Quick tour through Addis Ababa - My husband and I booked this Addis Ababa day tour to see the highlights of the city during our layover in Ethiopia. We were more constrained on time and had about 4 hours to see as much as we could which we were initially stressed about. However, Gashaw was super accommodating and very efficient in taking us to see all the highlights we would’ve seen during the full tour (except for the Cathedral) at a quickened pace. We were so thankful that he was able to condense it so we could make the most of our layover and see the highlights of Addis Ababa. Gashaw was super informative and it was awesome to be taken around by him. Thank you Gashaw!!

So worth it! - Loved spending the day with Desale Sisay. He is an excellent tour guide who took very good care of me. This tour lasted 6.5 hours and I got to see many highlights of Addis. Desale and the driver were always looking out for me to be safe and comfortable. It was rainy in the early afternoon so did not get to see much of the Mercato. I would suggest to the tour company that they indicate that not much is open at the Mercato on a Sunday, and especially if it is raining, consider integrating a second museum into the itinerary. I've had coffee in several places in Addis but the one Desale took me to had the best testing coffee!

Fabulous Addis Ababa City Tour - My wife and I took this day tour of Addis Ababa with Gashaw from Aspire on a wintry day of heavy rain. We didn’t feel cheated a bit by the weather because Gashaw was so knowledgeable about European history and so thoughtful about providing an umbrella escort from our car to the Tomoca café. He also offered lots of flexibility about the length of time in each spot and responded to our interests by taking us to a fantastic traditional Ethiopian restaurant steeped in history. I greatly appreciated how candid Gashaw was in sharing his opinions. My wife especially valued Gashaw’s insights about Ethiopian culture and how easygoing and patient he was with her many questions about the joys and challenges of life in Addis Ababa. We highly recommend this tour with Gashaw.

Don’t Miss this Day Tour! - Such a wonderful day tour! I couldn’t have asked for a better tour around Addis! My guide was super thoughtful in creating the best experience for me and tailored my day according to what I wanted to see. We stopped at so many locations around the city, and I learned so much about Addis. As a solo female traveler I felt incredibly safe. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great day tour around the city!
