“Forget the museums and churches, this fantastic tour gave a great insight into the vibrant streetlife and food and drink culture of Addis. The guide ZEREFE and driver TAMIRSAT were both first class. They really took care of me and ensured my safety at all times, even in the most chaotic and crowded parts of Merkato. The markets were fascinating indeed. Something very difficult to experience alone without a guide. I also loved the coffee shop and the family business making injera, although my own attempt was hilariously bad. Lunch was at the historical and fascinating Taitu Hotel and we finished the tour with a coffee ceremony and flask of…”

“I had a wonderful day with Aelaf (Ale) in Addis Ababa. He had already messaged me the night prior to the tour for coordination. He came early to pick me up and waited until I was ready. He asked how I wanted to modify my itinerary to fit my needs. He was a very safe driver and explained many aspects of city life, culture, religion, etc. while we were in the car together. The tour of the Hadero Coffee building was fantastic, with information from cultivation, processing, quality control, and of course the cupping and tasting session. We had a long drive up to Entoto Hill for the injera making…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 3 reviews · 5 hours · from $56

Review of Addis Ababa’s five-hour food tour with airport pickup, Ethiopian dishes, coffee ceremony, Lucy fossils, transport, and practical tips.

“They sent a driver to take me to a restaurant, then we went to a market. I felt bad for the guy because he was not a guide and doesn't speak very good English. This is was the worst "food tour" I went on and it was not worth 60USD. Also the car wasn't air-conditioned, so I ended inhaling all the dust and fumes from around Addis. I gave it 2 stars for the sake of the nice young man who picked me up.”
