Traveling back to the US from India with some friends, we had a layover of about eight hours and went on this approximately five-hour tour. Sisay and the driver met us in the airport parking lot and that went very smoothly. We visited the Merkato, the Bata LeMariam church, a juice place, and the Yod Abyssinia restuarant. Sisay was extremely informative and great to talk to about just about any topic. The Merkato and the church were fascinating places. The juice bar had great vibes. We all had a ball. Probably the best tour I've been on in my life.

Addis is somewhere I had always wanted to visit. The opportunity came where I had an afternoon/evening layover at bole and wanted to make the most of it. Sisay and Adefa tours really came through and showed us the Mercato (very unique market) among other things. It was really a dream come true for me and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to see Addis Ababa.

Sisay was extraordinary both as a guide and as a company. Made our visit to Adis truly memorable. His depth of historical knowledge was impressive. And such a gentleman.
