5.00We have travelled all over the world and this was one of the best tours we have been on, our guide Yonas was fantastic, knowledgeable and personalized our day. The best part was having a traditional Ethiopian meal in a local restaurant along with the coffee ceremony. Great job Yonas!

5.00We started with a visit at the museum near Menelik II palace then we seen the house before going to Entoto park. Sadly it was a cloudy day of rainy season. Whatever, it was interesting, full of details about the living of a figure of ethiopian history. The guide was pleasant, sharing his knowledge till the delicious lunch we had at a pretty simple restaurant. I would recommend.
