Amazing Experience - We did an amazing city tour with Anteneh. We went to vivid Mercato, the biggest open air market in Africa, visited Lucy at the National Museum and the birthplace of Addis Ababa at Mount Entoto. We also learned how to make the traditional Ethiopian bread injera and took part in traditional coffee ceremony, testing coffee from its origin, rich in flavor. Very interesting to get so much first hand insights into Ethiopian daily life and history. Highly recommended!

He is an excellent tour guide and he organised everything perfectly for me - the Addis city walk and the Danakil Depression tour. He is friendly, competent, attentive and very knowledgeable about Addis & Ethiopia, he has a true soul to his culture & country, he made my trip to Addis and Ethiopia unforgettable. If you're visiting Addis and Ethiopia, I highly recommend him for an exceptional travel experience.

Incredible way to spend a stopover in Addis Ababa - We had a stopover in Addis Ababa on our honeymoon. We setup a tour with Anteneh and it was one of the high points of our trip! Anteneh took us around the city helped us experience the history and beauty of the city. He took us to the museum to see Lucy, we traveled to the market, and experienced the coffee ritual with a local Ethiopian family. Anteneh Is an amazing guide, speaks great English, and you’ll be better off for knowing him!

Immersive tour and fantastic guide - We have just a day to get to know Adis Ababa and we found the perfect tour and the perfect guide for it. Anteneh took care of us and accommodated the tour according to our expectations. He was super attentive to help us with everything even before arriving to Ethiopia. Within this tour you can expect a mix of urban lifestyle, museums, local gastronomy and traditions. The best part for us was the coffee ritual with an amazing and welcoming Ethiopian family. For anyone willing to discover Adis Ababa, this is your tour.

I couldn’t have asked for a better guide, and I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Addis Ababa!

Unforgettable Addis Tour! - I had an incredible time exploring Addis Ababa with Antena as my guide! From start to finish, he made sure I experienced the true heart of the city. Antena took me to some beautiful, hidden spots that I would never have found on my own, giving me a real feel for the local culture and history. Each stop was more interesting than the last, and he shared so many fascinating insights along the way. And the food? Absolutely delicious! Antena knows the best places to try authentic Ethiopian dishes, and every meal was a treat for my taste buds. I felt like I was getting a true insider’s experience, tasting flavors that only a local would know about. If you're looking for a memorable and authentic tour in Addis Ababa, I can’t recommend Antena enough. He’s friendly, knowledgeable, and made my trip unforgettable. Thank you, Antena!

I strongly recommend hospitable, considerate and reliable guide Anteneh and Yosef!! - I had really nice experience with Anteneh and his brother Yosef. Both of them are really considerate and hospitable. First, I went to Merkato market, the biggest market in Africa, and it was really interesting. They have really interesting stuffs such as traditional basket, ethiopian unique coffee kettle(Jebena), a variety of incense and spices, kocho(false banana powder) and ethiopian cheese.. etc (It's even hard to mention all of things i'd seen in market haha). Also, there is a massive recylcing section in Merkato market. They were recycling almost everything. The atmosphere there was overwhelming. Thanks to reliable guide Yosef, i could enjoy the section safely. Afterwards, we went to One of the most historical orthodox church. It was really interesting time to learn history and culture of Orthodox church. Thanks to hospitable, considerate and reliable guide Anteneh and Yosef, i could fully enjoy the jewel of Addis Ababa! I strongly recommend!!
