Liyu Ethiopia Tours made our visit to Ethiopia unforgettable! Yhun, the manager, was in constant communication with us before and during our trip, keeping us up-to-date with local conditions. We booked a trip to Wenchi Crater and 2 days in Gondar through Liyu.
The trip to Wenchi was incredible. Early in the morning, our guide Oli, and the driver, picked us up from our hotel in Addis Ababa, and drove us the 3.5ish hours to Wenchi. We spent the morning hiking through the crater lake, taking in the natural beauty—this is something Yhun made sure to include in our itinerary after we expressed our desire to focus more on Ethiopia's natural wonders. Oli was a fantastic guide: he was very knowledgeable, kind, and quite funny. We enjoyed a traditional coffee ceremony, boat ride, and lunch before returning to Addis Ababa.

Read moreJanet and I have just finished a 16 day tour with Liyu Ethiopiatours. We could not fault the way everything came together. Airport pickups were on time and even when some of our flights were delayed by up two hours the guide was still waiting! Accommodation was great. The drivers and guides throughout were courteous and always obliging. Great sense of humor with lots of laughs! Nothing was ever a problem. It was also obvious that they enjoyed what were they doing and had exceptional knowledge. Yhun contacted the guides during our trip just to make sure all was well. His attention to detail was excellent. Would have no hesitation in recommending his company. We had a fantastic time with some fantastic experiences. I am unable to download some photos yet but will endeavor to later. Janet and Trevor...
