EXCELLENT Based on 221 reviews Posted on Jessica DVerified A great quick tour of the city! Our customized private tour was amazing. We have a very short time period to work with and our guide Henock was very accommodating. He did a wonderful job explaining the history of the country and the culture of the people. His explanations at the National Museum were very detailed and we learned so much. This was time well spent!Posted on youkendooitVerified Quick and Fascinating Tour of Addis Ababa! We had a great time with Henock! He is very energetic and passionate about Ethiopian culture and history. He knows so much so hit him with all your questions! Henock and our fantastic driver (Masfen) were very flexible around our layover schedule and after picking us up from the airport, made sure we got to visit the museum, Mt Entoto, Merkato, and we even finished off the tour with Ethiopian coffee. It was a quick tour but very interesting and informative!Posted on МаксимVerified Аддис Абеба приятно удивила Очень понравился подход Хенока. Подробно рассказал о городе, много показал. В целом остались очень довольны.Posted on Navigate66256772611Verified Culture, tradition and hospitality, a great experience thanks toHenok Fantastic tour with Henok as the guide and Mesfine driving. Henok is a wealth of knowledge and information on history and general culture. From the history museum and market to the Entoto mountain and the delicious show of Ethiopian cuisine and tradition. Thank you very much!Posted on DianaVerified Great layover glimpse into Addis We were in Addis for a day on a layover and decided to do this tour for a view into local life. Henok was very friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. Willing to share everything about Ethiopia and Addis and answered all our questions. We enjoyed the glimpses into local life and food/coffee.Posted on AliVerified Great if you have a few hours! Great time spent out of the airport! If you have a few hours, this is a great option to go around the city, try some amazing food, and cap it off with the best coffee! Our guide was helpful and moved at a great pace.Posted on Kateryna DVerified Excellent one-day overview of Addis Ababa My husband and I had a fantastic time on this Addis Ababa layover tour with GishAbay Ethiopia Tours! Our guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive from the moment he picked us. Highly recommend.Posted on Esther KVerified Glad we went to Ethiopia! Before we arrived in Ethiopia we were anxious about many things: necessary vaccination, hygienic conditions, safety… etc. But our 9-day 3-persons private Ethiopian tour turned out to be so amazing trip that all these anxieties were well worth it. Ethiopia is exotic & super rich in history & culture. People are friendly and meeting them in markets, during the festival, at coffee ceremonies… has made our trip so memorable. Yenew at GishAbay planned everything for us & designed a great itinerary including visit to Gondar for the Timkat Festival that we enjoyed thoroughly. We knew we were in good hands. Abenezer, our guide, gave us good suggestions on the way including restaurants, delicious local dishes, where to buy gourmet coffee, & places to visit including a pre-visit to the festival venue before the crowds. All in all, we’re so grateful that we had the chance to visit Ethiopia, and with GishAbay.Posted on Anthony MVerified Day trip around Addis We had an excellent day trip with our guide and driver. The day started with a walk through the market, it gave us a real feel for the place. The visit to the Museum was very informative and the highlight of the day was lunch is an authentic restaurant finishing the day with coffee at La Gare. We would highly recommend this tour for anymore wishing to see the real Addis Ababa.Posted on Happiness44431644596Verified Solo Trip in Ethiopia 12 months ago I contacted Yenew from Gishabay Tours. I wanted a private solo tour for 35 days covering the tribes in the South, the Danakil Depression, Churches of Lalibela, Tigre and Askum as well as the Simien Mountains. Yenew was amazing – adding extras as I discovered more about Ethiopia and ensuring that everything was covered. I set off last November and unfortunately came back 10 days before Xmas. The guides and drivers employed by him treated my like a VIP – assisting with an injured knee, making sure I achieved everything. Not to mention running through the bush to photograph the wildlife for me. It’s the first of my many travels over the years, where I was not ready to come home. And two weeks later still wish I was there. Everything was so easy – and fortunately there’s a plethora of great coffee – wild varietals the best – in particular the Gesha. The guides will help you secure that to souvenir home. I have travelled solo since 2009 and Gishabay Tours by far exceeded my experience with any other tour company in any of the other countries I’ve travelled in. I cannot recommend them enough – thinking about going? - give Yenew a call and start the journey
