Taste your way through Addis Ababa on a small-group Ethiopian food tour with local guide, multiple stops, coffee, juice, and optional beer.

“My guide was preoccupied with himself and his business, on the phone or talking to others leaving me standing around waiting a lot. We even went to his bank, so unprofessional. Viator refuses to give a refund because we did 2/3 things, basically the guide sucked. So ask first and don’t use or refuse Simeon Tour Group, Awful.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 3 reviews · 5 hours · from $56Best value

Addis Ababa food tasting with Beyaynetu, Shiro Wot, an Ethiopian coffee ceremony, Lucy fossils, and airport pickup in 5 hours.

“They sent a driver to take me to a restaurant, then we went to a market. I felt bad for the guy because he was not a guide and doesn't speak very good English. This is was the worst "food tour" I went on and it was not worth 60USD. Also the car wasn't air-conditioned, so I ended inhaling all the dust and fumes from around Addis. I gave it 2 stars for the sake of the nice young man who picked me up.”
