This was the perfect combo of seeing a few key sites in the city, as well as leaving the city to see the gorgeous land and farmscapes en route to the crater lakes. Gashaw was super knowledgeable and shared so much interesting history without ever being boring! He was very flexible and accommodating and changed up the lunch option to a more local experience. I booked the night before and was a great day overall!

I was in Addis for 3 days and I had 3 separate tours, so believe me when I say that Aspire Ethiopia has the best guiding service. I booked a tour to the Crater Lakes in Bishoftu that included a city tour before hand. My guide now friend Gashaw was so knowledgeable in the history of the city. He was very amiable and easy going. I had the best time and would 💯 recommend this tour company.

I had an outstanding experience in Addis and Debreziet with Aspire Ethiopia Tours and my guide Gashaw. I only had a few days in town and I looked for a personalised adventure that could show me around not as a tourist but as a local. I did this is two days. The highlight of the tour was a walk in Mercato through hundreds of small hallways and merchants - ranging from spices to metal workers. I have been there before during my first trip to this extraordinary country but the visit that the guide prepared for me and my friends took the experience to another level. I highly recommend it!
