  • One Day in Addis

    The city tour of Addis Ababa was a wonderful experience and a great way to connect with the city. Our guide, Birhanu, was warm, knowledgeable, and brought Addis’s history and culture to life through thoughtful stories and local insight. The pace was relaxed, the stops were meaningful, and it offered a genuine feel for the city beyond the highlights. I’d highly recommend it to anyone wanting an authentic introduction to Addis Ababa.

    I had a great experience with Go Further Tours, planning my first visit to Ethiopia. Xavi and Bre were extremely professional, accommodating, quick with any necessary pivots and always attentive and responsive throughout the entire process. Not only are they great company men but they are also good people, which makes every stage of planning/traveling all the more enjoyable. The organization and diligence were both extremely helpful and reassuring, especially because this was my first visit to Africa. These gentlemen were patient, steadfast and delivered beyond expectations. I truly have "no notes." I enjoyed thoroughly and would highly recommend the tour group to those who are seeking one.

  • Great experience!

    I highly recommend Mulugeta as a tour guide. Not only is he a thorough professional, but the level of respect, knowledge and warmth he shows his visitors leaves a lasting impression on Addis ababa and Ethiopia in general. Thank you Mulugeta!

  • Excellent Addis Ababa Day Tour for Day Layover

    We just completed a private day city tour of Addis Ababa with Go Further and highly recommend this for anyone visiting the city. We were taking advantage of a day in the city as part of the Ethiopian Airlines layover programme. This is a great option if you want to break up your travel or just experience something different. We flew from Hong Kong to ADD and then on to Toronto with 17 hours in ADD. After arriving at around 5am we found the Ethiopian Airlines customer service desk near the transfer area and were issued a voucher for the Skylight Hotel. This voucher also acts as a visa so you can go through normal immigration lanes and then find the hotel transfer desk after customs. From there it is a short complementary bus ride to the hotel when they take your voucher and give you room for the day. All of this is included in your airfare with Ethiopian Airlines. As we had the day in Addis Ababa we decided to do a private tour and found Go Further. We met Joseph our driver at a coffee shop near to the hotel and then met up with Birhanu our guide for the day. Prior to this the booking with Go Further had been super easy and they were able to come up with an option that met our needs perfectly. Birhanu had been in touch on WhatApp prior to our visit so we knew we could get in contact should anything happen with our flights or plans. The tour itself was super interesting and gave a good feeling for the city. We started at Shola Market and then did a visit to the national museum. Birhanu was extremely knowledgeable about both and really brought them to life compared an unguided visit. After the museum was a delicious lunch, coffee shop visit and then more city sights including a drive up to one of the highest points in the city. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate for views but the visit was extremely interesting. We were eventually dropped back at the hotel in the afternoon in time for a quick nap and chance to freshen up before our onward journey to Toronto at 11pm. Luggage was checked through all the way from Hong Kong so made the day nice and easy (just remember to pack a change of clothes and toiletries in your carry-on). We plan to do the food tour with Go Further on our way back to HKG and are really looking forward to that. I would highly recommend both the layover with Ethiopian Airlines and of course the tour with Go Further. The private option worked well for us as it gave a bit more flexibility should anything in our inwards travel be delayed (thankfully it was all on time - early even).

  • Excellent Tour with lots of interesting information

    I was stopping over at Addis Ababa for a couple of days and decided to book a city tour with Go Further. It was formerly known as Go Addis and it was highly recommended by Lonely Planet. My guide's name was Mulugeta. Go Further had been very responsive to my queries. I even received clear instructions and reminders before the tour. I also like the fact that Mulugeta sent me an email beforehand introducing himself. We met up at Barista's Coffee early in the morning, with the driver Yousef. It was a very enjoyable day. We spent some time at Shola Market. Mulugeta gave me detailed explanation of items (spice, coffee beans, coffee pots etc) that were sold at the market, which provided some insight into the way people live in Ethiopia. We also went to the National Museum to see the famous Lucy, and the St Mary Church Memorial Museum and Palace. For a traditional Ethiopian lunch we went to Addis Ababa Restaurant, which was formerly a residence of Emporer Menelik II's daughter. It was a beautiful building and we had lovely injera with beef stew. After that we went to Tomoa for the best coffee in town. Lastly upon my request, we went to Red Terror Martyrs Memorial Museum and it turned out to be a deeply moving and thought provoking experience. It displays horrifying details about the tragic time in the country during the Derg regime. This place is a must-visit. It is an important lesson for everyone and I think it should be included in the city tour. Mulugeta did a marvelous job with the explanation. Overall I highly recommend Go Further the Addis City Tour if you wish to get a glimpse of life in Addis Ababa.

  • Great intro to Addis

    As an introduction to Addis this is probably one of the best trips . The meet up location was easy to find and my guide did the day was Mulugeta - who is a local to the city and between the sites we visited I got a pretty good idea of what makes this place tick from him. As it was on a Sunday with Merkato closed we went to Shola market first This was followed with a visit to the National Museum where we checked out Lucy - it’s a great museum for anyone keen on archeology and the rich geography of this country. We visited Entoto Hill as well as the church of St Mary on the mountain. Despite the rain - could see views of the city from above Lunch at one of the city’s famous traditional restaurant followed - highly recommended and ended with coffee from Tomaco another Addis institution. Had a really great day and couldn’t fault anything really - thanks to the Go Further team. Highly recommended
