Addis Ababa City Tour - I had a private tour with Mr Zee. He was extremely knowledgable of the area, engaging and flexible to take me to addition places to see more local sites. The tour is highly recommended.

Perfect day trip - Emmanuel was a fantastic and super educated tour guide, and Samuel was a skilled driver in the busy Addis traffic. We stopped at all the advertised stops, and it was a perfect way to spend several hours learning about Ethiopian and Addis history. The traditional vegetarian lunch was delicious and filling, and of course the coffee stop was perfect. Even though it was chucking down heavy rain at times, we were still able to see all the highlights, and the Mercado was fascinating to drive through. Ask for Emmanuel and Sammy!

Wonderful, well organized experience - Mr. Zerefa was a well informed and well organized guide. We made stops that weren’t on the itinerary just because I was interested, about which he was very gracious. A guide can really shape one’s impression of a whole country, and I have a very good impression of Addis Ababa!

Had a great day in Addis with Zerefa and Tamirat (-: - Being in town for a three-day work engagement, we had no time to prepare for any weekend activity. Surprisingly, we could still book our one-day city tour with "My Guzo" on very short notice at 7.30pm the night before we went. Zerefa, our guide, was treating us like family members. He was super organized, caring, and enthusiastic. We felt how much he loves his job as a tour guide. Not less important was the fact, that his driver Tamirat, was a relaxed and safe driver. We were in wonderful hands! Ultimately, we enjoyed the day with "Ze" and Tamirat so much, that we decided to book another tour to explore the countryside. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

AMAZING - Out tour was just perfect! He guided us to the city with a wondeful conversation about culture, culinary, religion and so many things! He also took us to Mount Entoto, to the best coffee shop in the city, to a local restaurant, to the National Museum and he also helped us to find some local art to bring back home. It was a lovely day and we are very grateful because Ethiopia is now in our heart! <3

One day guided tour to Addis - Many of the media were describing Addis Ababa to be a NOT SAFE city that's why I had planned not to visit. But when I enquired with some of the friends who worked/visit there said that is safe. So, I visited there. I experienced no hassle any where at Addis. The one day guided tour was excellent. The Travel Guide Mr. Adish was also very knowledgeable in social-cultural-religious and historical facts. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole stay at Addis.

Enjoyable and educational overview of Addis - We had the pleasure of spending the day with Alex who showed us the sights and sounds of this city. He is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We joined a diverse group of four others and got a real sense of the culture as well as the city. Make this your first activity upon arrival in Ethiopia and you will be very happy at days end!

Day Tour of Addis Ababa. - The tour guide (Alex) & myGuzo were great; Alex was a wealth of information & answered all of our questions fully. The agenda was perfect. They get 5 stars. Viator-not so much. They gave us an out of date phone number & incorrect information about lunch. Lunch itself was mediocre.
