Tours and Tickets by Go Addis Tours
Overview
Menus full of unfamiliar ingredients can make it intimidating to try all of Ethiopia’s famous foods on your own. This guided tour is a great introduction to Ethiopia's thriving culinary scene and introduces you to vegetarian, beef, and fish dishes that you might otherwise skip over, plus fresh fruit juices, coffees, and beer. Plus, touring the Atlas neighborhood with a guide means you get a local perspective on the area’s foodie culture as you explore.

I had only 1 day to see Addis Ababa and Go Addis Tour made it possible to see the city where it matters. Highly recommend this tour.

Review of: Local Ethiopian Food Tour
Birhanu is a true professional and a good man. Even though the price may seem higher compared to local providers at a first glance, you truly pay for the quality here. And that is, in my opinion, worth it while travelling to this special country. During the one single day we've spent together I got to know so much about Ethiopian culture, history (& taste of the food). I would totally recommend having a tour with Birhanu, especially for the beginning of your stay in Ethiopia so you get a crash-course of a local life early on. Birhanu also connected me with other guide friends in different cities, which made my travels so much more easy and smooth.…

Review of: Local Ethiopian Food Tour
Birhanu became my friend and we chat on WhatsApp. He is a professional tour leader and knows all the historical and social information and loves his country and is educated even in the Ethiopian cuisine. He has ample information. I recommend dealing with his tourism company and he made me love Ethiopia very much and ready to visit it again in cooperation with him…

Review of: Local Ethiopian Food Tour
It’s really hard not to have a good experience when Ethiopian food and coffee are involved. My guide, Bre, was an excellent facilitator of that experience. So good that I hired him for 2 additional days to take me outside of Addis Ababa. Go Addis was very responsive to all my questions. It’s a lot of food for one day and I was tempted to skip the “Fish” experience. So glad I didn’t. It was delicious. We also sampled coffee here and there along the way and visited the OG “Starbucks”, Tomoca Coffee. Not easily located if you don’t have access to a digital map. Ask about fasting days. I completely respect religious observations but it’s a little awkward to eating all day in front of someone who is observing fasting obligations. There are not a lot of tourist roaming around Addis right now, especially solo female ones, and English is not common so I highly recommend using Go Addis Tours.…

Thanks review. Reading it felt like a 5-star review, though we do understand that the food tour on a fasting day when the guide cannot join for eating, can be less than perfect. Usually this ends up not being an issue as there are other clients though you ended up on a solo tour. We're happy we got to show you around Addis and further afield and thanks for choosing us!
