All Addis Ababa Tours & Excursions in 2026

The guide Gebru is really sweet and funny, and makes the tour enjoyable. Its quite adventurous so be prepared for that. Can get hot as well, dress appropriately. Watching the baboons is fun, and the stained glass is pretty but the view from the Portuguese bride across the gorge is absolutely fantastic. The food is excellent as well, and so is the coffee.

Addis Abeba is an amazing city and I couldn’t have a better tour guide as Desale and Kulen as a great driver. Desale was very knowledgeable and explained me a lot about the history and the culture of Ethiopia. He ensured that I enjoyed every moment and ensured that I didn’t missed all the important sights. He is very professional and was very flexible to adjust the program to my needs. I was astonished on his presentation & explanation at the museum and in all other places we visited

A really great trip that will be a highlight of my time in Addis Ababa. Dagi was a great guide who made sure everything ran smoothly and answered any questions we had. We got to see all the highlights, including the monastery and geladas, but the long-ish drive each way was a real insight into how many millions of Ethiopians live their lives, an experience that was really valuable to my overall trip and that I would not have gotten were it not for this tour taking me outside the Addis city centre.

Biruk, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and really provided good options to see in the time constraint that we had. The driver was also extremely good. They picked us up from where I was staying, which was not a conventional hotel, without any problem. We went to the National Museum, Mt Entoto where we saw a great view of the city and had a traditional coffee ceremony with food. We drove by the market and went to Holy Trinity Cathedral. It was the Muskel celebration day, so he also gave us perspective there-was a great experience before having to fly out that night.

Joseph was a fine guide with knowledge about his country. He was a gentle guide from the pickup at the airport until the drop off at the hotel. The city tour is a must if ever someone is visiting Eddis .The palace, the national museum and the view of the city from the mountain plus major roads that shows how this city is .I recommend this excursion.

My husband and I were unable to do this tour. I'm giving a 5 star review because it is in no way the fault of the tour operator. The city looked very interesting from the airplane window, so we were super disappointed that we weren't able to explore it. I'm leaving a review as a heads up to others who want to explore Addis Ababa. Customs WILL NOT let you take binoculars out of the airport. Zoom lenses on cameras are ok though. Go figure! There is an option to store valuables at the airport, but it was a complicated process and we were not comfortable with it. (I would need to lock my binoculars in a storage cage then use a different exit separate from my husband. We envisioned not being able to find one another on the other side!) Our plane was a bit late and by the time we sorted through the issue, we were 2 hours late for the tour anyway. I had connectivity issues with my phone so I was not able to contact the tour operator to let them know not to expect us, and it was another reason why I didn't want to separate from my husband. The worst part was not being able to get back to the departures area and through security until 3 hours before our flight, so we sat around baggage claim for 5 hours. When it was time, we had to be escorted by customs to the departures area since I had binoculars in my carry on. We are seasoned travelers and I'm usually very good at researching foreign country requirements but never came across any info from customs about binoculars. Also, heads up that if you are a US citizen, be sure to get a tourist visa to exit the airport. There is a "visa on arrival" counter, or you can purchase one on-line in advance. In general, bring your patience and be prepared for a chaotic **** show at the airport.
