A whistle stop tour of Adis Ababa - Gashaw our guide met us at the airport and took us on a whistle stop tour of Adis Ababa.
We visited the museum where an informative guide introduced us to the back ground of Ethiopia as well as meeting Lucy.
We then drove to a vantage point top of Entoto Mountain where the views down over the city are breath taking. We had a coffee stop there too.
Next was a drive around the Mercato Africas largest market.
A visit to Topocas for coffee, try a Spreece. Topped off our visit with a cultural show which included authentic music & dancing whilst eating amazing local cuisine washed down with honey wine.
We highly recommend Gashaw , he is friendly, full of information and made our trip a special one. Even dropped us off at our hotel at the end of the evening.
Thank you Gashaw 🙏🏼

A day in Addis Ababa - I was travelling from Ethiopia to Canada and had a layover in Addis Ababa. I was initially very nervous of stepping out of the hotel. That is when I met Gashaw and he told me all the good things Ethiopia and particularly Addis Ababa has in store for travellers.
A very rich culture & heritage, beautiful landscapes, history which dates million on years and amazing food. Gashaw arranged a half day tour for me (coz of my time constraints). My tour guide Berhanu and driver Teddy (who also played the role of a guide) were absolutely amazing.
They became more like friends to me and showed me what Gashaw had explained. We had an amazing lunch together at the historic"Taitu Hotel" and had amazing conversations about how rich and diverse the culture is in Ethiopia.
even though it was only a few hours, it has left an everlasting memory and I can't wait to go back there and be with the same people I was with.
I will highly recommend "Walk in Ethiopia Tour & Travel" and Gashaw, Berhanu and Teddy for their amazing hospitality and making my time worth.
See you guys soon again !!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE - I must say i had such a lovely time. Gashaw picked me from the hotel, he took me to the Ethiopia National Museum where i had such a wonderful experience learning about Ethiopian history as well as LUCY ☺️. We then proceeded to the most amazing Coffee shop, TOMOCA, where i had some amazing coffee. I have never been a coffee person but this introduced me to coffee and i am glad i did.
From there we proceeded to the market to purchase Ethiopian traditional dresses then headed for Dinner at the YOD ABYSSINIA CULTURAL RESTAURANT, this was such a lovely experience i even met my fellow kenya. We had such a wonderful time, dinner was amazing as well as the experience of tasting the local brew, which i wish I could have taken as my evening choice of drink but i suffer from honey allergies but i was comfortable to settle for St. George’s beer. Overall, i must say i was extremely happy and I would definitely recommend Gashaw to any person traveling to ADDIS.

Half day around Addis - We had a great time with the half-day tour visiting the National Museum, a panoramic view of Addis, the famous huge market in the city, a coffee shop with amazing Ethiopian coffee and for the finale, a dinner at a cultural restaurant. Additionally, Yosef is a very friendly tour guide who shared with us so much about Ethiopia. What a lovely day it was.

Yosef- The Best Addis Ababa Tour Guide - I was transiting via Addis Ababa due to a 1 day layover and wanted to experience all that Addis Ababa had to offer. My hotel strongly recommended the "Walk In Ethiopia" tour agency and I had a good telephone discussion with the manager and he agreed to send a great Tour guide and to cover all the major points of interest in Addis Ababa. Got to meet Yosep our tour guide, right on scheduled time He showed us all the major spots and accommodated my requests for experiencing the Ethiopian coffee ceremony and trying out the raw meat tradition of Ethiopia :) He is very engaging in conversation, knowledgeable in everything about Ethiopian civilization, traditions and culture and keen to share them with us. Ever smiling and very friendly- he aims to make a friend out of every traveller and you get to leave Ethiopia feeling very glad of having had such a great Tour guide. God bless and keep up the good work!!!

Safe but expensive - They charged me much more than what it says in TripAdvisor for a shorter tour, but both the guide and the driver were kind and safe, so that may be worth enough for a female solo traveller like me.
