Great for people as us visiting the country for work reasons… with a short time to enjoy Addis Ababa. It was so complete! So amazing tour! A complete day visiting key places for nature, history, gastronomy (food, juices, coffee…), art & culture…The guide was very kind, very close and anticipating our needs.I strongly recommend this tour

This tour was really interesting, thanks to my guide. He made me feel like a citizen of Addis for several hours, walking some kilometers. Plus his knowledge about history & habits of the country & the city was quite more interesting than the hike itself. It was a pleasure and I would recommend to everyone who wants to discover the city out of a climatised car.

I'm grateful to have Gashaw as the guide, who is approachable and knowledgeable about the history, politics, and social profile of Addis Ababa. I was welcomed to the walk as a friend, and experienced different local transport methods (walk, mini-van, and ride share) to travel around. Gashaw was flexible with the itinerary and adjusted the plan as I proposed. We each had a detour during the trip, but it's such a learning to walk around various parts of the town.

Mercato Market

Merkato - the biggest open-air market in Africa, is melting point and it best describes the life of Addis Ababa. We believe city tell so many things about the nature of every cities. Merkato, our guides have long time experience and will take deep into the actual/authentic part of the market: the Spice market, false Banana food preparations, the old metal and plastic recycling area, incense market, Coffee and other cereals zone. It is full of activities and definitely the best way of exploring the city.
