Avoid Ethio Tours!!
DO NOT BOOK any tour with Ethio Tours (ET). If booking via Viator make sure it’s not Ethio Tours. I gave 3 stars to acknowledge the driver’s, Biniam, effort to manage the ever changing itinerary by Ethio Tours. ET never replied to my message requesting confirmation and started changing the itinerary a night before departure. Required us to drive on a very rough road for 8 hours, starting the journey at 5:30PM in the morning to catch a 1AM flight. The company does NOT have the clients interest, and kept repeating they know best. Avoid, avoid, avoid!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. We are very sorry for the lack of timely communication prior to your departure and for the last-minute adjustments made to your itinerary. We understand how frustrating and stressful unexpected changes can be, especially when they impact travel timing and comfort. The long journey and early departure you described are also concerning to us. While some routes in remote areas of Ethiopia can be challenging due to road conditions, this should always be clearly communicated in advance and planned in a way that prioritizes your comfort and overall experience. We regret that this was not handled to your satisfaction. At the same time, we truly appreciate your kind recognition of our driver, Biniam. We are proud of his effort and professionalism in trying to manage a difficult situation, and your feedback about him has been shared with our team. Please be assured that your comments are taken seriously. We are currently reviewing our internal processes to improve: Pre-departure communication and confirmations Handling of itinerary changes Trip planning and time management Overall customer experience Our intention is always to provide safe, well-organized, and enjoyable travel experiences, and we regret that we fell short in your case. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss your experience further and restore your confidence in our services. Thank you again for your feedback. Kind regards, Ethio Travel and Tours Management Team

Omo Valley
ETT is an amazing travel agency, I think it must be the best agency in all of Ethiopia. We went to Omo Valley and several other cities. We visited the tribes in the south of the country and the churches high in the mountains. The tour guides are fantastic. They were a lot of fun and made our trip incredible, I highly recommend them!

Good tour but need to deal with company properly
Did different tour with this company prior to Omo Valley. All was well, so I thought I will do another tour with them. Tour itself is good. Love the driver that look after us (we almost got scammed by the local tour guide when we visited tribe's market). But the arrangement from the company can be improved. Company is so quick when it comes to client making payment, but no response when it comes to question/issue. No details on whats included in the fee (even though I have asked).Since this is last minute, I need to book the spot quickly (prior tour with this company was good. So I trusted them). When I arrive destination, just found out none of the meals are included and need to pay for every single village or tribe's market visited.Thank God I have cash (and another traveller was kind enough to pay for me on last day of the tour since I have no more cash). Asked the company why never respond to my question and that the sudden expenses make me feel like this company is not being transparent/operating in good faith (no response, of course). Other travellers in the group was also requested to pay extra for meals, fortunately they had handwritten-paper from company as proof that meals are included. But this takes 30-45min to sort out and frustrated traveller (the driver need to confirm back and forth with the company since the driver did not receive any details prior to tour). For you all travellers, ensure you have proof of whats your payment for. Just because you had good experience with them previously, it doesnt mean they will give same service on the next tour.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Days Omo Valley Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Addis Ababa.
How much does 3 Days Omo Valley Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $800 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Addis Ababa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Days Omo Valley Tour take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Addis Ababa is not rushed.
Is 3 Days Omo Valley Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Addis Ababa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days Omo Valley Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 3 Days Omo Valley Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Days Omo Valley Tour?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Addis Ababa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Addis Ababa and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Days Omo Valley Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Addis Ababa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Addis Ababa?
+
On Outty we rank every Addis Ababa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Addis Ababa Authentic Private City Tour, Addis Ababa Guided City Tour With Airport & Hotel Pick Up, Full Day Tour of Addis Ababa with Hotel Pickup and Drop-off. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Addis Ababa?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Addis Ababa?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 3 Days Omo Valley Tour?
+
Included: Local guide; All Fees and Taxes; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Breakfast. Not included: Things which are not mentioned on the inclusion. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 3 Days Omo Valley Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 117 listed pickup locations in and around Addis Ababa. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 3 Days Omo Valley Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 3 Days Omo Valley Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is 3 Days Omo Valley Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
