Addis Ababa city tour
5/5

I took the Addis Ababa city tour which covered the Mercato Market , Entoto Maryam Church and the National Museum. I was the only person in the tour and so they used a car for the trip. The driver and the guide (Mr Lamesgn) were both courteous and professional. The tour will last about three to four hours depending on the traffic. The guide was very conscientious and explained everything in detail. You can get a true insight in to Ethiopia by having conversation with him. The mercato is very chaotic and may not be suitable for small children but will give you insight into Ethiopian psyche. The guide can adjust the mercato tour according to your preference. The Maryam church was very interesting and I got some insights how Ethiopia escaped colonization after visiting this church. The national museum contains the skeletal remains of our ancestor Lucy and it is really a great feeling taking a selfie with her. Addis Ababa is somewhat a chaotic city and I believe a safe and reliable guided tour is recommended especially for a first time visitor. I beleive this tour fulfilled that role

The operator is professional and provides excellent customer care.
5/5

We had an excellent experience. Our tour guide, Kenaw, was knowledgeable, attentive, and ensured the vehicle was clean and well-presented. Ethio Top Land Tours maintained clear communication from booking to completion. My parents from Zimbabwe thoroughly enjoyed the trip and appreciated Ethiopia’s rich culture and history.

Satisfied
4/5

It was a wonderful experience, a private tour with a guide and driver. I was very satisfied with being able to observe wild zebras, oryx, gazelles, ostriches, and birds I had never seen before.
The hotel was mediocre, so I'm giving it 4 stars.

A true Adventure, Highly recommend this tour company.
5/5

Originally, we had booked a 10 day tour, but thanks to the flexibility of the tour company, they arranged for a 14 day adventure that allowed us to see even more of this beautiful country.
Upon arrival at the airport, we were warmly welcomed by Lamesgn, who made sure we felt right at home. He greeted us with a thoughtful gift a hand woven cotton scarf and transferred us to our hotel in comfort. We were impressed by his kindness and knowledge, which set the tone for the rest of our journey.
The city tour with Lamesgn was fantastic! He not only showed us the highlights of Addis Ababa but also shared fascinating insights into Ethiopia's rich culture and history. We felt so fortunate to be guided by such a brilliant and passionate local. In the evening, Lamesgn invited us to a delightful dinner at Abyssinia Restaurant, where we enjoyed traditional Ethiopian food in a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere.
For the next 13 days, Abel and Tilahun guided us through incredible places like Awash, Bale, Simien Mountains, and Omo Valley. We saw amazing wildlife, including rare animals and birds, and learned about the cultures of local tribes in Omo Valley.
The entire tour was well planned, flexible, and filled with incredible experiences. Highly recommend this tour company.

Always smiling
5/5

Because of a plane delay we were forced to stay 1 day in Addis Ababa and decided to get a tour. The tour itself was extremely fun we visited many places a got an overall great feeling of what Addis Ababa is like. our tour guid Lamesgn was always smiling and was so nice to all of us. Even though most of didn’t speak a lot of english he made sure that we understood fully everything he was showing us. Thank you very much. I would really recommend.

Excellent and unforgettable tour
5/5

The tour was excellent. the company provided a very good service and a clear program. Lamesgn treated me like a close friend, not just a client.
I really enjoyed Ethiopian culture, coffee, food, which was a special experience for me. I had a small stomach problem during the Omo valley tour, but the tour guide quickly bought medication for me and helped me until I felt normal again. I really appreciated his care and support.
I wish I had more days to explore all of Ethiopia, but unfortunately I could not because of my work schedule. Based on my experience, I highly recommend this company to anyone who want to explore Ethiopia.
