Fantastic layover city tour! Highly recommended and well-organized
We booked this half-day transit tour during our layover in Addis Ababa, and it turned out to be the best decision! Our guide did an amazing job packing our limited hours with incredible highlights—we visited the National Museum, Holy Trinity Cathedral, the iconic Tomoca Coffee shop, and the bustling Mercato.
Even during the drives, the guide kept us thoroughly entertained and informed, sharing rich insights into Ethiopian culture and other fascinating regions of the country.
One important tip for future travelers: traffic in the city can get very heavy and congested, so make sure to plan ahead and allow plenty of extra time to get back to the airport to avoid missing your flight.
Thank you for making our transit stop so fulfilling and memorable!

Layover in Addis Ababa
Biruk was an amazing guide! Easy pick up at the airport and then was flexible during the whole day. I like how he asked about my interests so that we could prioritize where to go and what to see. He explained a lot about the history and modernization of the city and country. We went to the market area, saw Lucy at the Museum (which is a must and Biruk was great at providing all of the important explanations and details throughout the museum), mount Entoto, and the Holy Trinity Cathedral (St. George’s was under renovation). The best part of the trip was the coffee ceremony with Biruk and our driver. It was great to sit and eat all together in the Ethiopian style, try local drinks and watch the whole coffee process. Highly recommend this tour and guide!

Great way to spend a day in Addis Ababa
Great day tour around Addis Ababa, learnt a lot from my friendly and knowledgeable guide Adisu and enjoyed a nice coffee break and local meal.
I found the National Museum of Ethiopia fascinating, and the view of the city from Entoto were excellent.
Overall a great way to spend a day in Addis Ababa.

Worth the drive.
At the moment, there are a lot of roadworks that can make the journey a bit bumpy, but the views of the countryside and places you want to see are worth it. There are also people along the way at the places you stop who will be trying to sell things, so have some small currency to buy if you wish. Our driver, Abay, was good about navigating the traffic to keep us on time. The monastery is stunning with it's stain glassed windows. The monkey families we saw was great also. The waterfall and Portugeuse bridge was nice.

Great Addis Ababa Experience
We had a wonderful time on this tour. It was fun, well organized, and a great way to experience Addis Ababa and learn about Ethiopia’s history and culture.
A special mention to our guide, Abe. He is extremely knowledgeable and really knows his stuff. His understanding of Ethiopian history and culture made every stop much more interesting, and he was always happy to explain things and answer our questions.
Abe was also friendly, patient and made the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable for our family.
I would definitely recommend this tour, and if you get the opportunity, ask for Abe as your guide!

Amazing trip from the city
This tour was the highlight of our trip! We felt extremely safe and comfortable. We started off at the monastery, then we saw the baboons. Then we saw the Portuguese bridge and waterfalls and had a delicious lunch with a beautiful view. It was a nice, relaxing way to get out of the city. Our guide Barch was great, he went above and beyond to give us a perfect day.

Prepare for the best local tour.
If you want a real Ethiopian local experience, take this tour—it's a must. Be prepared for the best local tour. My guide, Gashaw, was highly knowledgeable and able to explain in thorough detail the history of Ethiopia and answer all my questions. I was treated to a local meal, a coffee ceremony, and a nice walk in the biggest African market. I was given a wide cultural variety to experience and I am very grateful to have met my guide and experienced this trip. Thank you.
