The best guide in Ethiopia, Youssef took me off the beaten track and gave me several experiences, I learned to roll traditional bread at the market, then I learned to make hay fiber brooms, we went to a factory of cereals, then in the basement of a church to discover a hidden work by Leonardo da Vinci. I am a demanding world traveler, and not a tourist, I wanted to experience local things, Youssef was excellent in taking me to different atmospheres with lots of stories… I highly recommend him.
Great Tailored Tour

Yousef was very knowledgable and hospitable. We got to see the entire city in a day, and he was able to give us great recommendations for good food and coffee (of course!) spots. We were grateful to have him as our guide.

I really enjoyed the Tour of Addis Ababa. Simien Image Tour and Travel provided an unforgettable experience during my trip to Addis Ababa. The tour guide, Muller, was very knowledgeable and helpful, and he provided detailed information about important events in Ethiopian history and culture. I particularly liked visiting local cafes, restaurants, and other eateries. The day was filled with activities from morning until late afternoon, and I had many opportunities to make great, lifelong memories. I highly recommend Muller (WhatsApp number +251 91 445 7188) as a guide for tours of Addis Ababa. I look forward to my next trip to Addis Ababa.
