Highlights
- Mount Entoto - We offer the city walking or car with driver/guide where you’ll meet the local and visit all the best sightseeing with coffee and lunch breaks on your way, which will lead by a tour guide, as an escort.
Start the day looking down on Addis Ababa from Entoto Mountain, the capital of Ethiopia before Addis Ababa. Here you will have panoramic views of the city with fresh air from the eucalyptus forests. Here you will visit the Entoto Maryam church and museum.
- Addis Ababa Museum - After the Entoto Hill visit, proceed down to Addis Ababa via Shiro Meda, the city’s largest market for traditional clothes and campus of Addis Ababa University to the ethnographic museum, with great displays of the many cultures of Ethiopia, housed in the former palace of Haile-Selassie.
You will then continue with a visit to the National Museum, where Ethiopia’s oldest resident, Lucy, is housed.
Before you head to Mercato, you will visit the Red Terror Museum and receive a tour in English from a survivor of the Red Terror. It was a very informative and heart-breaking account of the recent history of Ethiopia.
- Mercato Market - Finish the day with shopping in Mercato, the local marketplace which is said to be Africa’s largest open-air market.
All the guides are experienced and great storytellers and, more importantly, are fully qualified and experienced in the history of art and the history of Addis Ababa. Highly recommended!

Guide Getaneh and driver Kemal are so kind. So comfortable with AC car. - I joined ETT the city tour. Guide Getaneh and driver Kemal are so kind.
They guided me to Somaliland embassy and Tomoka coffee (there are my offer), museum(Lucy), view-good hill ,and Addis Mercato.
The guide gave me many knowledge about Ethiopian history, coffee and culture.
Driver drove safely to the places which I want and always care about our safety.
As Using local taxi and sightseeing by yourself is quite difficult and takes much time for foreigners, this tour($50) is so reasonable and can save your time.

Nice day spent with Eyob - Eyob gave a nice tour of the ethnological museum and we spent some time at entoto Park. I had already seen many of the other attractions so it was nice to be able to customize. Was nice that he spoke good English and we could converse on things outside of just points of interest, really enjoyed sharing thoughts and beliefs.

A brilliant and immersive day with friendly local guides. - Our time spent with Eyob, Naol, and Amir was truly exceptional. Their warm hospitality and deep knowledge and passion made our journey through Addis Ababa an enriching and memorable experience. Exploring the National Museum with Eyob was enlightening; his insights into Ethiopian history brought the exhibits to life. At Mount Entoto, the panoramic views were awe-inspiring, and navigating the bustling mercado was a delightful immersion into local culture. The authentic street food added a flavorful touch to our adventure. The cultural evening was the epitome of immersion. Traditional dances, music, and cuisine created a vibrant atmosphere - a definite highlight and recommendation to all. Their passion for sharing Ethiopia's rich and diverse heritage was evident, making our experience both educational and enjoyable. We are profoundly grateful for this enriching experience and eagerly anticipate our return to delve even deeper into the other wonders of Ethiopia with these knowledgeable and friendly guides.

I had a very good experience - t was perfect from beginning to end. Eyob met us at our hotel on time and delivered us back. His knowledge of Addis Ababa and surounding area was very impressive and his lunch location was 5Star. I highly recommend Eyob and your company for superb service and attention to detail. Thank you so much for a memorable visit to Addis Ababa. Also we had rented Sedan on weekends for great price and it was delivered at the airport with slight delay though but apart of that everything was absolutely fine and no extra hassle.

Great Experience in Addis Ababa - I've got the best possible service, as for me. I had a really good guide and great driver. He was very attentive: I did video on the way with opened windows and driver closed window for safety and said me I can continue to video street life.
I liked traditional clothing market a lot: if you want to have really beautiful souvenir from Ethiopia, I think Shiromeda ( I'm not sure, if I wrote it correctly..) is the best possible place))
I really highly appreciative for the service I had. We visited Mercato market and I felt totally safe there: without a guide I would never go there. But with the guide it was very interesting and safe visit.
The tour is flexible and it's great: you can choose what is interesting for you.
We bought good coffee on the way and also I've tasted avocado and mango juice))
The owner of company is great and treated me in the best way))
Highly recommended Ethio Travel and Tours for your tours through Ethiopia and Addis.

Taste of Ethiopia (Long layover, no worries!) - Thank you very much! Went to the Museum and then headed to the Shola Market to see coffees and spices. My tour guide was wonderful, even taking me to a local restaurant he frequents! I recommend ETT especially if you want to save on cost yet customise your trip (even if you’re just in transit!).
