Must do! - There are a TON of walking Ethiopia tours to choose from. Quite frankly it’s overwhelming. After reading through a ton of them and selecting this one, I feel as if I couldn’t have made a better choice. Gashaw was a fantastic tour guide. Very informative and knowledgeable and takes you to all of the hot spots. More importantly he took his time and I never felt rushed. Often with these tours it’s just rush from place to place, get you in and out and seems robotic. He answered every question (I had many), offered suggestions, advice and provided anything that I needed. I asked him where I could get my beard cut and he even took me to the barber shop! Also asked if I should need anything else after the tour, to not hesitate to reach out. Although there are endless people offering the same tour, please do this one. You won’t regret it. We all need to support exceptional service when we receive it and that’s exactly what this tour and Gashaw is. Look no further! The best city tour in Ethiopia is here!

Great half day tour of Addis - Our tour guide was wonderful. He picked us up on time at our hotel and took us to the National Museum, Entoto Park, St George’s cathedral, and the Mercato followed by some drive-by’s of other sites. He was very knowledgeable and helped us make the best of a rainy day. Highly recommended tour operation.

Fantastic personalized city tour - ★★★★★ I had an amazing private tour of Addis Ababa! Desale was a fantastic guide who effortlessly adapted our schedule to include the things I wanted to focus on. He was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. (also, ask him about any capital of any country or state in the world—and he knows the answer!! lol) Our driver’s skill in maneuvering through the biggest street market was absolutely astonishing—I was in awe! I very highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Addis with an expert guide and seamless experience.

Wonderful day in Addis - The tour was amazing! I live in Addis and had a friend coming to visit even living here as an expat this was the only time that I had the chance to have an in-depth experience of the city in all aspects, history, culture and even the nature side of it. Really recommend!

Well, but be careful with the guide - Attractions in Addis are interesting. The National Museum deserves more investment, but it's worth it. Visit Orthodox churches, the old palace, a traditional restaurant and a café as well. As it was fiery, we could not visit the Merkatto. The only thing I didn't really like was the guide's behavior. At a certain point, he began to weave indiscrete comments and ask questions about personal topics, including whether I had ever had relationships with black men and whether I knew about women doing sex tourism in Africa. I found it extremely disrespectful and nothing professional.
