Day in Addis

ee99rsp, Jun 2026

I had a great day on this tour with Anteneh. I found the museum very interesting, the guide there gave a good explanation. I also liked walking in the market, lots of things to see going on. The stop at the juice bar there was also good.

Great city + food tour!!

LISA_S, Apr 2026

This was a great day tour of Addis Ababa! The guide Anteneh was very flexible with my pickup/start time, which I appreciated. The best part was that this ended up being a city tour plus food tour, which I wasn’t even expecting! I got so much food during this tour — breakfast, coffee, lunch, coffee ceremony, and fruit smoothie. The lunch at Addis Ababa restaurant was one of my favorites of my entire trip — it was so good! And the coffee ceremony was also the best one I experienced all trip — I loved that they walked you through every step and also give you the rue, which completely changes the flavor of the coffee in the best way. The fruit smoothie at the end was an unexpected treat. It was so nice to get to see the city while experiencing delicious local foods and drinks! Highly recommend this tour!!

Perfect layover tour to discover history, food and culture

Victoria_K, Oct 2025

I only had a one-day layover in Addis Ababa and wanted to discover Ethiopian food, history and culture - this was the perfect tour! As a solo traveller, a tour made it safer and easier to get around in a short period of time. My driver, Miki, and guide, Biruk, were excellent, showing me sights in and around the city. I got to experience the bustling market, visit the museum, see the city from the mountains, and visit a church. My highlight was going up to a local family's home in the hills and making my own injera, then washing it down with a traditional Ethiopian coffee. While I only had a short time in Addis Ababa, I was able to have many unique experiences outside of the usual tourist sightseeing route. Also, Biruk is an excellent photographer - I have so many great photos from my tour! Overall, I'd highly recommend this tour if you're passing through Addis Ababa and want a unique taste of Ethiopian culture.
