Book this tour if you want to really learn

What an excellent tour. Becky and his driver Reta were friendly, professional and patient. I was running alittle late after a long flight but they were very helpful and patient as we drove and walked the city. We covered a lot of ground efficiently and visited various museums, shops and restaurants etc and I found a few new food favorites that I need to incorporate. Becky’s knowledge of the culture and significance of Ethiopia on the world was vast and he provided great detail abut the walkable city, the tourism, future projects, etc. you get to see the nicer parts and the nitty markets. He is proud of his culture and it shows. He took his time and I appreciated that. This tour is great for all ages, solo travelers or groups.

BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES

East Africa Tour Operator - Beki is a fantastic tour guide ! His knowledge of everything inside the museum, the history of Ethiopia and friendliness was super. We enjoyed making Injera (Ethiopian flat bread) and he gave us all the experiences we hoped for and more. He was flexible as well to accommodate some changes in the schedule needed. I would recommend using them. We were ladies only and felt safe all the time. Also, if you only have one day, this is a fantastic way to experience Addis Ababa. THANK YOU SO MUCH
