Great way to spend a long layover - This tour is highly recommended if you just a few hours to spare. It gives you an excellent snapshot of the sights and sounds of Addis Ababa and gives you an idea of what the rest of the country has to offer. Special shout-out to Jordan, a great tour guide who spoke excellent English.

enjoyable and informative glimpse of Ethiopia in short layover tour - I went with Joshua who worked hard to make my experience interesting. It was very enjoyable and informative and the layover tour was worth doing. Joshua was enthusiastic about his country and culture and did a wonderful job.

Excellent tour, capturing the true Addis Ababa experience in my limited time - Mike is a professional tour guide who customized a 4-hour tour based on my tight layover schedule. We still got through the Ethiopian Studies institute, Mount Entoto, multiple churches, merkato, and a coffee shop without feeling rushed. Addis Ababa is an amazing city to explore, and I strongly recommend exploring it with Mike of Habesha Wonder Tours.

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!

Excellent tour to learn about Addis Ababa! - Aelaf was the best tour guide! He is very knowledgeable about the city and even greeted us with coffee when he picked us up! He let us spend as much time as we wanted at each stop and also let us dictate the stops. We wanted to shop and he took us to several places to do just that. I learned so much about this vibrant city. If you want to learn more about Addis Ababa I highly recommend booking this tour. You will have a great time with Aelaf!

Very nice tour and guide guy - Michael was extremely kind, professional, and we learned a lot about Addis Ababa and Ethiopian culture. A major highlight was the food tour: Michael brought us to experience the best local cuisine the city has to offer. His personal touch and genuine enthusiasm are unmatched. I highly recommend him!
