A must do while in Addis Ababa! Highly recommended!

Guided tour with Fitsum was one of the most fun experiences on our Africa vacation and it was also the first food tour that we did in our life! The tour lasted 4 hours and it's absolutely incredible as to how many different places we have been and things we have tried! The tour is also perfectly planned geographically, so the flow was great, and we got to see different sides of Addis Ababa and it was never walking back to anything, always something new. Besides the food he has also taught us A ...read more

Outstanding Food Tour and Guide in Addis Ababa

This was one of the highlights of my time in Addis Ababa. My guide Fitsum was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about sharing Ethiopian food and culture. The tour was much more than just eating—it provided insight into local traditions, daily life, and the people. We visited several different locations and had the opportunity to try a wide variety of authentic Ethiopian foods that I never would have discovered on my own. My guide was patient with questions, tailored the experie...read more

Trying fermented food!

Really loved this tour. The route itself was great and took us through some really interesting neighbourhoods that I probably would never have seen on my own. The meat options were also really interesting to try, but I appreciated that there was never any pressure if something felt a bit outside your comfort zone and a cooked version was also available. Trying to make injera was such a fun part of the experience too and much harder than it looked!!

Great experience and food

Loved this tour with Fitsum. It was really relaxed and flexible, and I got to try so many different things. The food just kept coming and coming, but everything was delicious and really interesting. I also loved hearing the stories behind the dishes. It made the whole experience feel more local and gave me a much better understanding of Ethiopian food. Would definitely recommend.

Great experience but we both fell sick :(

Good: Booking the tour was very easy, and our guide was great. Fitsum was a great guide and very passionate about sharing his knowledge with us. We learned about the coffee bean, different regions, and which coffee beans they grow, etc. As we continued our tour, we went into the neighborhoods in Addis where locals hang out and eat. We tried many different dishes, and it was a pleasure to share them with our guide. Bad: The unfortunate part is that my friend and I both fell sick by the end of ...read more
