Itinerary
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 Ps. please note that National Museum is closed for renovation, and it’s for unlimited time, But our tour will be improvised by taking you to another museum called Addis Ababa Museum
See the Monument of Yekati 12 Martyrs Monument
Also Called a victory Monument
Finally, we will drive uphill to Entoto, which once was Emperor Minilik II’s permanent camp. Driving the hill there is an considerable drop in altitude and the air is filled with the scent of the Eucalyptus trees which covers the area.From the top, there is a panoramic view of the capital and surrounding countryside. After spending some time around the hill, we will drive back to the hotel. End of tour!

Had a great trip exploring Addis with tour guide Teshome. Was a perfect introduction to the city.
Fantastic day full of exciting moments and cultural enlightening. Brook was our tour guide for the day and was brilliant. He made it very special for us
An amazing tour around Addis Ababa. Fit the tour guide was incredible and very knowledgeable about Ethiopia's History. Highly recommended. Thank you so much Fit
I was in Addis for work and only had one free morning to explore the city — I’m so glad I booked a tour with Addis Ethiopia Tours. My guide, Luel, was a pleasure to spend time with: punctual, deeply knowledgeable about Ethiopia’s rich history, and genuinely engaging. Visiting the Archaeological Museum with him made me wish I had more time to see the rest of the country. I would highly recommend Addis Ethiopia Tours to anyone looking to experience Addis Ababa with insight and warmth.

Had a great day with Desale who showed us around the city with enthusiam. We visited numerous sites including a really interesting trip to one of the city's history museums. Desale was happy to take us to any place we wanted to go to, and to spend as much or as little time as we wanted at each venue. It was a great experience and would love to come back one day
