Guided City Tour of Addis Ababa backed by well told historical facts - Amazing tour conducted by Yhun Eijgu of Liyu Tours. In 1 day we were able to see several impressive locations in Addis Ababa. I was able to get such a significant impression of the city and the people. To be noted that Yhun was so knowledgeable about the sites we visited including their historical facts.

Nice trip - This was a good tour for someone who is in search of a light trip to explore Addis Ababa’s main landmarks. We were able to learn a lot about the city’s history and culture from Yhun (I hope I got the name right) and then continued the trip with another guide named Amanuel. Both were informative and had a great knowledge of the history of Ethiopia. We loved the coffee shop stop & the aromatic perfectly prepared macchiato. We also had a glimpse of the famous merchato as it was raining so we passed by it and Amanuel did all the explanation and story-telling job. The National museum was interesting as well. The tour ended with the church on mount entoto where we had a panoramic view of the whole city from an altitude of 3,000 meters above sea level.

Excellent service - I called on the day of my arrival, asking for a city tour on the same day and it was facilitated and confirmed within minutes. Great experience overall. Lovely and trustworthy team. Can't wait to book more tours with them in the future.

Wonderful tour of Addis Ababa - I really enjoyed this tour of Addis Ababa, I had a long layover on my way to my next destination and this was perfect to get a quick feel for the city. We visited a view point on top of the city, a church older than the city itself, a museum, a coffee shop and a large open air market. Amanueal was super knowledgeable and a great guide who made my short time in Addis really enjoyable.

Amazing Solo Day Tour with Liyu! - I only had two days in Addis Ababa and both days I took a tour with Liyu and I cannot recommend them enough! This day tour was on my second day (after the food tour the previous afternoon). We stopped at the National Museum of Ethiopia to see Lucy's bones, one of the main Greek Orthodox churches (St George's Church), Mercato, the largest open-air market in Africa, and finally Entoto Park with a gorgeous view over Addis. It was fascinating to learn more about the Ethiopian Orthodox church and way of life. Both our guide and driver were FANTASTIC! Cannot recommend enough! :)
