AMAZING trip in Ethiopia

Lucy is an excellent travel agency. They customized an itinerary for me based on the destinations I wanted to visit and even answered and helped me solve many other problems I encountered in Ethiopia. I participated in a three-day tour of the North, a three-day tour of the Southern Tribes, and a one-day tour of the capital. The guide that Lucy arranged for me was very professional and enthusiastic. I highly recommend booking their tours!

Fascinating trip

Simply exquisite. Kiros organized everything for me, including my time in Addis Ababa. Showed me around and introduced me in their welcoming culture. Made sure I’m safe, I felt completely safe and well treated. I only had 5 days, but I’m definitely going back for more experience, and definitely book my trip with Kiros.

Great trip guided by Robel

Our three-day, two-night trip was absolutely amazing! Traveling with a 10-year-old boy was completely stress-free, and our guide was truly exceptional—his name is Robel, and we highly recommend him to everyone!!!

Spectacular natural wonder and very helpful tour operator

Great tour. Danakil exceeded hype in its beauty. DO take the dip in the small salt pool on the salt flats (I’ve still got a smile on my face). Finally, Lucy Ethiopia was a great choice of tour operator. As a solo traveler I paid slightly more than some others in group but the value of my using this operator really showed when overnight, all flights were cancelled out of Mekele due to unrest in Northern Ethiopia. With one WhatsApp message, Kiros rebooked my flight from another airport outside the affected area and arranged transport (with no charge). In less than a day, I was back on schedule. Great work guys.

Danikel depression and Erta Ale active volcano

We connected with Kiros of Lucy Ethiopia Tours and he gave us one of our best overland adventure experiences across the hard-to-believe alien landscape of the Danakil desert and Erta Ale volcano in the Afar region. Top notch driver and guide and a fantastic Toyota Land Cruiser was provided for the 3 days. Safety was the top priority too. Highly recommend Lucy Tours

Responsive via email and WhatsApp, thoughtful, well-organized, friendly, and reliable

I had two weeks to explore Ethiopia and wanted to make the most of my time there. Before traveling, I searched for a reliable tour agency and, after reading several positive reviews, reached out to a few for more information. Several responded, but none as quickly and thoroughly as Mulu Muse, the sales manager at Lucy Ethiopia Tours. I decided to book a tour to the Danakil Depression with Lucy Ethiopia Tours for my first week in the country. I was impressed by the trust they placed in me, they even booked and emailed me the return flight ticket before I had made any payment, with the understanding that we’d settle things once I arrived. A few hours before my flight, I received a message from the airline that the domestic flight to Semera had been cancelled and rescheduled for 10 hours later. On my way to the airport, I contacted Mulu, who immediately arranged a hotel for me in Semera and made sure I could still join a different tour group the next day. Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed at the airport by a local guide, and the tour itself was excellently organized. After returning to Addis Ababa, I decided to book two more trips with Lucy Ethiopia Tours: to the Omo Valley and to Lalibela. I also had the chance to meet Kiros Zeray, the owner of the company, at my hotel in Addis. He was friendly, flexible, and thoughtful about payment options and logistics. All in all, I had a very positive experience with Lucy Ethiopia Tours. Their responsiveness, reliability, and personal approach made a big difference. I highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Ethiopia.

We can highly recommend Lucy Tours!

Our trip through Ethiopia was just perfect and exceeded all our expectations. From the very first contact to the last minute of the tour we felt very well looked after and cared for. Communication was always clear and friendly, which gave us a sense of security even in advance. The guides who accompanied us throughout our trip were not only extremely professional, but also incredibly friendly and trustworthy. They had a deep knowledge of the history and culture of Ethiopia and shared it with us, which enriched the experience. Especially impressive was the personal attention we received throughout the tour. The Lucy Tours team really went beyond the usual to make sure we had an unforgettable experience. On our tour, fresh meals were prepared for us every day, and the food was just delicious. In addition, it was nice to experience the hospitality of the local people. We felt safe and secure at all times, which allowed us to fully enjoy the breathtaking landscapes and fascinating culture of Ethiopia. Lucy Tours is definitely the right choice for anyone looking to explore Ethiopia! We are very grateful for everything and can't wait to come back!
