This was a truly memorable tour of Addis. Moges, our guide, was very knowledgeable, interesting and kind. He took us on a combination of public transportation and taxis. He was flexible to do what we wanted. We spent hours in the fascinating market, visited museums and had the best authentic coffee in town. Highly recommended!Gashaw was absolutely excellent showing me and my 4-year-old son the sites of Addis. Entertaining a child on a tour is no easy feat but he did it. My son even said, "Gashaw is really smart and knows a lot. He should have a job showing people around the city." 😄

I had a rushed reservation and was completely unsure of what I wanted to do. But after talking to Gashaw and meeting him, I was sure of what I wanted. Our tour encompassed all of the greatest sites in the city, and because he was so knowledgeable, I learned so much about the history and current climate of the city/country. Gashaw made sure I was always comfortable and did/saw what I wanted. He is also very humble, wise, and open minded. I like to think we struck a good friendship by the end of the day. He is an excellent tour guide. Highly recommended👍🏼We had a wonderful tour with Gashew, he was a very friendly and enthusiastic guide with excellent English and huge knowledge of Ethiopia.

We had a wonderful tour with Gashew, he was a very friendly and enthusiastic guide with excellent English and huge knowledge of Ethiopia. We were only visiting for the day on a stopover but he gave us such a great overview of the history and culture of Ethiopia it made us want to return to explore the country further. Email correspondence beforehand was excellent and the tour customised to our preferences. We visited a local family in a village in the hillside and cooked and ate injera with them which was just wonderful. Lunch was fabulous in a beautiful circular building which used to be the Queen’s residence. We visited the Entoto mountains and when it rained Gashew was flexible and took our children for the best smoothies we’ve ever had! We drove through the mercato which was also wonderful. I researched this tour extensively and this company were the most cost effective by far. Highly recommended.Gashaw was a truly excellent guide, super knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible.

Gashaw was a truly excellent guide, super knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. We had a great time visiting museums, Entoto mountain, coffee shops, churches and merkato. In this city, you really need someone with a car who knows their way around. We did things that I never would have been able to do on my own (such as walk around merkato or go inside St George’s church). When I said I was interested to see the synagogue, he knew exactly where to find it. We also had a delicious traditional lunch with honey wine. I couldn’t recommend it more, and I hope to see Gashaw again in Addis sometime soon!
