Tour and Cultural Restaurant Evening - Sisay took us on an evening tour of Addis Ababa and we also went to a fantastic cultural restaurant with live music and dance. The food was incredible and the vibe in the place was full of energy and happiness. Sisay showed us historic monuments and the beautiful city that Addis is. Highly recommend the tour. Amesegnalehu!

Great guide for a layover tour in Addis Ababa! - Sisay was an incredible tour guide! He was friendly and knowledgable. We felt safe and had so much fun with him! I would highly recommend a tour with Sisay to anyone who is interested in exploring Addis Ababa. We absolutely loved the coffee after lunch, as well as drinking tea in the market.

Fantastic Layover Tour - Our group of eight took a layover tour of Addis Ababa last week and we all had an amazing time during our short stay in Ethiopia. Sisay was a fantastic guide and was very flexible and easy to communicate with. My favorite stops of the day were lunch at Addis Ababa Restaurant, and our tour of the Mercado. We also got to see a wonderful view of the city, and tried some excellent Ethiopian coffee. I will definitely contact Adefa Tours again if life ever takes me back to Ethiopia!

Magnificent, impressive Addis Ababa, the “New Flower” of King Menelik the Second - Sisay, the owner of the agency, led us through Addis Ababa for a whole day with great care, tranquility and fulfilling all wishes! We saw the Mausoleum of Menelik, continued with the tour of the Palace of Menelik and all other buildings in the fantastically redesigned Unity Park, continued to St. George's Church and then up Mount Entoto, where you have a view of the whole city and the old, first palace of Menelik can be visited! Finally, we walked through the old, but recently quite modernized neighborhood of Piassa! An eerily dense, sight-packed day in Ethiopia's metropolis that was an unforgettable experience through Sisay's guided tour!

Brilliant tour! - We had a two-day guided tour in Addis (including a long visit to Entoto park, the key museums and the markets) and were impressed by the knowledge and professional approach of Sisay, and I can only recommend him to those who plan to visit Addis!

A Nostalgia Tour in Addis Ababa - Sisay is endowed with vast knowledge of the history of Abbysinia. His guidance across the historical places in the city was a riminiscence of my days in MA Course unit on the History of the Nile Civilization!! We visited the church that was built by Menelik II after the battle of Adwa against the Italian troops!! Every site that we went to was a place of indepth-learning. Sisay is an amazing tour guide.
