Perfect Tour for my Connection

5.00Perfect half-day trip for my connection in Addis Ababa. It really gave me a grasp of the city and it's fascinating history and vibrant modern life. Daniel is a great guide; he was evidently very knowledgeable about the city he loves, and was very funny and friendly. Would recommend to anyone who finds themselves in Addis Ababa.
Dan's the man!

5.00I had a fantastic tour with Dan, he's a proper local lad, honest and knows everything about the city. At the same time, he is relaxed and doesn't rush you around or try to fill voids with talking too much. He's a good laugh too, takes a genuine interest in our lives and to be honest he was a real asset when we went to the markets, he got me a real bargain on some swimming shorts by bartering the seller down from $50 to $2, although that might have been due to our shared premier league football interests! He's a brilliant guide, I wish him all the best, he has a true love for his city and I'll always have a good memory of Addis Ababa and all the local people we met along the way. All the best, Adam
Wonderful 1/2 day...

5.00Danial did a great job giving us a tour of Addis during our short layover. He was very available before the trip and made sure everything during the tour went smoothly and got us back to the airport on time. Highly recommended.

5.00The tour had everything I wanted and Daníel is very knowledgeable about the history of the city. I wanted to tailor make my tour, some things I was not interested in and that was no problem. I can recommend!

5.00Great experience! Very flexible to meet my travel needs. Booked last minute and only had a short time to explore and still was able to see a great deal of Addis. Would highly recommend!
Good experience with a good host!

5.00Daniel was a good host. He stayed flexible during the trip, picked me up earlier than planned, and did his best with showing me the famous spots on a rainy afternoon!
You'll have a great time!

5.00Daniel was fantastic! He reached out quickly after we booked our tour to confirm details and plan our meet up. He arrived early with a car and driver. We discussed our preferences for the day and he was very responsive to our interests. Daniel was friendly and flexible. We had a fabulous time exploring Addis with him. He is very knowledgeable about Ethiopian history (has a BA in history), is easy to understand and open to lots of questions. He clearly loves his country. Daniel took us to an Orthodox Church, the Ethnological Museum and the market. While we had been told by many others that the market wasn’t safe, it was wonderful! He guided us around the maze of stall and shops and helped us explore incense and spices, scarves, etc. We highly recommend Daniel—you’ll learn much about ET and have an amazing time!
