    Lamesgn is a wonderful guide and so knowledgeable about the city's culture, history, food, and more. We went on a holiday and he even adapted for some parts of the usual tour that were closed and took us on a very special sightseeing trip around the city. Highly recommend him for touring Addis Ababa!

    First visit to Ethiopia was not sure whether to stay in airport for layover or visit city. Contacted Etio Top Tours to ask about possible day trip. Lamesgn, the tour guide himself, messaged me back immediately and shared all details. He was regularly in touch up until my flight. Lamesgn picked me up at the airport as expected and helped ensure I saw all the good places in Addis Ababa. He also ensured I got nice, fresh vegetarian breakfast & lunch as per my request. Coffee was out of this world good. Felt more like having a new friend for a day, than a simple guided tour. I wish to come back for a longer tour. Had a great time and highly recommend this tour guide and company. My driver Silabat was also cautious and helpful.
