During a recent layover in Addis Ababa, I decided to take advantage of the time and booked a family tour, and I’m so glad I did! As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with smiles and a genuine desire to ensure we had a great time. Our guide kaleb was knowledgeable, and really connected with my family, making the experience feel personal. The tour was perfectly tailored for our short layover. We enjoyed exploring vibrant marketplaces, visiting the National Museum to see Lucy, and even squeezing in some beautiful views from Entoto Hill. Every stop felt enriching and impactful. The tour included activities that captivated both the kids and adults. I highly recommend this tour for anyone with a layover in Addis Ababa. The service, the sights, and the warm hospitality made it an unforgettable experience for my family!
