I bumped into Bheki at Habesha Restaurant, 2 days before my departure to Ireland. We organized for a short tour the following day since I met him just when I was preparing myself to leave Ethiopia. Oh well, the next day we met, and he showed me interesting places around Addis, shared stories and the history of Ethiopia, later on we headed to a traditional Ethiopian wedding celebration, and he made sure I arrived safely to my hotel. It was really nice. I recommend him highly for a good tour in Ethiopia.We booked our trip with Beki not knowing anything about the company.

Beki organized a tour of various coffee roasters around Addis for a group of ~8 friends, including some Addis expats and some visitors from abroad. This was a unique experience and introduced me to some spots I wouldn't have otherwise found, including my new favorite spot where I get all my coffee now. His organization and communication skills were professional throughout the planning and implementation, and all the tour logistics went great. I would recommend him to anyone for Addis tours.I went on a tour of the merkato with Beki during a business trip in Addis in May.

I went on a tour of the merkato with Beki during a business trip in Addis in May. I can't speak highly enough about the experience - it was authentic, informative, and fun! Beki was extremely knowledgeable, and ensured I had a great time. After the merkato, he took me for a coffee tasting at the original Tomoca which was great, and told me about a coffee tasting tour he also does, which I am definitely going to do next time I am in Addis.
