- amaarahg0 contributionsHighlight of my short stay!I had a few hours to see as much of Addis as possible and Merit Tours did an amazing job! Biruk, my guide, was wonderful, knowledgeable, friendly and made sure to customise my experience. The driver, Sirak, was patient as we stopped along the route.

- vals5290 contributionsMemorable DayWe took the day trip to the Church of Adadi Mariam. Our driver and guide Henok arrived promptly at 7 am to pick us up. The vehicle was spacious and very clean, our driver excellent and very attentive. Our guide was very interesting and you could tell that he really enjoyed his job. We made several stops on the way to the church, the countryside is very beautiful, and the people friendly. after visiting the church we visited Tiya, here we visited a local home where cooking skills were demonstrated, a great experience and lovely food. We also took part in a coffee ceremony, great coffee and a big thank-you to the local people who made us feel so welcome in their homes. We had a memorable day thanks to our amazing driver and guideWritten October 2, 2024
- DKDinDurham0 contributionsHighlight of time in Addis!This was our first time to Ethiopia and we only had only one day to sightsee (rest was work time). So we decided to do the 1-day private tour (as a couple) and we were so thrilled with the tour experience. Our guide Biruk was amazing and so knowledgeable with flawless English - he was also so friendly and fun to be with. He patiently and gladly answered all our many questions and really helped us see the non- touristy part of Addis which is exactly what we hoped for- got to experience the culture, delish homemade food - and even helped us bargain for a scarf. And our driver Addis was great too - they are such a good team. Highly recommend this tour- and it will definitely be the highlight of our time here in Addis!Written September 30, 2024

Muluken was a wonderful and informative guide. He and our driver helped us see a lot of Addis Ababba in just one day. We loved seeing the city, various churches, Lucy, the African Union and having lunch and coffee ceremony at a local restaurant up in the hills with a great view! Muluken is very knowledgeable about the history of the city and Ethiopia, and we very much appreciated him sharing his knowledge with us. He and our driver were personable and professional, and we would recommend them to all.

Our tour guide, Biruk along with our driver, Siruk (not sure if spelled correctly) provided us an amazing full day city tour! We started our day by checking out the national museum, followed by lunch at a local place with coffee ceremony! After telling Biruk what I wanted to buy for souvenirs, he took us to a pottery workshop followed by Merkato market and a local bakery. Biruk made sure we were buying our items for a fair price. We also went to Entoto park and got an amazing view of the city. We had an amazing day through out the tour and even decided to book a last minute tour the following day. I highly recommend booking through MEET, the owner, Moluken, responds quickly and is super helpful. Make sure to ask for Biruk as your tour guide!

We booked with this company for a day tour of Addis Ababa and had a wonderful experience! Muluken did a great job at coordinating our booking and making us feel welcome in his city.
We visited all of the main sites, with an exception of the National Museum (home of "Lucy"), which was closed. The highlight of our trip was a visit to a local home, where was also had lunch. It was interesting to see how the locals live and also try some local foods. We felt welcome in their home, and we would highly recommend this experience to everyone visiting Ethiopia.
Muluken was great to deal with! He provided excellent communication and was respectful of our own cultures as well.

I travelled to Ethiopia as a solo Canadian lady, so I was looking for a tour operator who was reputable and would ensure I was safe for my visit. During booking, Muluken was so attentive and helped to customize a fantastic experience for me. We combined three separate tours so I could experience Addis during the day and at night, and also a visit to Debra Libanos and the Portuguese Bridge. It was amazing! Biruk was a phenomenal guide and our two drivers (Sirak and Endalaw) were great! Watching them easily navigate the busy streets was something else! Biruk is incredibly knowledgeable and made my visit a special experience I will never forget. He even made a few tweaks to the itinerary while I was there to ensure I got a truly Ethiopian experience (a quick ride on the train, gelato stop, selo bar, etc). Biruk made sure I was safe during our visit to the Mercato market and helped me negotiate a good price for the basket I bought there. He was a very fun person to be with and I felt like I was touring around with a friend, not just a tour guide. Lots of laughter and fun! I highly recommend this tour operator and cannot say enough great things about my overall experience with them. I cannot wait to return to Ethiopia again - this time, I’ll have a few friends to visit! Thank you, Muluken, Biruk, Sirak, and Endalaw!

