Oli was a fantastic guide!! Good for a layover, as was the case with me. Easy pick up and drop off. Interesting sights for what you can see in about 5 hours.

A good trip starts with a great booking experience. I know we were not the easiest costumers as we had far too many requests and modification requirements and individual preferences, but all these were not only taken into account but for every e-mail and whatsup message we got a reply within 1/2 hour but sometimes within minutes. The payment procedure was also simple and easy. On our midnight arrival we were greeted by our driver and transferred to our hotel. The real adventure started the following morning when Yhun the company’s manager joined us and became our guide for the entire Omo Valley tour. What an experience! We decided to skip the domestic flights and the journey was done with their comfortable minibus (or midibus), more than enough space for 3. Before reaching the tribes of the Omo Valley region we had a stop in Hawassa and also in Arba Minch, at both places we stayed in the Haile Resorts. Great properties, completely up to European standards. Once you reach the Valley on can feel that he/she is part of a time travel while visiting beautiful people and their villages. The accommodation options are simple, but the cleanliness is never compromised, also we always had great breakfast, 24 hr electricity and wi-fi. It is almost impossible to explain how mesmerizing it is to meet the various tribes and see how they live their everyday life. Been to 162 countries, this is among the top travel experiences. Our guide Yhun was the most professional, he shared with us lots of stories, information, but never too much. He has a great ability to sense his guests wishes and intentions and he can immediately react on them and accommodate any ad hoc requests. In extra we got a great introduction to Ethiopian jazz and several times we were surprised with delicious fruits, honey sweet banana, mango. The whole journey went exactly as it was described in the accepted itinerary, only minor modifications needed because of the circumstances. E.g we swapped programs within the day. We got what we paid for and much more, a professional tour, a safe journey, loads of laughs and great conversations, I should also mention our driver, who navigated us safely through the sometimes challenging roads. (Never seen so many cattle and goats crossing the roads) 😂. Ethiopia is great country it should be proud of its heritage and it offers a wonderful time to its visitors. Would return anytime and would recommend Liyu Ethiopia Tours to everyone who looks for a safe, well organized, reach and fun experience.

I recently took a 16 day tour of Ethiopia with Liyu Ethiopia Tours and it was an incredible experience. The tour, the communication and the organisation were all outstanding. I decided not to go with one of the tours that is listed on the website and engaged with Yhun, who was super helpful and accommodating with my many requests. Together, we were able to put together the itinerary that I really wanted to do. I went to the north (Axum, Lalibela, Gondar, Bahir Dar, Simien Mountains), south (Turmi, Arba Minch, Omo Valley) and east (Dallol and Danakil Depression). Throughout the process, Yhun was extremely professional and, importantly, upfront about any safety issues. Also, at the end of the tour, he visited me with a small gift to say thank you, even though it was me who needed to be thanking him. Once I got to Ethiopia, everything was arranged like clockwork. I was always picked up and dropped off at the airport on time, with my boarding passes always being sent well in advance. The local guides were all professional and very good and were all well organised to ensure smooth transitions. Exploring Ethiopia was a dream - it’s an amazing country with a fascinating culture, beautiful nature, friendly people and phenomenal food. Thanks to Liyu Ethiopia Tours, I feel like I got the most out of my very busy itinerary. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.

Great trip! Very professional organisation of the trip with an excellent guide. We can highly recommend this journey if you are in Addis. Thumb sul!

I went to wenchi with my friends... the service was great, we all enjoyed it very much. The lake was chefs kiss. If you're in Ethiopia, this is a place to go to

I had an amazing experience on this tour! The guide Seid was knowledgeable, friendly, and made every moment enjoyable. The itinerary was well-organized, and the destination was stunning. I highly recommend this tour through Liyu Ethiopian tours to anyone looking for a memorable adventure!

Communication with Yhun is top notch . He respond quickly on my queries. There was an issue coming in from Eritrea to Ethiopia because there’s no more straight flight connection between these 2 countries so I have to modify my Eritrea trip to be on time to my scheduled trip in Ethiopia . I’m glad I did . Even if we were in the middle of nowhere there’s a hotel, lodge that was pick very well by Yhun that we can rest and be comfortable on . This is an expectacular country to visit the culture , the people and the food . Visiting the Omo Valley with many tribes is such an eye opener . From Arba Minch, to Konso, To lower Omo valley , to Turin , to Jinka to the Mago National park and then the city Addis Ababa. The 5 days we stayed here are full of excitement and activities My trip will not be as exciting if we don’t have our funny , loud ( in a good way) very charismatic guide Tarek. And our good driver Adam . Tarek is very enthusiastic showing us the different tribes , even found a tribe gathering/ festivities in our way which is unplanned but very nice that we stop and able to join their festivities. He is not a stranger to anyone he meet which makes ourselves easy to immerse in the cultures and traditions they have . This trip is very well planned and having a good guide and even having to meet local guides is interesting blend of information we have received . I definitely enjoyed my trip to Ethiopia . I wish I have more time to see more of the country . If you are looking for a tour company to enjoy this beautiful country . Look no further .

I had a layover in Addis Ababa and visited Lake Wonchi with Amanuel. He was extremely professional and made my day unforgettable! The lake was stunning, and Amanuel’s guidance made the experience seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

These guys help was essential for our Food Safari Ethiopia to go as planned. Yhun, his brother Abraham and the drivers who accompanied us on tours in Addis Ababa and also through the southern Ethiopia were kind and attentive, which made us feel safe. We learned a lot about Ethiopian culture. I recommend!

My friend and I had an incredible transit tour in Addis Ababa. Our driver and guide, Wende, was exceptional—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience unforgettable. The tour was seamlessly organized by Yhun, who ensured everything ran perfectly. We explored key landmarks, enjoyed authentic Ethiopian coffee, and experienced the city's vibrant culture. Highly recommend this tour for anyone with a layover in Addis!

Dear Liyu Ethiopia Tour and Travel, Thank you for all the support! I had a really nice experience in OMO Valley. Special thanks to Tarik and Adamu. Best,

The tour was fantastic, Food and drink was vyumme, Driver and Guide were excellent. Definitely will book with them. When I come back to Ethiopia

I glad to travel with liyu. It was fantastic they were like a family in our days.special thanks to guide(tariku) & the driver (sitotaw). I hope traveling with you every day. Thank you.

Amazing tour conducted by Yhun Eijgu of Liyu Tours. In 1 day we were able to see several impressive locations in Addis Ababa. I was able to get such a significant impression of the city and the people. To be noted that Yhun was so knowledgeable about the sites we visited including their historical facts.

This was a good tour for someone who is in search of a light trip to explore Addis Ababa’s main landmarks. We were able to learn a lot about the city’s history and culture from Yhun (I hope I got the name right) and then continued the trip with another guide named Amanuel. Both were informative and had a great knowledge of the history of Ethiopia. We loved the coffee shop stop & the aromatic perfectly prepared macchiato. We also had a glimpse of the famous merchato as it was raining so we passed by it and Amanuel did all the explanation and story-telling job. The National museum was interesting as well. The tour ended with the church on mount entoto where we had a panoramic view of the whole city from an altitude of 3,000 meters above sea level.
