I had the most amazing time in Ethiopia with Peerless. Our guide Mulu and our driver Dave went above and beyond. My friend and I felt very well looked after at all times. We had once in a lifetime experiences, meeting tribes and learning about their culture and history. A highlight for me was seeing the hippos!!!! I would recommend this tour and this tour company to everyone!!!

Trip of a Lifetime
We did the 7 Days Omo Valley & Arbaminch Cultural Tour and it did not disappoint! Muluye our guide was so much fun and very knowledgeable. Dave was our driver and he was excellent! Muluye and Dave really helped to make our trip memorable. Visiting the different tribes was fascinating! The accommodations were fine and the meals tasty. The only thing I would have done different would be to bring a bunch of pens, pencils, etc to give to the children in each village. I highly recommend Peerless and we are already planning to come back next year and do a tour of north Ethiopia.

Jemma gorge view point
The view from Jemma George was absolutely breathtaking — a kind of awe even the Grand Canyon couldn’t quite match. The service provided by the professional guide and driver was outstanding, and now I understand why the company is called Peerless.

Addis Ababa Trip Review: Safe, Convenient, and Jam-Packed!
Despite a short itinerary, I was able to fully explore a fantastic mix of places in and around Addis Ababa: the beautiful churches and cathedrals, charming cafés, the bustling market alleyways, and even a memorable excursion to the outskirts. The combination of a knowledgeable, friendly guide who provided detailed explanations and a best-in-class driver meant I could visit every place I wanted safely and comfortably. I highly recommend this travel agency if you're looking for an enriching and safe trip to Ethiopia, whether you are traveling solo or as a group. They truly have the experience and expertise to make your Ethiopian journey seamless and unforgettable.
