Wonderful Experience - “I booked a 3-day tour with Addis Gize Tour, and it was an amazing experience! Communication was smooth from the beginning, and the team was very responsive. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. The car was clean and well-maintained, and everything was organized on time. I especially enjoyed the cultural insights and the local food spots they recommended. Overall, great value for money—highly recommended!”

Fantastic - I had a fantastic experience with Addis Gize Tour. I booked their Addis Ababa city tour, and the service exceeded my expectations. The guide was punctual, very knowledgeable about Ethiopian history, and made the tour engaging and enjoyable. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and the team communicated clearly throughout the planning process. I especially appreciated the authentic local experiences, like the coffee ceremony. I would definitely recommend Addis Gize Tour to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable tour in Ethiopia.

The Best Experience Ever - I attended a five days conference with my colleagues at the “Political Capital of Africa”, Addis Ababa Ethiopia. Gize tours arranged an Uber us to go to the market. There, we got assistance with translation to the local language which made our shopping even simpler. I highly recommend Gize tours.
