Alex the guide was friendly, spoke very good English and had deep knowledge about Ethiopian history. No questions remained unanswered. We talked about my preferences and then the tour route was slightly changed. Alex had different options to choose from and took me to the perfect spots according to my wishes. Addis the driver navigated smootly and was very friendly aswell. I felt perfectly safe during the whole tour. Highly recommended.
The time spent at Mount Entoto, Mercado market, and the Mausoleum were all well spent. Alex was a wonderful guide.
Eyayaw was a highly organised and knowledgeable guide for our Hamlin Fistula Hospital based trip to Ethiopia, also including a cultural tour in the southwest. He is passionate about his country and loves to share that with everyone. A highly recommended company.
Eyayaw was kind, generous, knowledgeable, caring and super professional. He ensured the tour run on schedule was full of fun n flexibility. I highly recommend his service if you want to explore Ethiopia with a local 👍😊
We were recommended Eyayaw Tours Ethiopia by a friend and we were so grateful to have this contact when we arrived into Addis Ababa. We had a full days tour of Addis with Eyayaw and we had an incredible insight and historical tour of the city. Eyayaw's knowledge of Ethiopias' history was remarkable, and we all felt so comfortable in his company. Eyayaw balanced our family's need so well - imparting historical details of the city and country, while ensuring our three young children (aged 10,9&7 yrs) were entertained as well. I highly recommend Eyayaw Tours Ethiopia.
Great tour guide. Very knowledgeable about Addis and Ethiopia. Eyayaw took us to places we'd never have gone by ourselves and was very flexible in responding to our preferences. We'll definitely use him again.
