We chose Aman Tour for a 2-week tour in Ethiopia for two groups, one of 10 and one of 12 people. Everything was flawless, the guides were very well documented and the drivers were professional. Absolutely everything was organized in the smallest detail
We made a personalised tour of Ethiopia together with Abraham: we told him the imprescindibile highlights we wanted to see and how many days we had in total and he organised a tour perfectly fitting for our needs. We had a different, passionate local guide in every place we went. Particularly impressive our 3 days in Danakil and the market and mass experiences in Lalibela.
