    Delightful experience

    This is our first trip to Ethiopia . It was a delightful experience, thanks to the excellent service by Glamour Omo Valley Tours . We got to know Glamour Tours through the google reviews We had 2 weeks and Glamour Tours sent us 5 different itinerary options . , the recommended hotels were excellent and we stayed mostly in Heritage hotels , which were not expensive and very different from the modern contemporary hotels .The best of these hotels was Sora lodge Lalibela .The highlight of our tour was the drivers and guides provided ., they were all very knowledgable , experienced , humble and safe .2 weeks was a very short time and we plan a longer holiday covering north Ethiopia in 2025 , would surely get in touch with Glamour Tours once again.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that your danakil and omo valley trip was such an unforgettable experience with danakil Tours. It's wonderful to know that our team, especially your tour manager, helped make the journey even more special by creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

    Well organized

    A big thank you to Glamour Tours and Travels for making my parents' trip an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, and my parents absolutely loved every part of the journey. The hotels were clean and comfortable, ensuring a pleasant stay throughout. Though there was a slight language barrier with the driver, it did not take away from the overall amazing experience. The entire trip was seamless, and I truly appreciate the constant support and efforts put in by the team. This trip was extra special as it was for my parents' 25th anniversary, and you made it so memorable for them! I will definitely recommend GlamourTours and Travels to my friends and family. Thank you once again! 🫶😊 A huge shoutout to Rodas for managing the trip so good, for constantly asking for feedback from my parents and he did his best to make the trip and a great success.

    Amazing trip

    Happen to stumble on Glamour Omo Valley Tours and Mickey name through a Google search: Best Glamour Omo Valley tour. Here I was, guided through the alleys, the people, the life and everything that bahir dar,gondar and lalibela had within itself by gashaw-the first female guide from gondar itself. The experience of the tour was one of a kind. Though I was skeptical of going for the tour initially, my interest towards seeing and witnessing the ground realities led me there. I got an insight into so many aspects of the life of people, the harmony, the diversity and everything I could ask for! It’s an experience that everyone must have and it’s better to see it directly than reading about it. North ethiopia surprised me so much and meeting Melaku our guide who is so full of life and knowledge; Gondar and calls all of the shop owners and workers there his family was just an amazing feeling! Highly recommend it to everyone who wants to visit . There’s absolutely nothing to be skeptical about. You will certainly leave with a different perspective and a huge smile on your face!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re delighted to hear that your ethiopia trip was enjoyable and that you were able to explore all the best spots. It's great to know that our tour guide provided detailed explanations and handled everything with care and professionalism. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you on another memorable journey with Glamour Omo Valley Tours!

    More than 5 star

    I needed to get from From Addis Bahirdar ,gondar simien.mountain and lalibela drive and flight i wanted to be able to experience some of the places in between. Glamour Omo Valley Tours tours were able to organise a great trip for me with lots of interesting stops along the way. Including Lake tana ,blue nile falls asimien mountains and rock hewn churches of lalibela The guide and driver were both excellent. Mickey was kind and caring and helped make sure I had a good time. Even teaching me the proper way to eat my Ethiopian meal,There were lots of extra bits that I wasn't expecting like trying different types of food, shiro was definitely needed after walking up lots of steps to the caves in the hot sun! These all made it an extra special day and one that wouldn't have been possible if I'd tried to do it on my own.

    Trustworthy tour operator

    I can't say enough positive about Glamour Omo Valley Tours. I contacted numerous tour companies to plan this trip to Ethiopia with my 12 year old son. Mickey Glamour was from the first the most responsive to my request for a specialized itinerary. I was also looking for a totally trustworthy tour guide who could take my son around while I was working in Addis. Mickey provided this and more. His guides and driver were very knowledgeable and responsive to our requests - for example extending our stop in one place to watch wild life (baboons). Mickey was also very helpful when I had to cancel part of our tour due to my son getting ill; he got me some money back and provided everything I needed for my travel insurance. I will absolutely use Glamour Tours on my next trip to Ethiopia with my family.

    Response from the operator: We’re so glad to hear that your solo trip to ethiopia was a smooth and memorable one. It's always our aim to provide dependable support and personalized care, and we’re delighted that our team could deliver that throughout your journey. Your appreciation means a lot to us, and we're truly grateful for your trust. We look forward to planning many more wonderful travel experiences for you in the future! Warm regards, Team Danakil Depressio Tours

    5 Days Addis,Bahir Dar,Gondar ,Simien Mountain and Lalibela: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Addis Ababa.

    How much does 5 Days Addis,Bahir Dar,Gondar ,Simien Mountain and Lalibela cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,100 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 5 Days Addis,Bahir Dar,Gondar ,Simien Mountain and Lalibela take?

    +

    Plan for about 120 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 5 Days Addis,Bahir Dar,Gondar ,Simien Mountain and Lalibela worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Addis Ababa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 5 Days Addis,Bahir Dar,Gondar ,Simien Mountain and Lalibela?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 5 Days Addis,Bahir Dar,Gondar ,Simien Mountain and Lalibela suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 5 Days Addis,Bahir Dar,Gondar ,Simien Mountain and Lalibela?

    +

    Around 3 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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 5 Days Addis,Bahir Dar,Gondar ,Simien Mountain and Lalibela 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 5 Days Addis,Bahir Dar,Gondar ,Simien Mountain and Lalibela?

    +

    Included: Bottled water every day; Meal Full Board; Government tax; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
