Addis Ababa Stopover & Layover Tour – Private, Fast & Flexible

A fantastic way to discover Addis Ababa during a layover

🇮🇹 Fantastic experience, especially considering that I had the opportunity to visit Addis Ababa during a long layover. In just 4 hours we managed to see and experience so much: we visited the city museum, admired Addis Ababa from above, and participated in two traditional coffee ceremonies, a truly interesting experience to better understand Ethiopian culture and traditions. The visit ended with a typical dinner in a very pleasant restaurant, where we also watched traditional music performances. A special thanks to my guide, Dawit Zerihun, who was simply perfect: very kind, helpful, and more than thorough in his explanations. He speaks excellent English and was able to tell me about the city, the culture, and the local traditions in a clear and engaging way. A truly excellent way to take advantage of a long layover and manage to discover Addis Ababa even with little time available. I highly recommend this visit and, above all, Dawit as a guide! 🇬🇧 Fantastic experience, especially considering that I had the opportunity to visit Addis Ababa during a long layover.

Addis Eats Food Tour with 12+ Tastings

Highlight of my Addis trip — perfect tour

A fantastic experience. With so much food to choose from in Addis Ababa, I hesitated to book a tour — I'm so glad I did. I tried things I'd never find on my own, and my guide, Fitsum, was amazing. (He's the guy you always wish you had to show you around the food scene in a new place, but rarely meet.) I could not recommend this more highly.

Berbere Bites Food Tour with 14+ Tastings

A must do while in Addis Ababa! Highly recommended!

Guided tour with Fitsum was one of the most fun experiences on our Africa vacation and it was also the first food tour that we did in our life! The tour lasted 4 hours and it's absolutely incredible as to how many different places we have been and things we have tried! The tour is also perfectly planned geographically, so the flow was great, and we got to see different sides of Addis Ababa and it was never walking back to anything, always something new. Besides the food he has also taught us A LOT about history and culture, so when we did sightseeing tour after, so many things we already knew because of him. Cascara drink at the beginning was absolutely FANTASTIC, it's worth coming back for! HAHA Amazing thing about the tour, that even though we pretty much ate for 4 hours straight, we didn't feel like we will explode afterwards, as everything was thought out carefully. Being that we did both food tour and sightseeing tour, if you have limited time in Addis Ababa I HIGHLY recommend you do just the A Chef's Tour Addis Ababa food tour alone, it's MUCH more worth it!!!
