    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.
