Unfortunate Turn Of Events

Richard_R, Dec 2023

Unfortunately, I was unable to do this trip due to sudden security concerns. Communications could have been better as I was waiting for over an hour without any information from the tour company. Back and forth with hotel front desk staff and the tour company for more than half an hour before I was given information about the cancellation of the tour. However, after that, a full refund was processed immediately and apologies sent from the company to me directly

Wonderful excursion

Eric B, Jul 2019

I booked this last minute (the night before), and am glad I did. I went with Walk In Ethiopia Tour Travel & Car Rental. My guide spoke perfect English, he and the driver were very friendly and solicitous, and pointed out lots of sites along the way. In addition to Tiya Stelae (a well-deserved UNESCO World Heritage Site), the excursion included the ancient carved rock church at Adadi Maryam, the prehistoric dig site and museum at Melka Kunture, and a stop at a great lunch place in Tiya. I highly recommend the excursion, and the tour operator.