Wow, Heather!
Thank you so much for arranging your city tour and day trip from Addis Ababa with Merit Ethiopian Experience Tours!!
This is fantastic to hear you had an incredible time exploring Addis Ababa and beyond. It's wonderful that you felt so safe and well taken care of as a solo female traveler – that's so important to us.
I’m pleased to know I was able to create such a perfect itinerary to visit Addis Ababa and sites near Debre Libanos Monastery, for the ultimate experience!
And a huge shout-out to Biruk for being such a phenomenal guide! It's his passion and thoughtfulness – like adding those special touches to the itinerary – that make Merits tours so memorable. Sirak and Endalaw deserve all the praise for their expert and careful driving skills too! I will pass your review to all of them.
We love hearing about those genuine connections that develop between our guests and guides – it truly warms our hearts. We're so grateful for your kind words and can't wait to welcome you back to Ethiopia with your friends!
Thank you very much again, Heather!
All the best,

The tour was fantastic for the stop over we had in Addis. Biruk our guide was well educated and told us a lot about the city and Ethiopian culture. He adjusted the tour to our needs and interest. Among all the nice impressions and information, he was also funny and we laughed a lot. Getnet the driver was driving save and tried to find everytime the shortest route. We only can recommend this tour.

This tour was absolutely the highlight of my trip to Ethiopia. Our guide Brook was amazing. He arrived promptly with a warm smile and it was like meeting an old friend. He was so knowledgeable about the country and answered all of our questions. It was a private tour with me and a friend so we were able to customize it. The very beat part was when he took us to one of the locals houses and they prepared a full on Ethiopian meal along with homemade beer and wine. We got a change to grind coffee beans and learn so much about the culture. The Merkato market is an experience in itself. I’ve done a lot of traveling so I’m used to these open air markets but we were able to go to places that we would not have known about without our guide. He was also security for us making sure we did not become overwhelmed by all the local activity. The tour was only supposed to be about 9hrs but we were all having so much fun that he agreed to take us to see more of the city. If I ever come to Ethiopia again I know exactly who to call.

Really great day with Getahun and Jamal. We were two friends traveling together and although we usually don’t do organized sightseeing tours, having a guide on the first day was a very good decision for two women alone. I was in contact with Muluken via email before our arrival and we were given Getahun’s phone number.
We got to see and do some things that alone we’d probably not have felt comfortable doing. They were able to customize the tour according to our wishes (we decided to skip the museums and do them on our own): we got to see the Holy Trinity Cathedral, Entoto Hill, Merkato and Chiromeda markets and several other monuments. They took us to a store to buy some Ethiopian wine (excellent Chardonnay btw) and to Tomoca to buy coffee. But, the absolute highlight of the tour was the traditional coffee ceremony at a very local place on Entoto, something that we would have never have found on our own. Not only did we get to experience the coffee ceremony, we also were able to try the local beer and hard liquor and we saw how the injera is made. Getahun was very knowledgeable about all things Ethiopian, from history, religion, to every day customs and unique things. Jamal’s driving was excellent in the sometimes very chaotic traffic. Highly recommended!

Our guide, Burika, shared his love and passion for the city of Addis Ababa with us! He read our particular travel preferences and provided us with a customized, what I like to call “the back street tour of Addis Ababa, off the beaten track”. We loved every minute of it and we were introduced to a city we knew nothing about and quickly fell in love with it. Our driver was also excellent and we met some unforgettable people along the way! Thanks to our amazing coffee ceremony hosts, I will never be satisfied with a Starbucks again!

As a travel agency we often search for collaboration with tour companies and other services in various countries.
We look at many aspects such as communication turnaround time, flexibility, quality and many more to guarantee our clients are looked after with only the best service.
I made contact with Muluken at Merti Ethiopean Tours through their Website and live chat and found him to be very responsive, he was able to tailor make my very demanding requests perfectly on round one of his proposal. Both myself and my clients were very impressed with the service. Not only during the booking process, but the actual tours during travel.
I was comfortable in the knowledge that my clients were well looked after. As my clients are well traveled, the feedback I received of their guide, Zely, was very impressive!
So much so, that they are planning to return to Ethiopia for a longer stay.
I most highly recommend Merit to anyone thinking of experiencing Ethiopia's many cultural and natural gems.
Thank you Muluken and Zely for taking such good care of my clients.
Looking forward to dealing with you again in future.

The hotel where I will be staying is confirmed 24 hours before the tour application date. Can I tell you the pick-up location at that time? Also, two people are planning to apply, and each can stay at a different hotel, so I wonder if pickup is possible even if there are two pick-up locations.

Hi, our flight arrives at 6.15 and the hotel is picking us up from the airport - so we are not exactly sure what time we will be ready to be picked up to start the tour. Is that okay? What time does the tour usually start? We should be ready by 9am. What happens if our flight is delayed?

Our flight landed at 6:30, we’ve used the hotel’s shuttle to get to the hotel and we were ready to go by 8:30 after breakfast. Few decent hotels are a short driving distance from the airport. We’ve set to start the tour at 9:00 AM, which left us plenty of time, Yahred the guide was waiting for us at the lobby and said he will wait as long as needed if we won’t be ready on time.
