Better than expected
Our guide was excellent — patient with the children and full of stories we would never have found ourselves. The children loved it, which is the real test.

Private guide in Addis Ababa: the Old Town walk
A private guide who knows Addis Ababa properly — the highest capital in Africa, and the birthplace of coffee. No coach, no rush, and the day bends to what you actually want to see.

About this experience
Your guide is a historian or an architect who has lived in Addis Ababa for years. The day is yours: they will show you what they would show a friend, skip the parts that are only worth a photograph, and find you a table for lunch somewhere locals eat. Because it is private, the pace is whatever suits you, and you can change the plan as the day goes on.

Better than expected
A highlight of the trip. I have already recommended it to two friends who are visiting next month. The children loved it, which is the real test.

Superb
Booked this for our anniversary and it exceeded expectations. Would do it again without hesitation. Went as a group of four and everyone was happy.

Highly recommend
The photos do not do it justice. We spent far longer here than we planned to. Went as a group of four and everyone was happy.
