I can’t say enough good things about my guide, Sam. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly has a strong love for his country. We started the tour at the National Museum of Ethiopia before heading up to Entoto Hill to see the spectacular view of Addis Ababa, and lastly, we took a drive through the city’s Mercato, which, according to Sam, wasn’t very busy by normal standards (but looked pretty happening to me!) I can’t imagine the area when it’s buzzing. If you need a company to show you around, I highly recommend Addis Ethiopia Tours for the job.

My Guide Samuel was very good he has a great knowledge of Ethiopian culture and gave a ton of valuable information. One thing I didn't like is Mercato tour it was a little bit boring. I suggest to change it with another place.

The tour guide Adios was intelligent and knew a lot of history about Ethiopia. The museum was very interesting to know deep history about Africa in which I learned new things. The shopping market was nice and the guide helped us buy items we were looking for. The mountain view was amazing. Towards the end of tour the guide asked us what things the tour could do better with and we suggested trying Ethiopian food. Which he took us to a restaurant and helped us buy some food. The tour and guide was very nice.

I was only in Addis Ababa for a couple of days for work and booked a half day tour ( all paid) as I had limited time . I wasted 2 hours waiting for them. They did not answer the phone . The hotel eventually got on to them and they then said they would send a driver by then it was 11 am and I had to be back at 12 30 so it was not worth going . I was so did appointed . So be careful booking with them as they may let you down. They knew where I was and did not even try and contact me . I could have organised something else

I am widely-travelled and quite demanding when it comes to guided tours, and I can say that Addis (my tour guide) was one of the best tour guides I have ever had. Not only was he very knowledgeable about everything that was part of the tour, but he was a fantastic source of information and an excellent, sharp-witted conversation partner on any other topic that came up during the half-day tour. Sharp, pleasant, erudite, and good sense of humor. The visit of the National Museum was truly excellent. Our tour happened to be on Good Friday, so the St. George's Cathedral was closed for visits as it was (like all the other churches) celebrating mass and was surrounded by the praying faithful, but Addis still managed to organize a church official to take me through the adjacent cathedral museum. Overall, this was an outstanding experience, and I can warmly recommend Addis and, by extension, the entire company.

Gashaw was a fantastic knowledgeable and adaptable guide for my half day tour of Addis! I booked the half day tour of Addis after walking around Bole myself and wanting to see more than some nice restaurants and hotels. Gashaw’s tour throughout the city exceeded my expectations as I learned all about Ethiopia’s history, diverse culture, and geography. He was an expert driver as well, navigating through very very busy Markato streets. Highly recommend!
