I spent two amazing days touring with Alex and his company, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. On the first day, we explored Addis Ababa like locals. Alex showed me all the places I wanted to see and answered every question I had with incredible knowledge and patience. The experience went far beyond my expectations. His professionalism, passion, and genuine love for his country completely changed my perception of Ethiopia and its people. On the second day, we explored the surroundings of the city and learned about Ethiopian culture and the country's diverse tribes. We visited museums, met many local people, and thanks to Alex's connections, we had authentic experiences that would have been impossible to find on our own. What impressed me the most was his ability to adapt the itinerary to my interests and make every moment meaningful. Alex is not just a guide; he is someone who truly cares about giving visitors the best possible experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Ethiopia or Addis Ababa. I will definitely tour with him again and will personally recommend him to my family and friends. Thank you, Alex, for an unforgettable experience!

I took this tour today and I have to say it was truly wonderful, allowing me to experience nature and enchanting landscapes. I was a little hesitant about taking the tour, as I was alone in Addis Ababa for work. However, Alex and Atsede took great care of me and made my experience safe, pleasant, and authentic. Ameseghenallo!

The crater lakes were beautiful and the birds were stunning but what made this day extra special was the wonderful company of Alex and Atsede. Learning about the history and culture of Ethiopia was worth the money itself. Truly memorable!
Dear Clients, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the beauty of the crater lakes and the incredible birdlife. Alex and Atsede will be delighted to hear that their guidance and stories about Ethiopia’s history and culture made the day extra special. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we’re so glad the experience was memorable. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Ethiopia soon! Warm regards, Addis Authentic Tours
Visiting for work, I wanted an easy Sunday trip that left me some downtime. It was nice as a solo woman to sit up front with female driver Atsede and her great playlist, while guide Alex pointed out everything of interest as we left the city and headed out through the countryside for about 50 minutes. We stopped at several lakes to spot flamingos, giant marabou storks, egrets, ibis and kingfishers, armed with Alex's binoculars and bird book. For lunch, we visited a charming garden cafe for delicious (and inexpensive US$5) fried fish, great coffee and conversation. Beware the hot sauce and be ready for a shot of areki - letenachin (cheers)! Recommended if you're looking for a change of pace after a hectic city tour, with security and good company. Would also suit visitors who find an Addis tour a mobility challenge, and keen birders/photographers.
Dear Alexandra, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. We are truly delighted to hear that your Sunday escape to Bishoftu provided the calm, fresh air, and enjoyable company you were looking for after a busy work schedule in Addis. It means a lot to us that you felt comfortable and at ease as a solo traveler. Thank you also for highlighting the relaxed pace, accessibility, and sense of security, which are very important values for us at Addis Authentic Tours. Your recommendation truly encourages us, and we would be honored to welcome you again on another journey in Ethiopia. Warm regards ADDIS AUTHENTIC TOUR
A real moment of relaxation... The lakes are beautiful. It was very good to get out of the noise of Addis Ababa. I was able to recharge my batteries in contact with nature. I had a private tour, so Mulugeta was flexible and forceful to adapt my circuit to my desires. Nothing to say: I arrived in Addis Ababa alone and I leave with a new friend, Mulugeta, and many beautiful memories in mind.
Dear Karen, Thank you so much for your beautiful review. I am very happy to hear that your day by the lakes brought you peace, relaxation, and a refreshing escape from the busy atmosphere of Addis Ababa. Nature in this region is truly special, and i am happy you were able to fully enjoy it. I am very touched by your words. Yes, you were not only my guest during your stay, we became close friends Thank you for choosing us and for sharing this beautiful moment. We would be honored to welcome you again anytime. Mulugeta

This tour will make you fall in love with the beauty of Ethiopia. We drank local tequila had local food we met indigenous people we saw the beauty of the lakes this tour is well worth the money. I look forward to coming back and doing more tours with this Company thank you Alex your Jamaican friend living in Canada
I made a last-minute reservation for a family trip, but they treated me so kindly and I was able to contact them via WhatsApp so I didn't have to worry. Guide Alex was a very sensible and devoted guide to his work! I was really grateful that they adjusted the tour time and content to fit my tight schedule and arrived at my accommodation accordingly :) If you're visiting Addis Ababa, I recommend taking a tour at least once!
