Beautiful times in Ethopia

Our tour guide was Eyob. He is a great tour guide, my experience in Ethopian was beautiful. He tooks as around, introduced us to new food. I recommend anyone planning to travel to Ethopia to have Eyob and his team as their tour guides.

Addis Ababa Layover Tour – Customizable City Highlights

Outstanding 4.5 hour city tour with Joe!

We were on a long layover in Addis Ababa, and decided to see what we could see of the city in a 4.5 hour tour. Honestly, we couldn’t have been happier with Joe as our tour guide for our first time in Addis Ababa (and Africa). Joe had excellent English communication and insight on how to deliver a tour with the just the right amount of “must sees” and side excursions to see the real city and learn from a local perspective. We never would have been able to cover what we did without Joe. We came away with a very good understanding of the city’s various neighborhoods and Ethiopia’s development in a changing region. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the less touristy side of the city, with adventures into the bustling market, a slip into an ethereal prayer service at a local church where we were the only foreigners, and tastes of local coffee and pastry. We are hooked and want to come back for more! Last but not least, we would be remiss not to mention what a lovely person Joe is — extremely warm and excited to show us “his country”, he became a friend after our time together and we hope to engage him again the next time we come!

Highly recommended!

I had the privilege of spending a day of a short stay in Addis Ababa on a tour with Akuye Tour’s Fitsum. Fitsum is an excellent, helpful, deep acquaintance with the history of the city (we visited museums, the great market of Addis, squares, an old train station and other important points of the city) and Ethiopian culture (he helped me by buying a children's book of Ethiopian legends for me to give as a gift to my niece). I highly recommend everyone who wants an exceptional tour in the Ethiopian capital.
