“Excellent tour. I had a long layover in Addis and was traveling solo. Abe and Abiy were my guide and driver for the day. They were so knowledgeable and made sure I saw the best the city had to offer. Also very convenient that they picked up and dropped off at the airport. Personal highlights were the views from Entoto and grabbing some coffee in a small shop in town. Would definitely recommend to anyone passing through, and am so glad to have spent the day with Abe and Abiy!”
