Best way to spend layover in Addis - Having a longer layover in Addis may not be a waste of time. Guys from Ethio Top Land Tours can make this time enjoyable. I recommend everybody to take part in this tour. Ama sagnalo Guys !

Amazing Tour of Addis Ababa - First visit to Ethiopia was not sure whether to stay in airport for layover or visit city. Contacted Etio Top Tours to ask about possible day trip. Lamesgn, the tour guide himself, messaged me back immediately and shared all details. He was regularly in touch up until my flight. Lamesgn picked me up at the airport as expected and helped ensure I saw all the good places in Addis Ababa. He also ensured I got nice, fresh vegetarian breakfast & lunch as per my request. Coffee was out of this world good. Felt more like having a new friend for a day, than a simple guided tour. I wish to come back for a longer tour. Had a great time and highly recommend this tour guide and company. My driver Silabat was also cautious and helpful.

A wonderful day! - Our tour guide Lamesgn was full of energy and enthusiasm, trying his best to explain things to us. With him and the driver, we spent six hours today covering many places. We met a respectable museum guide for 35 years at Menelik II's palace. We joined a group of young boys outside the Entoto Maryam Cathedral when they diligently memorizing the Bible. We didnot get off the car but spent considerable time driving through a huge open market observing thriving businesses. The day will be memorable.

Bad,worst, RUN - The experience was horrible. The tour wasn’t 7 hours but more like 3 hours. The tour guide barely spoke English and the driver didn’t want to turn on the air conditioner nor let the windows down because it was hot. Most of the time the tour guide was on his phone laughing and talking. When we went to the market he walked really fast and only stayed there a few minutes. Please save your money and time and choose a different company.
