A Northern historical delight
My trip to Northern Ethiopia was fabulous, thanks to the flawless execution of my itinerary by Aman Tours. Bahir Dar, Gondar, the Simien Mountains, Lalibela and finally Addis Ababa all went swimmingly well, revealing incredible history (and UNESCO heritage sites) that the world should experience. I felt very safe and appreciated, which isn't always the case when you are from a country that's not deemed rich. The guides were as good as any I've encountered in a nation where English is not the first language, capped off by Abe in the capital. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Thank you sincerely for your wonderful review. We are truly happy to hear that your journey through northern Ethiopia was such a memorable experience. Visiting Bahir Dar, Gondar, the breathtaking Simien Mountains, the remarkable rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, and finishing in Addis Ababa truly offers a deep look into Ethiopia’s history and heritage. It means a lot to us that you felt safe, respected, and well taken care of throughout your trip. We also appreciate your kind words about our guides, especially Abe in Addis Ababa. Your recognition encourages our whole team to continue delivering the same level of care and professionalism to every guest. Thank you again for recommending Aman Ethiopia Tours and Travel. We hope to welcome you back to explore more of Ethiopia in the future. Warm regards, Aman Ethiopia Tours and Travel

Wonderful 6 days north Ethiopia tours
We had a fantastic experience with Aman Ethiopia Tours and Travel on our 6-day Northern Ethiopia tour covering Addis Ababa, Bahir Dar, Gondar, and Lalibela. Everything was very well organized, and the company’s agents in each location were professional, friendly, and reliable. The accommodations were excellent throughout the trip, with Maribela Hotel in Lalibela being especially outstanding. Visiting Ethiopia had always been our dream, and Aman Ethiopia helped make it a truly memorable experience. We are originally from Singapore and currently living in Kenya, and we highly recommend Aman Ethiopia to anyone planning to visit Ethiopia.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for choosing Aman Ethiopia Tours and Travel and for your wonderful reviews. We truly appreciate your trust in our company and are delighted to know you enjoyed your trip to Ethiopia. It was our pleasure to serve you, and we hope to welcome you again and give you another great service very soon. Thank you for traveling with us!

Best price,Best Experience,Best Teams
We did 5 days north & 3 days Danakil Depression with Aman team. The experience was amazing, they took care very well of us. Aman was answered all our questions just clearly & Fikru in Lalibela was our guide and he was so smiley, He never stopped of telling the history of Ethiopia & for us to see Lalibela and take pictures was a dream .He was patient and you could feel he truly loves Biblical related history. In terms of price, each dollar paid was worth it, and checking with other agencies, we realized they have competitive prices in the market. So really don’t hesitate to take them as Ethiopia operator. Thanks Aman for such a great experience!!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5 Days North Ethiopia Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Addis Ababa.
How much does 5 Days North Ethiopia Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $1,550 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 North Ethiopia Tours 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 North Ethiopia Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 27 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 North Ethiopia Tours?
+
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 North Ethiopia Tours 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 North Ethiopia Tours?
+
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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5 Days North Ethiopia Tours 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 North Ethiopia Tours?
+
Included: English speaking professional Guide; Hotel Accommodation 4 Nights; Breakfast; Entrance and scout fee; and Boat trip on Lake Tana. Not included: Lunch & Dinner; Gratuities; and Domestic Flights. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 5 Days North Ethiopia Tours include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Addis Ababa. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 5 Days North Ethiopia Tours?
+
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.
What happens to 5 Days North Ethiopia Tours if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Addis Ababa. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What do travelers say about 5 Days North Ethiopia Tours?
+
Across 27 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling, photo opportunities. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
