My husband and I were in...

Elisabeth_S, Apr 2026

My husband and I were in Addis Ababa for a long layover and wanted to experience a little of the city and culture instead of just waiting around at the hotel. Booked this tour kind of last minute. Communication was good and got picked up right on time. Oli was our guide and Abraham was the driver. Very kind and helpful people. Oli was very knowledgeable. In 5 hours, I learned a lot and had a great experience. Make sure to being cash for the market.

Very knowledgeable. Very accommodating. Very professional. Kind. A great way to see the city and feel the vibe of Addis

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Very disappointing experience

Annick_K, May 2026

Although the guides were kind and helped us on some points, the tour was quite poor in explanation and "guidance". In the beginning, we did not have an explanation of the city or the places we passed through, the guides talked more to each other than they talked to us / introduced the city. The passage on Mount Entoto was very quick and summary..... In short, I did not feel like I had a guided tour of the city at all. Taking a taxi to the different points of the city would have cost me less for a service almost similar....
