I had a great time on this 3days Danakil tour - The volcanoes and the Dallol colorful mountain were the most amazing scenery I have ever seen. we cannot experience it in my country, Japan. Above all, I want to show my appreciation to Mr. Isaac, my tour provider. Before joining the tour, I was chatting with him. He arranged the tour schedule and my airline tickets so that I could join the Danakil tour during my limited stay in Ethiopia. But when I arrived at the airport in Ethiopia, I had trouble because of my mistakes. At that time, Mr. Isaac helped me throughout the day and he rearranged my tour schedule for me. Thanks to him, I was able to participate in the Danakil tour. I think Mr. Isaac is a flexible and very kind person. I really appreciate and recommend him. And the tour driver, guide were also very kind. I enjoyed talking with them. Over all, I am very happy to have joined this Danakil tour. I love Ethiopian. So, I can rate it 5 stars.

Best travelling experience of my life! - On departure from Mekele city Our guide from the Great Ethiopian Tours gave us a presentation on how the Lava Lake can be dramatic, by the time we arrived we were lucky that the lake raised up so we were able to see the bubbling Lava. Check out the photos I took from the edge of the crater, it was amazing. The trip to the volcano was very tiring but getting there and seeing the lava flowing from the top of the crater was priceless. The whole region is unique, with the salt desert, the mineralized hot springs and the Afar people, and the most authentic place I've ever been. This is one of the best experiences I've had after travelling extensively in Africa and Ethiopia. I can really recommend Isaac from Great Ethiopian Tours. His professionalism and friendliness made me feel confident about the trip before it began. If anyone needs some advice you are welcome to write me a message.

Awesome trip - I visited the Dankil Depression and ErtaAle 2023. My tour was organized by well behaved and disiplined tour guide Isaac and he was  quite helpful with well mannered personality. The tour was awesome and informative, the drivers were friendly. I highly recommend Great Ethiopian Tours.

Visiting a place where human being is defined. - I spent a great time in a group of 6 in the Danakil Depression and Ertale volcano. The company was well organized & well informative. they arranged 3 Landcruiser’s and 4 police man which were super friendly & helpful despite lack of basic English). As for the Accommodation we went spartan on bamboo beds, a mattress and a sleeping bag, you get only the essentials but was enough for camping in such a remote location. 2023

Abusive Staff who use vulgarities when turned down by prospective clients - Approached them for a quote but ended up turning them down as another tour agency had offered a better package Their response was to be abusive and use vulgarities per the attached photo. Do not recommend and would advise prospective tourists to stay away
