      Engaging and informative glimpse of Addis Ababa and Ethiopia
      An excellent experience throughout. Our Tour Guide, Mr Gash, is exceptionally knowledgable, and educated our group about Addis Ababa and Ethiopia’s rich and diverse history and culture. I would highly recommend and look forward to working with him again in future.

      Home just miles away from home. Insights from Ethiopia, the hidden beauty of Ethiopia that the media doesn’t show us.
      First time leaving my country and definitely went to a beautiful country of Ethiopia. Since the very first moment I landed in Addis, Gashaw and his team was very good to me and our team of 36 people. They went to see us settle at the hotel and took us to the beautiful country. From the Unity Park to Adwa Museum. Him and his team shared stories of the battlefield between Italy and Ethiopia, from the horses mouth. One thing that would make me remember them is how they conducted the tour. They made sure they make everyone of us understand everything. We went to get cultural experiences, clothes and the food. He made the team to love Injera as some were not familiar with the food. The team is very much dedicated. I highly recommend people to work with them. Went to AU, UN , embassy of South Africa in Ethiopia and many other places that were educational to the team. I am already planning for my next trip to Ethiopia, they will be there to make the trip look easier.

      SEEING ADDIS ABABA DURING EASTER
      I arrived in Ethiopia during the Coptic Easter holiday, but in spite of this, the tour organisers made a good effort to show me the city. Entoto was impressive, but Marcato was scanty due to the season. I had a bonus visit to the AU Headquarters. I also met Lucy at the National Museum.

      AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE
      I had one of my most exciting travel experiences visiting Ethiopia, but the icing on the cake was Lalibela. The flight to Lalibela stopping over at Gonda added more value. As a civil engineer, in those churches, I saw a confluence of architecture, sculpture, engineering, and geology. My experience with the tour company Walk-In-Ethiopia makes me want to do this again.

      Great way to discover Addis Ababa
      It was a good way to discover Addis in a different way. Excellent guide and nice car. Very diverse program: fresh air in the mountains, learn abortus Ethiopia's rich and proud history. Also Merkato and Tomaco Coffee in the old French La Gare area was Lovely. Special thanks to guide Gashaw who passionately answered all my questions all Day.

      A whistle stop tour of Adis Ababa
      Gashaw our guide met us at the airport and took us on a whistle stop tour of Adis Ababa. We visited the museum where an informative guide introduced us to the back ground of Ethiopia as well as meeting Lucy. We then drove to a vantage point top of Entoto Mountain where the views down over the city are breath taking. We had a coffee stop there too. Next was a drive around the Mercato Africas largest market. A visit to Topocas for coffee, try a Spreece. Topped off our visit with a cultural show which included authentic music & dancing whilst eating amazing local cuisine washed down with honey wine. We highly recommend Gashaw , he is friendly, full of information and made our trip a special one. Even dropped us off at our hotel at the end of the evening. Thank you Gashaw 🙏🏼

      Perfect day trip in nature!
      I had a great time on this Day Trip tour from Addis to Lake Ziway - my tour guide Bre was super kind, knowledgable and accommodating. We saw birds, hippos, local communities and incredible scenery. I would highly recommend this tour - even for solo travelers like myself. The driver was great, safe and on-time. The drive from Addis to the lake is about 2 hours, but the landscape along the way was incredible. It really made my time in Addis special.

      Incredible day!
      This tour was the best experience in Ethiopia. I had the best day - my guide was very nice, knowledgeable and accommodating. The drive was about 2 hours from Addis to the Lake, but scenery of the lowlands farms was so beautiful it made the drive an experience too. I felt super safe with the driver as well, he drove very safe the whole day. Every part of the tour was the perfect amount of time and we saw so many animals, birds, people and nature spots.

      Great experience
      It would have been impossible to visit such a large and complex city in one day. Walk in Ethiopia Tour and Travel was able to organise a great tour, at a very affordable price, with a very serious but professional and friendly guide. It was a great tour. Thank you Habtamu for such an impeccable job.

      Jam packed, interesting, friendly
      I just had a day-long stopover in Addis and wanted to explore the city a little bit. This tour was a really great, informative day out that’s given me an entirely new insight to Ethiopia and Addis! Minile was friendly, overflowing with knowledge and really helpful. As a solo female traveller I felt really safe and supported. Definitely recommend!
