Great time in Abbie - It was absolutely amazing. Henok was very knowledgeable and personable. Got to understand Ethiopia a tiny bit even after five hours. Also Miley the driver was also very good and helpful.

One fascinating day in Addis - I had a great private tour with Henok and his friend! As a woman on my own I felt more secure going around Addis with a guide, and Henok didn't disappoint! Having just arrived in the country, it was really fascinating for me to hear about the wealth of Ethiopia's history and culture, seeing Lucy (and her less-known, older cousin nearby), visiting the crypt of the Bahta Mariam Church and the tomb of Menelik II, watching Addis from above on the green and peaceful Mount Entoto (the 'lung' of Addis) - but also having interesting, candid discussions about what it means to be a youth in Ethiopia today. I thoroughly enjoyed my day, can only recommend them!

Excellent Addis Overview - This tour was just what I wanted for my layover. A mix of history, food and culture. And especially coffee! Henok is incredibly knowledgeable about all those things. And although this was a whistle stop stay in Addis for me I now have a much better appreciation for the city, the country and its history.

Amazing Layover Tour of Addis Ababa - The Addis Ababa Layover Tour with my tour guide, Henok, was absolutely amazing. Since I had a ten hour layover, I had a free hotel from Ethiopian Airlines. Henok arrived at my hotel early and waited while I freshened up after my long flight. We got started at 8am. We went to the National Museum, Mount Entoto, lunch and a few other sights. Henok was extremely informative, pleasant and easy to get along with. The food at Addis Ababa Restaurant was simply amazing and he was able to assist in my request to grab souvenirs for my loved ones. I hope to visit Ethiopia again and if I do, I will definitely use this company again.

Unique experience - had a great time during the Addis Ababa stopover tour. The reservation process and pickup were
smooth despite an early hour. My guide Henok was very knowledgeable and passionate about
Ethiopian culture and history and I couldn't ask for a better person to show me around We went
to several unique places, including a private tour to see the treasures of the Holy Trinity Cathedral
and understand the Ethiopian Orthodox religion. We had traditional food and coffee at great spots.
I loved that the tour was very flexible, adjusted to the interests I expressed and the time of my
layover. I wish could spend more time in Ethiopia, but hope to come back and explore more of
this magical country. I would repeat the tour and services of my guide with no doubts.
