All Addis Ababa Tours & Excursions in 2026

I had an absolutely unforgettable experience exploring Addis Ababa with Teddy and Alex! 🇪🇹❤️ This was so much more than a sightseeing tour it was an informative, educational, and exciting journey through Ethiopian history, culture, adventure, local food, coffee, and everyday life. One of the highlights was Mount Entoto, the highest point in Addis Ababa, where the breathtaking panoramic views combine the vibrant city with the beautiful surrounding countryside. Standing there and learning about Emperor Menelik II, the history of Addis Ababa, and the cultural importance of Entoto was fascinating. Teddy explained everything so clearly and made the history easy to understand and genuinely interesting. The adventure continued at Mercato, where I experienced the real everyday life of Addis Ababa. Walking through the bustling market, seeing local traders, discovering traditional products, interacting with people, and learning how the market functions gave me a fascinating insight into daily Ethiopian life. It was lively, authentic, and full of unforgettable moments. I also visited Tomoca Coffee in Piazza, one of Addis Ababa’s historic coffee institutions. I learned so much about Ethiopia’s famous coffee culture, purchased freshly roasted Ethiopian coffee beans, and enjoyed an authentic coffee experience. The information about Ethiopian coffee, its traditions, and its importance in everyday life was incredibly interesting. I also had the opportunity to try a local Ethiopian breakfast with the locals, interact with people, and experience everyday life from a truly local perspective. These experiences made the tour feel authentic and educational rather than simply visiting tourist attractions. What impressed me most was how flexible and completely customizable the experience was. Teddy and Alex never rushed me or pressured me to move to the next stop. I could take my time, ask questions, take photos, interact with locals, or spend longer at places that interested me. Everything was organized around what I wanted to experience. Teddy was an extremely informative, knowledgeable, professional, and well-trained guide. He shared fascinating stories about Ethiopian history, culture, traditions, food, coffee, and daily life. He was patient, friendly, and always happy to answer my questions. Alex was an excellent and highly skilled driver. His driving was smooth, careful, professional, and reassuring. I always felt safe and comfortable on the road. The vehicle was brand new, exceptionally clean, spacious, comfortable, and fully air-conditioned, which made the entire experience even better. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe, respected, and very well taken care of from beginning to end. Teddy and Alex were kind, attentive, professional, and genuinely passionate about showing me the real Addis Ababa. This tour gave me everything I hoped for: history, adventure, culture, breathtaking views, local food, Ethiopian coffee, Mercato, and authentic everyday life. Most importantly, I learned so much along the way. I strongly recommend this experience to solo travelers, solo female travelers, first-time visitors to Ethiopia, or anyone looking for a safe, informative, flexible, and authentic introduction to Addis Ababa. Ask for Teddy and Alex you will be in excellent hands! 🇪🇹✨ I came as a traveler and left with unforgettable memories, a deeper understanding of Ethiopian history and culture, and a huge appreciation for the people and everyday life of Addis Ababa. Absolutely fantastic, informative, educational, and full of adventure from beginning to end! ❤️

It was really cool to see the countryside and what things are like outside the city. Our guide Niko was excellent. He explained things to us as we drove to the destinations, and shared about Ethiopia. He even brought us to some places to shop for coffee after we got back to Addis. He took us to local places to eat and try the local beer/liquor which was really cool because we never would have done that ourselves. The church had so much history and was beautiful. A priest showed us around and took us through the museum. The Portuguese bridge was stunning. The waterfall and the views from the top were beautiful. I would definitely recommend!

We had an early evening excursion time due to our layover so certain places were closed. However, Athnatios and Yonas still made sure we had a good time. We absolutely enjoyed this excursion. We got to see the first church of Ethiopia and take in all the history, we went to the highest point of the city for stunning views (better than the views from the empire state building), and we tried some good local cuisine. They were so knowledgeable and just fun to be around. I only wish we had more time. Book this tour!
