Exploring the city - A day around Addisababa will always remain a beautiful memory for me. Gashaw and I met at my hotel and headed to the University and the former home of Hailie Selassie. I learned a great deal about Ethiopian history and was able to see regional artifacts and cultural items. My guide is not only a lovely person but also very knowledgeable with a talent to weave a story around historical facts. We had lunch at a modern restaurant and took a drive up the mountain for stunning views of the city. We had the most delicious coffee break before heading to the Merkato, a very interesting experience in itself. I loved my day touring the city and hope to return again.

Great Day with Gashaw! - I had a day to myself in Addis Abeba as a solo traveler and wanted to see some of the city. Gashaw was an amazing guide! He went above and beyond any expectations. It was such a pleasure to spend the day with him. His knowledge and understanding of the city and its history was invaluable.

Outstanding - My half-day tour of Addis Ababa with Gashow was truly special. Not only did we manage to pack in a lot of places and activities in about eight hours, Gashow was outstanding in his knowledge of the city and also in ensuring that I made the most of the little time I had during my layover. In fact, we got along very well and I’ve made a friend in Addis Ababa in him. I highly recommend the service. If you do choose it, ask for Gashow.

Perfect day in Addis - This was my second tour with Moges, having toured the city with him in 2019. Both times were interesting, enjoyable and delicious (and we felt very safe)! His insights on everything, from the ever-changing geopolitical situation in the country, to where to get the best avocado smoothie made our day truly special. Don't miss out on the recycling section of the market - it's like nothing you'll experience anywhere else!

Is like having a friend in Addis Ababa! - As a solo female traveller it took me some time to pick up a tour in Addis Ababa. I am so happy I did this tour! Gashaw is a great tour guide and I felt super safe while being in the city. It felt like having a friend in Ethiopia! Totally recommended!

Excellent, Knowledgeable guide of Addis - I highly recommend Gashaw as a tour guide. He is professional, respectful and knowldgeable about Addis Ababa. He is more than happy to tailor your time around whatever you are most interested and excited about seeing in the city. For our tour, we visited Mercato and St George church (as well as stopping for coffee and tea a few times along the way). I would highly highly recommend talking to Gashaw if you are interested in seeing and learning more about Ethiopia

Addis top experience!!! - Today we had a full day with Gashaw, he is an excellent guide who adapted his route to show us the places to visit in Addis Ababa. Discovering the Ethnological Museum with him has been fantastic, his storytelling and knowledge of Ethiopian culture, history and traditions has left us delighted. We were also able to walk through Merkato with full confidence and enjoyed the gastronomy and coffee of Adis among other experiences. Top day ending in Top View 😉 Thank you very much Gashaw.

Awesome Addis Tour - Had a very interesting and fun-filled day will Gashaw who was my guide for the day.I learnt alot and I would say he was quite informed and interesting company through the half day tour.He picked on time and helped me explore Addis Ababa. He was part of my experience as I visited the museum in Addis Ababa, St George's Chapel, tasted Ethiopian food and finally had a taste of tej ( which I now wanna carry home ).All in all I would recommend Aspire Tours for any Ethiopia adventures
