The perfect introduction to Ethiopia's history and culture

5.00We only had a limited amount of time in Ethiopia, but thanks to Enat Ethiopia Tours we were able to make the most of every moment, including an excellent city tour of Addis Ababa. The tour gave us a great introduction to Ethiopian history, culture, and daily life. Visiting the National Museum, learning about the country's rich heritage, and experiencing the religious gathering for Mother Mary at the Holy Trinity Cathedral helped us understand Ethiopia on a much deeper level. What impressed us most was the personal service provided by Asfaw (Pogba) and his team. From the moment he welcomed us at the airport, we felt completely taken care of. Both him and Ashu were always available, incredibly responsive, and even accommodated changes to our itinerary without any problems. Pogba was always friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. We never felt rushed and had plenty of opportunities to ask questions and learn more about Ethiopia. Our time in Addis Ababa was the perfect ending to an amazing honeymoon in Africa. We are so grateful to Enat Ethiopia Tours for creating such wonderful memories and would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Ethiopia!

5.00I had a wonderful tour in Addis Ababa! Visiting the National Museum was absolutely worth it meeting Lucy in person was such an amazing experience. Spending time at Merkato was something I’ll never forget; it’s so full of life and energy and seeing how people work and move around there felt so authentic. Our guide, Ashu, was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and really made the experience special. I absolutely loved my time in Addis Ababa!

5.00Five Stars for our tour today. Our guide Ashu is very knowledgeable about Addis Ababa and history of Ethiopia and culture. We visited St. George’s Cathedral, the Mercato, up the mountain where we enjoyed the cultural experience of coffee with a light snack. We also visited the Martyrs Museum and learned about the tragedy that happened in the 1990’s here. don't hesitate to book with Enat Tours
