5 days is short for such an interesting region, we felt that we saw a lot, learned a lot and experienced a lot. Can really recommend the company, the tour - and of course Joseph and Niko.

Splendid - The North Ethiopia tour was temporarily shortened by cutting Aksum, due to the current conflicts. Nevertheless, the tour was splendid. The sights are extremely impressive (especially Lalibela) and the nature is amazing. There is a lot of driving involved, but so much to see just by looking out the window and observing the everyday life of farming, trading, and of course Ethiopian orthodox worship. Our guides, Joseph and Nico, were beyond amazing. Well read up on all our questions on history as well as current everyday life. We had a few instances of very challenging road conditions, but Nico always handled them safely. In general, we felt very safe travelling rural Ethiopia together with them, and they always had great restaurant tips! While we were on the road, the country was struck by a fuel crisis, and they spent many hours of their supposed "free time" to search and queue for gas. Overall a great deep-dive into historical as well as current Ethiopia!
