Quick history lesson - Fitsum was a fantastic guide - he was so knowledgeable and such a great ambassador for his country! I really appreciated his knowledge about Indigenous Peoples in Ethiopia!

Great tour!! - Highly recommend this tour. The communication was clear and easy leading up to pickup. The vehicle was nice and new. At all times my family felt safe with the visits and driving around. What we most liked about the tour was the ability to change durations for sites we wanted to spend more or less time at. The coffee ceremony at the top of Entonto was unexpected and memorable. We also changed the order of sites. Though we were the only ones in this group tour so this may not be possible for all. Most appreciated was a small detour at the end to buy a souvenir for my daughter. Thank you Fitsum (guide) for the great authentic tour well suited for my family.

Great tour! - Our. Family enjoyed a safe and fulfilling tour of Addis. Communication about pickup and punctuality top notch. What was most enjoyed was the ability to work with the guide and driver to reorder the tour, change durations and the order. This may not be available to all but my family of four were the only ones in the group tour. I would highly recommend using Beka. Also, my daughter really wanted a specific souvenir and we were able to take a slight detour on the way back to the hotel to shop and buy it. Great tour!!

Beka is the best - Beka was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. I learned so much about Ethiopia, culture, people, history, etc. he had an answer to just about every question I asked. He was super fun to hang out with for the day. I will definitely be returning to Ethiopia to see him again!

Informative - Very informative!! I booked this trip 4 hours prior to the start time, our guide was not only able to accommodate our time restrictions but was able to fit in all the sites I had asked to see. We had an excellent experience.

We experienced Addis like with a friend - We were in town for business and did not leave until late on a Friday night so we decided to book a half day tour without expecting much. It turned out to be a perfect six hours of experiencing the capital with our very knowledgeable and friendly guide, Gashaw. He is a perfect guide, it felt like a friend showing us Addis. Very welcome change from sitting in the hotel room / conference room and working all week. So glad we decided to do this to see something else. Do not expect a luxury tour, but with an old yet working condition Toyota Corolla you don’t stick out in the city and can even tour the mercato. The guide was very aware of the surroundings and looked out for us, we felt safe, informed as well as entertained. He even did some negotiations for us. Do not miss the view from the mountain!
