I was in Addis Ababa for a long flight transfer, called them last minute and was accepted for a tour right away. My guide, Gasha, had an excellent sense of hospitality and understanding of what guests want to do and see. He was able to explain history extremely well and in perfect English - incredibly interesting and entertaining. Good choice for lunch and coffee break and in about 6 hours I got an ideal overview of the city. 100% recommended and will definitely ask Gasha again for another tour the next time I'm in townGuide was having vast knowledge of Ethiopian history.

Guide was having vast knowledge of Ethiopian history. He also has his own cab he took us to national museum first he explained each and everything In the museum then we went entoto park Spend few hours then we went for city sight seen . The guide was very humble person and he charged very minimal price.A great tour of the streets, museums and markets of Addis. Not just walking, but took the "donkey van", a taxi, uber and a street bus as well. The guide, Beki, was a treasure: friendly, informative and went out of his way to make the tour a memorable one Thanks!

My guide Beki picked me up at my hotel on time (in fact, he was early and waited in the lobby till I was ready) and we hit the road for a wonderful walking tour. He expertly guided me through the traffic and we even road local public transport such as the "blue donkeys" and "lada" taxis. Wonderfully knowledgeable and with a background in sociology and social entrepreneurship, he gave me little history lessons along the way and shared highlights on Ethiopian culture and politics. We kept an easy pace and stopped for coffee and snack breaks along the way. It was my first day in the city and I wanted to get a local sim - he even took me to an Ethio Telecom office and got me connected. Overall, these personal touches, an itinerary that gives you a snapshot of the city (especially for a new arrival) and a wonderfully hospitable and knowledgeable guide made this tour absolutely worth it! I highly recommend it!!! (I'm traveling as a solo female, and overall, everything felt safe!)Our guide, Gashaw, was amazing! We got to see everything we wanted, and then some! I would highly recommend booking this tour for a terrific overview of Addis. We really enjoyed it and learned so much!

This was a truly memorable tour of Addis. Moges, our guide, was very knowledgeable, interesting and kind. He took us on a combination of public transportation and taxis. He was flexible to do what we wanted. We spent hours in the fascinating market, visited museums and had the best authentic coffee in town. Highly recommended!
