    Yonas was assigned to us via get your guide for another trio in Ethiopia. A few days later we messaged him to see if he would take us on a tour of Addis Ababa. What a great guy. We told him the basics of what we wanted to do and then he added the Yonas touch to make it special. Great English, knowledgable, funny and kind, spending time with Yonas as we explored the giant mercato was amazing and always felt safe in his presence. We also went to the piazza to the first Italian coffee house which was a must do! Then on to the Palace. Nothing is too much for Yonas and he is always really very keen to help. A top guide for a top city.

    I ended up in Addis on forced vacation so needed to organize myself quickly to see as much as I could with proper level of information. I found Yonas! Yonas is such a nice person and also a great guide and driver with an excellent level of English I was able to customize the tour the way I wanted based on his suggestions as well. Yonas is extremely knowledgeable about history, culture and diverse regions and sites in Ethiopia. One thing you should know is he is actually also leading group travels (small groups, which is best) outside of Addis Ababa to visit other regions. My day in Addis with him was great and I would rebook him.

    I had the perfect day in Addis Ababa with Yonas! As a woman traveling solo, I wanted a guide to visit the Merkato. I not only got an expert guide but also a friend and traveling companion for the day, and it was a day I will never forget. Among other things, I learned first hand that the Ethiopian people have a wonderful sense of humor, are trustworthy, warm and outgoing, that plastics are being recycled in creative ways, and that potatoes are best served with spices. Thank you, Yonas, for an authentic cultural experience in Addis!!

    We decided to blend two tours into one incredible day, and I’m so glad we did. A big thank you to the Explore Daily Addis Tours team for making it seamless! Our guide and driver, Henok, met us right on time. He was not only welcoming and knowledgeable but also shared fascinating insights, not just about Ethiopian cuisine, but everyday life in Ethiopia as well. The food stops were authentic and full of charm, little hidden gems we’d never have discovered on our own. And trust me, you won’t leave hungry! One of the highlights was exploring a vibrant local Market (Mercato) afterward, where we could wander, shop, and the Mercato Market in the atmosphere at our own pace. Special thanks to our consultant for organizing everything so efficiently and at the last minute. We felt safe, cared for, and completely at ease throughout the day. I truly appreciated how everything on my bucket list was thoughtfully included, especially the traditional Ethiopian breakfast it was delicious and made me feel like a true local. Safe to say, that dish is going to be a must every time I come back to Ethiopia ! 😍 Highly recommend this experience for anyone wanting a genuine taste of Ethiopia with top-tier guidance.

    My wife and I had a 15 hour layover in Addis Ababa, and instead of just vegging in the hotel all day, after some rest we took a fantastic tour with Yonas around the city. We visited a market full of textiles where he helped negotiate the price on a beautifully embroidered table cloth, took a tour of the national museum where we got to meet Lucy, and visited a family run restaurant and feasted on fantastic freshly made local food and wine, and participated in a coffee ceremony. Yonas was a friendly and gracious host, who taught us some Amharic words and local customs. Ameseginalehu, Yonas!

    Yonas was an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledge and shared a lot of the history and culture of Ethiopia. He took us to several local Ethiopian Restaurants where we enjoyed the amazing traditional dishes and live performances. We even visited a family in the village where we had a coffee ceremony. I felt like I experienced a lot within my short 3 days trip in Addis Ababa. Yonas is very flexible and is very passionate about sharing his culture and making sure that you are having a great time. I really enjoyed this tour with Yonas and highly recommend it for anyone trying to decide. Thank you Yonas for an amazing experience.

    Yonas was great from the time he picked me up at my hotel to the time he dropped me off. He considered what I wanted to see and do, how spicy I like my food and what souvenirs I was looking for. He helped negotiate on prices which was worth the value on its own. 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a day out in Addis.

    We had a fabulous time with Yonas during our stay in Addis Ababa! He was prompt with his communication and he ensured our comfort at all stages of the tour. We had an excellent experience trying different Ethiopian foods and drinks! He has a brilliant knowledge of the city and explained everything in great detail. He went above and beyond, helping us organise dinner at a local restaurant. Given his excellent service with this tour, he also showed us around on our second day in Addis Ababa so that we could also explore Entoto monastery and nearby market. We can definitely recommend Yonas and this tour for those looking for a great time in Ethiopia - he really does go above and beyond to look after you!
