    Thanks to Lamesgn and Abere. They made my visit to Addis Abeba and specially to the Mercator Market memorable. I was very interested in Coffee roasting and I loved to have the opportunity of tasting it as well. I am thankful I had a layover for some hours and could do this Tour with Lamesgn and Abere.

    Why only a 5-star ranking? My guide Lamesgn deserved at least 6 stars! Very well organized. I had a wonderful day in Addis Ababa. He’s always eager to share his knowledge and makes sure you feel truly welcome. I highly recommend his services in Addis Ababa. BEST. GUIDE. EVER.
