What To Expect
National Museum of Ethiopia
This is a great introduction to the history, culture and people of Ethiopia. It houses different collections like antiquities, crafts, contemporary paintings, archaeological findings from different parts of the nation and exhibit it to the public. This is also where the famous and oldest (3.2M Years old) known human skeleton (fossil) - LUCY - is displayed Please Note: This museum is closed on Mondays, but it will not affect the overall experience as we can improvise and show you another museum like Ethnological Museum, Addis Ababa museum, based on your choice.
Mount Entoto
The highest point around Addis Ababa has the perfect look-out place of Addis. Drive up to the Mountain covered by the eucalyptus, Junipers, 'hygienica Abysinica' and many more other types of trees. It is a peaceful and enjoyable landscape over-looking Addis Ababa. It is quite a drive but worth going.

A day at Addis Abeba

5.00Addis Abeba is an amazing city and I couldn’t have a better tour guide as Desale and Kulen as a great driver. Desale was very knowledgeable and explained me a lot about the history and the culture of Ethiopia. He ensured that I enjoyed every moment and ensured that I didn’t missed all the important sights. He is very professional and was very flexible to adjust the program to my needs. I was astonished on his presentation & explanation at the museum and in all other places we visited

5.00Our family of 5 had a stopover home from Zanzibar. We were picked up at the airport and drove around Addis Ababa for several hours. We were at an authentic Ethiopian restaurant, fix the world's best coffee, Mercato was really an experience, we even greeted Lucy the first man. Between places we got a fantastic review of Ethiopian culture, history etc. Thank you for a great experience. Affordable indeed. Awesome guide in Addis Ababa, book if you are there for longer or just for a stopover.
The best Addis tour guide ever!

5.00If you’re looking for a tour of Addis, look no further. Gashaw was the best guide we could have imagined! He is insanely knowledgeable on everything Ethiopia, from current events to ancient history, and clearly has a passion for sharing that knowledge. He was super open to changing around the itinerary throughout the day based on the things we showed interest in, and could tell when we were getting tired and were ready to call it a day (but he totally would have kept going if we wanted to). He also generously got us lunch which wasn’t supposed to be included in the tour price, and went out of his way to take us extra places that weren’t part of the original plan. He was also totally open to me filming for my travel vlog YouTube channel and would give me a heads up when we were coming up on something that would make good video content so I could get the camera rolling. This experience exceeded every expectation we had, and we’ll be recommending him and Aspire Ethiopia Tours to everyone we know.
Well, but be careful with the guide

3.00Attractions in Addis are interesting. The National Museum deserves more investment, but it's worth it. Visit Orthodox churches, the old palace, a traditional restaurant and a café as well. As it was fiery, we could not visit the Merkatto. The only thing I didn't really like was the guide's behavior. At a certain point, he began to weave indiscrete comments and ask questions about personal topics, including whether I had ever had relationships with black men and whether I knew about women doing sex tourism in Africa. I found it extremely disrespectful and nothing professional.
Ethiopia forever

5.00I spent one of the most wonderful day in my life with Gashaw (the guide), he was completely devoted to his job and his passion to make you understand and discover the Ethiopian culture and lifestyle. I totally recommend Aspire Ethiopia Tours for all your tours in Ethiopia, they are the best and Gashaw make fall in love of Ethiopia and you will want to be back. Do not hesitate, visit Ethiopia with Aspire Ethiopia Tours.

5.00There are a TON of walking Ethiopia tours to choose from. Quite frankly it’s overwhelming. After reading through a ton of them and selecting this one, I feel as if I couldn’t have made a better choice. Gashaw was a fantastic tour guide. Very informative and knowledgeable and takes you to all of the hot spots. More importantly he took his time and I never felt rushed. Often with these tours it’s just rush from place to place, get you in and out and seems robotic. He answered every question (I had many), offered suggestions, advice and provided anything that I needed. I asked him where I could get my beard cut and he even took me to the barber shop! Also asked if I should need anything else after the tour, to not hesitate to reach out. Although there are endless people offering the same tour, please do this one. You won’t regret it. We all need to support exceptional service when we receive it and that’s exactly what this tour and Gashaw is. Look no further! The best city tour in Ethiopia is here!

5.00Our tour guide was wonderful. He picked us up on time at our hotel and took us to the National Museum, Entoto Park, St George’s cathedral, and the Mercato followed by some drive-by’s of other sites. He was very knowledgeable and helped us make the best of a rainy day. Highly recommended tour operation.
Excellent Guide!!
