Reisroute
Holy Trinity Cathedral, ook bekend in het Amhaars als Kidist Selassie, is de hoogste Ethiopisch-orthodoxe Tewahedo-kathedraal in Addis Abeba, Ethiopië. Het werd gebouwd in 1942 ter herdenking van de Ethiopische overwinning op de Italiaanse bezetting en is een belangrijke plaats van aanbidding in Ethiopië. De graven van keizer Haile Selassie en keizerin Menen Asfaw, evenals andere leden van de keizerlijke familie, zijn te vinden in de kathedraal.
Gelegen in Piazza gebied, Tomoca is de oudste coffeeshop in Ethiopië (sinds 1953). Ethiopische traditionele koffieceremonie is een van de meest iconische en gekoesterde culturele rituelen in Ethiopië.
Mercato is de grootste openluchtmarkt in Afrika, met een oppervlakte van enkele vierkante mijl en biedt werk aan naar schatting 13.000 mensen in 7.100 zakelijke entiteiten verdeeld over georganiseerde zones (landbouwproducten, wierook, koffie, specerijen, sieraden, recycling, manden, aardewerk, lederwaren, metalen goederen)
Lunch in het oudste hotel van Addis. Het Taitu Hotel werd in 1905 (1898 in de Ethiopische kalender) midden in de stad (Piazza) gebouwd door Taitu Betul (1851-1918), de Ethiopische keizerin en de echtgenote van keizer Menelik II, om buitenlandse gasten een plek te geven te rusten en te dineren. Alternatieve plaatsen voor de lunch zijn mogelijk. Lunch is niet inbegrepen in de Tourprijs.
Het museum is verdeeld in drie secties. In de kelder bevat de paleontologische tentoonstelling veel kostbare lokale archeologische vondsten, zoals de gefossiliseerde overblijfselen van vroege mensachtigen, waarvan de beroemdste "Lucy" is. De collectie wordt gerekend tot de belangrijkste sub-Sahara afrika. Op de begane grond worden artefacten uit de aksumiet-, pre-aksumiet-, solomonische en gonderische periode tentoongesteld. Op de eerste verdieping is er een levendige tentoonstelling van Ethiopische kunst, variërend van perkament uit de vroege 14e eeuw tot olieverfschilderijen op canvas uit de 20e eeuw.
Het Etnologisch Museum is een openbare instelling gewijd aan etnologie en cultuur. Het Etnologisch Museum is gevestigd in het voormalige paleis van Haile Selassie en wordt omgeven door de prachtige tuinen en fonteinen van de hoofdcampus van de universiteit. Het herbergt antropologische, musicologische en culturele objecten.
Het natuurpark Entoto ligt op 3400 meter hoogte en was de plek waar het permanente kamp en paleis van de voormalige keizer Minilik II was gevestigd. Vanaf de top is er een panoramisch uitzicht over de hoofdstad en het omliggende platteland. De berg is dicht begroeid met eucalyptusbomen die tijdens de regering van Menelik II uit Australië werden geïmporteerd en meestal tijdens de regering van keizer Haile Selassie werden geplant. Zo wordt het soms aangeduid als de "long van Addis Abeba".
Shiro Meda Market (ook wel gespeld als "Chiromeda") verkoopt Ethiopisch textiel in al hun vormen, van Ethiopische trouwjurken tot verschillende soorten kleding, beddengoed en stoffen.

Addis is rich in history and culture. It's right there in the open but without an experienced, seasoned and knowledgeable guide, it will be difficult to unearth this rich culture. I travelled with my wife for our honeymoon break, and they treated us like we are a whole group tour. Alex made is easy for us to learn more about the history and culture of Addis and Ethiopia, while making it fun. The itinerary was well thought out, he provided pickup from our hotel, paid for all the admission fees and talked us though the history of the city and country for 7 hrs. The lunch break at the Ethiopia cultural restaurant was a lesson in itself where we enjoyed the Ethiopian coffee ceremony. For groups big and small I would highly recommend Addis Authentic Tours for the private city tour. Great experience and great value for money.

Alex and the driver did their best to provide a great experience. Currently there are not too many tourists in Addis Abeba and I was perhaps a bit hesitant myself due to some travel warnings. Situation on the ground was totally calm. Thank you guys for an interesting and intense day.

A fantastic, comprehensive, and educational full day tour of Addis!! Alex as a guide was so great - shared so much history (social, political, religious, cultural), was very communicative and organized, and was very invested in getting the absolute most out of the day. I liked that he provided options at many points so I could have some say over what we did and where we went. I like to really try to see it all & to get the most out of a tour and Alex was very accommodating of that. The driver Addis was also fantastic - very safe and kind. Our schedule was: - Entoto St Maryam Church / Minilk II Museum / Old Palace - Merkato - lunch at Addis Ababa Nyaderasa Restaurant - Ensira Pottery - Ethnological Museum on Addis Ababa University campus - National Museum of Ethiopia It was an awesome & jam packed day. I highly recommend choosing the lunch restaurant we went to because it's a beautiful old traditional home with delicious local food and a traditional coffee ceremony. You pay for lunch, but everything else is covered, including water and coffee. Ensira Pottery was amazing to witness the level of handmade production by so many women & very fun to buy little handmade clay guinea fowl figurines as souvenirs. Seeing Lucy and all the other just as old or older skeletons is a must! Merkato is really something to witness. I really enjoyed how Alex took my up on a balcony so we could spend time just taking it all in from above. He was also great about helping me try spices and assisting in purchasing some!

We believe that every traveler should have the opportunity to shape their experience, and we’re happy that the different options throughout the day allowed you to make the most of your time in Addis. We’re also very happy that you enjoyed the traditional restaurant, local cuisine, and Ethiopian coffee ceremony. Your appreciation of the women’s craftsmanship at Ensira Pottery and your experience exploring the spices and markets of Merkato mean a lot to us. Thank you again for recommending Addis Authentic Tours and for allowing us to be part of your Addis Ababa adventure. We hope to welcome you back to Ethiopia someday for another unforgettable experience! With sincere appreciation, Addis Authentic Tours Team

Great experience—both the guide and the driver were fantastic. The guide Desale was easy to communicate and coordinate with over WhatsApp and on time for pickup.
