Our guide, Kasseye, was incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the rich history of Ethiopia and Africa to life, especially at the National Museum with the story of Lucy. Yoki was a wonderful supervisor, ensuring our comfort and that everything ran smoothly throughout the day. We loved the packed itinerary, from the incredible views at Mount Entoto to the vibrant chaos of the Merkato. The stops at Tomoca for coffee and the beautiful Beata LeMariam church were perfect additions. This tour is an efficient and insightful way to experience the best of the city. Highly recommended!Read more”
