A highly recommended tour
This was not only a great opportunity to try authentic Ethiopian and local beers, but also to gain insight into a wide range of topics. This tour was a highlight of my three days in Addis. Yhun was also kind enough to drive me to Shala markets after the tour.
I have no hesitation in recommending either this tour or Liyu Ethiopian Tours.
