What To Expect
National Museum of Ethiopia
You will start your city tour of Addis Ababa with the National Museum of Ethiopia. This is one of the best museums in quality and diversity of the exhibits. Archeological exhibits include the 3.5 million-year-old fossil of Lucy (or Dinkinesh – ‘thou art wonderful’- in the native language), a hominoid woman of the specious of Australopithecus Afarensis. The discovery of Lucy’s fossil in 1974 forced a complete rethink of human genealogy, providing that our ancestors were walking 2.5 million years earlier than had been supposed. The National Museum also contains many wonderful artifacts dating back to pre-Axumite civilization. Please note that the National Museum Will be closed on Monday.
Yekatit 12 Martyrs Square

5.00Teshome was an amazing guide! Very kind, knowledgeable and attentive. The driver was amazing as well! As a solo female traveler from Canada I felt very safe with them and learned so much! Would recommend to anyone coming to Addis Ababa!

5.00I had a day to spend in Addis and was able to share it with Teshome. He provided a great overview of the city and major sites! I mentioned I was looking for a football jersey and a scarf and he found a merchant who could offer me a fair price. I enjoyed my trip and would definitely book another tour in the future.

5.00This was an amazing experience and great way to see Addis and learn so much of its history. Teka was an excellent guide, so knowledgeable about Addis but also giving great hints and tips for the city including ordering a traditional lunch which we loved. He was very friendly and spoke excellent English as well. His driver was quiet but very good as well. I can’t recommend this highly enough.
Awesome

5.00My tour guide Teshome was the best tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the the significant sites, Due to uncertainty The National museum was closed, AddisAbaba the oldest restaurant in Addis Ababa. The food and service was amazing and the honey wine (tej). Be prepared for large portions (delicious). Mercator Market ( amazing) the Mausoleum of Menelik II was definitely a place for serinity and peace. The drive to and the surrounding of the Etoto Park the dinamic view of Addis Ababa, how people and animals navigate this surrounding area. I am still in aweeee about my entire tour. The icing on the tour was being in presence of Emprorer Haile Selassie and the Empress Menen Asfaw within the entire Palace especially where they spent most of their time outside of their busy schedule. Teshome is definitely a great tour guide.
Awesome guide ❤️
