Best city tour of Addis Ababa - This tour is a great way to see the city and the museums either if you are here for a short or extended period of time. The guide Kalab was very knowledgeable of the exhibits in the museum and about Ethiopian culture. Taking me to the national, ethnological museums. Along with a view of the city and the largest market in Africa, the Merkato. . Was also very friendly and could talk about any subject. Would highly recommend this tour.

I highly recommend this tour! 🙂 - I took the "Addis Ababa - Guided Tour” on 29 July - and Joseph was my guide. I would just like to offer my thanks and commend Joseph as he was excellent! 🙂Joseph was very knowledgeable of Addis Ababa and Ethiopia’s history, communicated that knowledge very well and provided an excellent tour of this city. 🙂 Thanks very much Joseph! 🙂 PS. The car that Joseph brought along for the tour (a white BYD) was also great (much better than a Tesla!) - I highly recommend this tour! 🙂

Transfer trip - Although today's weather is normal. Many markets in Ethiopia are not open on Sunday, but it's a good tour guide. Teddon changed the schedule for me and my flight was delayed. The program calculated a good time to transfer me to the museum and explained a lot of local history and politics and culture with me. Definitely promised!

Recommended - much history to know and learn, spring weather, I expected more heat, the market is worth visiting, its diametrically opposite culture and the national museum where Lucy is located, the oldest fossil of our ancestors

Great Layover Tour of Addis - Joseph was a wonderful guide. He was enthusiastic and friendly, as well as informative and insightful. We were in Addis Ababa for a long layover and decided to spend the time seeing a little of the city. We stopped at Mount Entoto, the Merkato, the Ethnographic Museum, and the former estate of Haile Selassie, Guenete Leul Palace. Joseph made sure we hit the highlights of the city in a relatively short time, including a final stop at a lovely converted train station serving delicious Ethiopian coffee. I highly recommend this tour!
