I went on a 4D3N tour of the Omo Valley organised by Lucy Ethiopia Tours and had a wonderful experience. I contacted them the afternoon before I wanted to start the tour and the office was very quick to reply. They swiftly helped me organise everything including flights for a very fair price. The driver and tour guides were also very considerate and knowledgeable, which made for an overall very unique experience.

Super and reliable local tour operator! We travelled around all the country (Omo Valley, Danakil, Gheralta Mountains, Harar) and our coordinator Kiros, the owner of the company, took care of everything: from booking the flights and the hotels to organize the entire tour with very well prepared local guides and drivers who got us deeper into the Ethiopia’s history and culture.

I brought my mom to visit this wonderful country and thanks to Kiros from Lucy Tours we enjoyed so much. We did Danakil 3 days, Lalibela 2 days, Omo Valley 3 days and Addis 2 days. Kiros has a great team in each area we discovered. Highly recommended

Tour with Lucy Ethiopian was great. Especially guides in Lalibela and Danakil desert. I highly recommend Fikru from Lalibela and driver in Danakil. They were great - full of knowledge, professional, friendly and very positive. Great tour with Lucy. You must visit Ethiopia - its wonderful country with very nice and friendly people.

I wouldn’t go to Ethiopia without contacting Kiros and taking Lucy Tours. One of the most memorable experiences ever. The best part was trekking in the mountains in the North, the guide he organised for us was exceptional, kind and really made us feel welcome. With two children aged 9 and 10 and not much time it was very good to have a car and experienced and very punctual and professional driver. I would highly recommend Lucy Tours if you want to visit Ethiopia - they can Taylor a tour to your interests, time frame and budget. If I was to plan the trip again I would probably make sure to spend at least 3 days in each place to not have the feeling of rushing and ticking off sites seen.
All in all an unforgetable trip - Thank you Lucy Ethiopia Tours and thank you Kiros, Shewit and Howitt

Disclaimer: I was traveling in the week between Christmas and NYE which apparently is the busiest week of the year for Ethiopia tourism so I reckon this tour operator was simply overwhelmed. It seemed like he subcontracted a lot of work, hiring jeeps that were substandard rather than just using his usual ones. But there is always the option of turning clients away rather than letting service and quality languish like this - this was meant to be a highlight of my trip for which I'd traveled from halfway across the world. The quantity of people definitely impaired slightly the experience, for example we arrived at the one place in the sand flaks where there is a gorgeous emerald water hole, but it was tiny and there soon arrived about 20 jeeps full of people! In these kind of conditions it would be good if the tour operators thought of ways to avoid peak times because noone goes to the desert to be surrounded by people!
Negatives: Our convoy of jeeps had to stop about ten days on trip to the Danakil Depression due to one of the automobiles breaking down. As a result, we ended up arriving super late at Erta Ale, pretty much the last group to go up, it all felt very rushed. The tour guide for our tour actually only arrived on day two, and he was useless, didn't explain anything, wasn't particularly friendly, was poorly equipped- for example didn't even have a torch to light up the way for people around the volcano crater which is pretty dangerous. When I asked him about it, he said: "All I need is the moonlight". Sure but what about your responsability to your clients? On the last day, we'd been promised to see a certain lake but he was in another car and obviously decided to skip it because he just drove past it. And while sleeping under the stars sounds romantic, they should think to warn clients about the winds and provide sleeping bags. I didn't really catch a wink of sleep. Finally, up the volcano they rented such a tiny space for us to sleep on that we were all huddled up like sardines. AT least two of the people on the tour got their money back (I didn't think to ask)
Positives: Kiros, the tour agency chief, seems like a genuinely nice, competent and well cultured guy. When the airline lost my bag, he arranged to have it picked up when it finally arrived and sent out to me with another group. The Danakil tour is a great adventure, the Dallol springs in particular are spectacular. We were unfortunate that the volcano had been super active the night before but was barely active when we were there, plus there were no camel caravans, so maybe lower expectations a little - it's not all like in the guidebooks! The food on the tour was great, having wine at sunset on the salt flaks was magical, I really liked our driver, which is important on such long roadtrips through such tricky terrain.

I recently had the pleasure of taking a tour with Lucy Ethiopia Tours, and it was a truly unforgettable experience. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, making sure that we had the best experience possible. We were able to explore the beautiful north and south of Ethiopia, and I was amazed by the diverse cultures and landscapes that we encountered. From the ancient churches and monasteries in the north, to the stunning waterfalls and wildlife in the south, I was constantly in awe of the beauty of this country. The tour guide was also very helpful in providing historical context and cultural insights that really brought the experience to life. I highly recommend Lucy Ethiopia Tours for anyone looking for a truly authentic and immersive experience in Ethiopia.

12-day tailor-made family trip (8 pers) in Northern Ethiopia organized by Lucy Ethiopia Tours agency in Mekele. We would like to recommend Kiros and his team. We particularly enjoyed the off the beaten track visits such as the Tigray trek in communities (erar and shimbrety) where we are welcomed by the local people in incredible sites. The organization : drivers, local guides,... was outstanding (no waiting time, listening guides, concern that it is appropriate).

Hello, My name is Nadia.
I went to Ethiopia by myself and Kiros from Lucy tours was soooo helpful and kind. I managed to book the 3 days adventure in Dallol-Erta Ale last minute and found a great group to join! Everything was amazing, the experience, the guide, the places. As a solo female, I was well taken care of and looked after and I felt safe all the time. Kiros even helped me finding 2 girls to join and share the expenses for the tour in omo valley with, as it was too expensive on my own. I really genuinely strongly recommend them ❤️ Thank youuuuu

I was fortunate enough to book my two day trip with Lucy, they were exceptionally good with communicating and responding to my questions.
Once I arrived I then had the pleasure of having Yosef as my guide, his knowledge, kindness and flexibility made it a perfect trip. Can’t wait to return and see more of Ethiopia with Yosef and Lucy.
