EXCELLENT Based on 20 reviews Posted on LaylahVerified Amazing experience Ethiopia has so many different experiences, I didn't even know where to start when it came to planning my time there. Natty from Tanian Tours was so patient and helpful, and I ended up having a wonderful time. Between advice on day trips, guided tours and just regular day-to-day advice in navigating Addis, my entire trip was made better on the advice he gave. I'd highly recommend him for anyone who intends to travel to Ethiopia.Posted on Robyn TVerified Great service Tanian Ethiopian Tours (Nati) arranged a 2-day trip for us with very little notice in Arba Minch. They were very easy to communicate with and everything went smoothly. Nati also kindly dropped us off & picked us up at the airport in Addis Ababa. We hope to visit Addis again & will definitely arrange additional trips through Tanian Ethiopia Tours.Posted on Hertic EVerified Thanks to Tanian Ethiopia Tours & the Incredible Nati! Our Tours with Tanian Ethiopia was an absolute masterpiece! They flawlessly curated two unforgettable experiences: a captivating Addis Ababa full day city tour that immersed us in Ethiopia’s vibrant capital, and the awe-inspiring Danakil Depression desert travel, where we wandered surreal landscapes straight out of a sci-fi film. In Addis, we explored bustling local markets, historic national museums, and hidden spots, all brought to life by Nati, whose storytelling made the city’s history pulse with energy. Then we went to the Danakil Depression — Erta ale volcano & salt lakes. Nati’s expertise and tireless dedication ensured our safety and wonder in this extreme environment, all while fostering a camaraderie that felt like traveling with family. Tanian Ethiopia Tours blended meticulous planning with genuine warmth, and Nati’s passion for his homeland transformed our trip into a soul-stirring adventure. Thank you for showcasing Ethiopia’s contrasts!Posted on Diede SmithVerified Best Ethiopia Tour Company! Tanian Ethiopia Tours has organised multiple tours for me: Bale Mountains, Harar city tour, and a 3-day grip to the Danakil Depression (including Erta Ale). All of these trips were organised amazingly, with experienced and knowledgeable tour guides. Communication and expectations beforehand and after were always clear and concise with reality. I would highly recommend booking through Tanian!Posted on yenenehVerified Great family trip in Ethiopia We had the best 2 weeks Ethiopian trip with Tanian Ethiopia Tours.
