Emmanuel was a fantastic and super educated tour guide, and Samuel was a skilled driver in the busy Addis traffic. We stopped at all the advertised stops, and it was a perfect way to spend several hours learning about Ethiopian and Addis history. The traditional vegetarian lunch was delicious and filling, and of course the coffee stop was perfect. Even though it was chucking down heavy rain at times, we were still able to see all the highlights, and the Mercado was fascinating to drive through. Ask for Emmanuel and Sammy!

Mr. Zerefa was a well informed and well organized guide. We made stops that weren’t on the itinerary just because I was interested, about which he was very gracious. A guide can really shape one’s impression of a whole country, and I have a very good impression of Addis Ababa!

Being in town for a three-day work engagement, we had no time to prepare for any weekend activity. Surprisingly, we could still book our one-day city tour with "My Guzo" on very short notice at 7.30pm the night before we went. Zerefa, our guide, was treating us like family members. He was super organized, caring, and enthusiastic. We felt how much he loves his job as a tour guide. Not less important was the fact, that his driver Tamirat, was a relaxed and safe driver. We were in wonderful hands! Ultimately, we enjoyed the day with "Ze" and Tamirat so much, that we decided to book another tour to explore the countryside. Thanks for a wonderful experience!
