I had a gratis time with Antenah on my day tour of Addis Ababa! I'm rally glad I did it, he is a great tour guide, he creates a friendly atmosphere and give a unique and less tourist of Addis Ababa! Climbing up to a roof to look over all the Merkato, cooking traditional handmade injera and traditional coffee cerimony, it was a great day! I really recommend him as a tour guide!

We start our tour with a visit of Saint Bahita Mousoleum Church. An underground Church filled with the history of the Emperor, who founded Addis Ababa, and an original painting of Michelangelo. Afterwards we visit our ancestor Lucy at the National Museum and go to Merkato market, experiencing an amazing top view of the vivid life of the merchants. We take our lunch at Zoma museum, enjoying the amazing garden with its fresh and silence in the middle of the town. Here we also take part in a cooking event of traditional Ethiopian food that we will taste afterwards. This unique experience of flavours and scents is completed by a traditional coffee ceremony.

Thank you very much for your kind feedback, Sara. Yes, it was a amazing day! :-) It was great showing you around Addis Ababa and to bring you to hidden places that you cannot see in the usual tour tracks. I am happy you enjoyed it!

I had a great time with Antenah on my day tour of Addis Ababa, and I'm so glad I did it! It was fun driving around and seeing less touristy places, and he even connected me with someone I met in Ethiopia over 20 years ago! It was super fun!
