Great Guide - The guide was very knowledgeable and brought us to many different places around Addis. We visiting merkato and were able to go on the roof of a local restaurant to get a better view. We then learned how to make coffee and injera in a local restaurant on the top of Entoto mountain. This was the highlight of the experience and we had the local experience here. Would recommend this tour for a local taste of the city.

A wonderful tour in Addis! - We had an absolutely wonderful time touring Addis Ababa with Anteneh. He was extremely knowledgeable, very professional and very kind it was as if we were with family. It was a wonderful tour that combined historical facts, cultural sites with beautiful viewpoints such at mount Entoto and the impressive Zoma museum and Garden.I would strongly recommend for anyone visiting Ethiopia with time in Addis to book this tour above all others.

The best IN ETHIOPIA - Firstly the trip was amazing and well planned secondly I have to commend the people in this organisation, when I was in danakil I slipped and fell into the acid but Antenneh the owner was absolutely brilliant he paid a car for me to take me to the hospital(it was around 80-100$) then he was calling me everyday to see if I was okay and visited me in the hospital to see if I was doing well and bought me juices! Genuinely I don’t know what I would’ve done if he didn’t pay for the car to the hospital! Amaseganado

100% recommend to Anteneh - Anteneh organized the excursions based on the time I stayed in Adis Ababa Tour the Merkato, Saint Bahita Church, Ethnic Museum and view from Monte Entoto Where we stop to eat in a local place and the owner taught me to cook injera and make coffee manually as usual in Ethiopia The next day I took myself on a boat trip where we saw many native birds and fed pelicans On the last day we did a trek across the Portuguese bridge where we could see many red-breasted baboons which can only be seen in Ethiopia He is a very respectful, attentive and friendly person Keep telling it!
