Family Tour of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - We were recommended Eyayaw Tours Ethiopia by a friend and we were so grateful to have this contact when we arrived into Addis Ababa. We had a full days tour of Addis with Eyayaw and we had an incredible insight and historical tour of the city. Eyayaw's knowledge of Ethiopias' history was remarkable, and we all felt so comfortable in his company. Eyayaw balanced our family's need so well - imparting historical details of the city and country, while ensuring our three young children (aged 10,9&7 yrs) were entertained as well. I highly recommend Eyayaw Tours Ethiopia.

Great tour guide - Great tour guide. Very knowledgeable about Addis and Ethiopia. Eyayaw took us to places we'd never have gone by ourselves and was very flexible in responding to our preferences. We'll definitely use him again.
