          Recommended: A Great Day Trip from Addis
          A great day and an excuse to get out of Addis on a public holiday. This day trip is a must whether you're a history enthusiast or you simply enjoy sightseeing. Tour guide Haben and driver were welcoming and friendly with lots of information provided along the way. Lunch was a traditional Ethiopian cuisine and a local beer. The tour didn't feel rushed and lots of opportunities for walking around and taking photos. The only detracting issue -- and it's not the fault of the tour guides! -- is that the government doesn't appear to place a priority on maintaining or enhancing these historical sites so that they can be enjoyed and better appreciated by tourists and visitors.

          Use This Service!
          I have used the Guide to Addis service twice and both times were a great life experience. It was a wonderful experience for us. All your arrangements were up to the mark. All guides and transportation arrangements were excellent.

          Would totally recommend Guide to Addis tour
          Our tour was very well organized and our guide, Daniel, was excellent! He was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and provided us with a great first experience visiting the area. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Addis for the first time. We had plenty of time at each stop to see the sights.

          Fantastic.I highly recommend the addis tour
          The guide was very kind. The road to Entoto park was great. I tried the local dishes at the restaurant. It was amazing to walk inside the park, the fresh air and the good weather 🙂

          Customizable to your wishes.
          Delayed for more than an hour, probably as I booked a 9 am tour at 5 am same day. Seems operator did not notice the booking! They did not respond to my messages during this hour. I enjoyed most the views on mountain Entoto. The human history section in the national Ethiopian museum is worth visiting. Addis ababa is very culturally rich, but this operator can cater for this in half a day.

          Great view
          The day trip to Debre Libanos Monastery was so amazing and wonderful, the arrangement was so perfect and the place was so beautiful, the view was so amazing. The guide take me to a lodge which has a great view of the Blue Nile gorge and we have a lunch there enjoying this view.

          Amazing location
          The travel agent with this tour company put together a well planned and wonderful trip. We had many stops with many tours, events, transfers and flights. Everything that the agent put together and reserved for us worked beautifully.

        The Danakil Depression, located in the northern segment of the Afar rift, is a world-class example of active rifting and the birth of a new ocean. The unique, yet only partially interpreted geothermal system of Dallol in northern Danakil is currently receiving renewed attention by researchers and visitors despite its extreme climate since the recent improvements of infrastructure.
