Highly recommended - I did a three day with Glamour Omo Valley tours which was one of the most remarkable travel experiences I’ve ever had. The scenery is unlike anything you’ll have seen before and walking through turmi villages, seeing the pace of life, agricultural practises and wildlife is truly, totally memorable. Our guides, porters and hosts all showed incredible hospitality, and the guest houses – well – see them for yourself. As tired as I was by the end, I wish I had another couple of days. Glamour also organised an additional excursion to the Abune Aharon monastery which is not to be missed for the more intrepid. On the final day I stayed in Lalibela which was virtually empty of tourists – you’ll be sharing this truly singular religious site with worshippers only. Everyone I interacted with at Glamour– Mark, Betty and Teshale – were all really friendly and helpful, and helped make the trip a success. Highly, highly recommended

Excellent Experience - We have always had an excellent experience in dealing with Danakil Depresion Travels- right from the planning stage to our return from the trip. They devise excellent itinerary , give you options to choose hotels as per your budget/ preference and ensure that smallest details are taken care of. We enjoyed an excellent trip to Ethiopia in 2025 with them; they organised a wonderful stay at good lodge for our family and we have become Danakil Depression Travels loyalists since then. Our latest trip in sepmber omo valley , organised by them was amazingly beautiful. We look forward to our continued association and many more such wonderful trips with them. Special thanks to miceky and john for their helpful suggestions, meticulous planning and for customizing our trips to the best of our satisfaction.

Absolutely Trustworthy - We had the most wonderful personalized tour of northern Ethiopia, put together by Glamour Omo Valley Tours Tours! We chose this agency partly because of reviews, partly because Mickey was so great to work with. He answered e-mails promptly and was quite flexible in rearranging the tour to accommodate our schedule and our wishes. Ethiopia is a spectacular country, with tremendous natural beauty and an incredibly rich history and tradition. The people were welcoming and endlessly fascinating. We had great drivers, which we were very grateful for because it’s a country where driving is a challenge! But by far the best thing about our trip was our guide, Thomas He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and obviously loves sharing his beautiful country with strangers. Best of all, he was fun to be with, which is important because he was with us the entire trip, taking such very good care of us. We felt safe with him and found him to be absolutely trustworthy. Thanks, Tes, for helping us have the trip of our lives

Exceptional moments - Awesome, That’s what we we have to say about 5 day journey with We stayed 2 days in Addis Abeba and then we headed down South with him. He is an excellent driver and btw. he knows a lot about the different traditions of the ethnic groups, wildlife (spec. Birds !! ) , He also knows the best places for authentic food . It was always amusing with him. Glamour Tours always followed our wishes and proposals about accommodations and other changes without extra costs. Everything was well planned and organized. John is an excellent companion and friend, who likes to show you then beauty of the landscape and the people of his country. Thank you so much John and mickey.

Delights of Ethiopia - We have just completed a 3 day individual visit to the Omo Valley with Glamour Tours in which we visited 6 different tribes and 2 markets. We priced four different tour groups and considered Glamour represented the best value for money, and we certainly weren't disappointed. The tour was led by daniel, whose enthusiasm, knowledge of the area and general helpfulness contributed heavily to the enjoyment of our trip. All dealings with Mickey prior to the trip were dealt with promptly and professionally, and I would recommend this group to anyone wanting to experience the delights of Ethiopia.

Tour of the year - Back from a 3day trip with danakil Tours. It was truly a lifetime the stars of the trip were exceptional valley experience, humour and ability to manage our entire group were just impressive despite this being his first international trip, he was very professional in dealing thing. Both were patient, accessible and perfect in every little things. The itinerary was well planned, covered excellent locations in a short span. The hotels and food provided exceeded our expectations. Our local guide,mickeywas outstanding and enthusiastic about sharing our Thai culture. What made this trip truly special was the bonding among the members, thanks to his team for their efforts. We felt like a family, sharing laughter and creating memories. Although the trip has ended only a few hours back, I am already missing our fam!! A huge thanks to danakil Tours,all crew (missing them already) for crafting an unforgettable experience. We hope to reunite with the same crew soon and explore more places together!!🧿❤️😭
