Great food and coffee with very knowledgeable friendly guide - I had a wonderful day with Mr Zee, who was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The food was amazing and it was fantastic to drive through Merkato Market, then visit and smaller less crazy spice market. I really enjoyed learning how to make injera and the coffee ceremony in a local village. I would highly recommend this tour with Mr Zee.

Tasty tour - An exceptional guide with great English, we explored the city to find the essentials of Ethiopian food and culture. The city itself still has a ways to go to develop its tourism infrastructure, but there was great effort put into the tour to ensure a positive experience.

BEST TOUR EVER. - I was a little nervous spending a day in Addis Ababa since im a solo female traveler and dont speak the local language. I'm really glad that I booked this tour because I had an unforgettable day.
I had Mr. Z as my guide and he made me feel very safe and comfortable throughout the whole tour. He picked me up at the hotel and I visited the community bakery to see how the wheat bread was made. Unfortunately people at the kitchen where the injera demonstration is done were on break. Mr. Z explained the process at the community bakery so I still got a sense on how its done. Then we headed up to the mountain village for the coffee ceremony. Before we got there, Mr. Z got some water for me since the elevation is very high and some people may be prone to altitude sickness. He also carried my heavy bag for me up the hill from the parking lot since I was struggling. Once we got to the place, Mr. Z explained everything very thoroughly and was very knowlegeable. Next we headed to the market to see the spices, honey wine, incense and grains. Then finally we visited a restaunt and ate injera with a variety of different sauces. I visited during the holy week so everything was vegan. The food was sooooo good. Afterwards Mr. Z dropped me off at the airport where I waited for my next flight that evening. The airport is further away from the city but Mr. Z was happy to make my journey as easy as possible.
Oh I forgot to mention Mr. Z is amazing at taking photos. I have so many good ones that I can post on social media now.
If you are thinking about taking a tour in Addis Ababa....TAKE THIS ONE AND REQUEST MR. Z. I had the best time ever, was well taken care of and wished I stayed in Ethiopia longer.

Incredible day in Addis! - An unforgettable day with Zerefa! He was so kind and thoughtful in making sure I had the best experience possible. His knowledge of the city and its incredible history was unmatched, and he even drove us past several additional sights to make the most of our time. He really values sharing his country and culture with his tours rather than purely tourist places. Thank you for an incredible day, Z -- I will be sending anyone who comes to Addis this tour as a must do!

FANTASTIC experience - My guide Seid and driver muse were fantastic! We had great food, great coffee, and many good laughs. I felt very safe and right at home with these 2. In addition to food they took me to all of the main sights in the city. Seid was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and excited about his city and taught so many things. They also were flexible and willing to take you to whatever sights you wanted to see and even did a museum visit.
Great people and great time! Highly recommend this tour and driver/guide!!!!

Flexible Guide! - Great tour, our guide Zerefa was amazing! We had actually done two of the items on the itinerary in a previous Addis tour the weekend before, but Zerefa was very flexible in taking us to different spots. Instead of Tomoca and stopping for lunch, we went to the large clothes market and stopped at spice and honey stores. Seeing the enjera business and trying to make some was fun!
