We had an excellent experience during our tour in Addis Ababa, specifically the “Day Trip to Adadi Mariam Rock Church, Rift Valley and Tiya Cemetery.” Our guide, Biruk, was very professional at all times—punctual, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of each place we visited. He answered all our questions and made every stop interesting and engaging.
We would also like to highlight our driver, Bekele, who did a fantastic job. He drove safely and made the whole journey comfortable and smooth.
The organization of the tour was impeccable, allowing us to make the most of the day without any worries. Thanks to their dedication and positive attitude, we had a very enjoyable and fulfilling day.
We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore the surroundings of Addis Ababa in a comfortable, informative, and well-organized way.

Biruk is an excellent tour guide. He is hospitable, courteous, and knowledgeable. His knowledge extends to local tribal cultures and also to the ancient beliefs and practices of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. He also provided us with a authentic experiences such as watching a local villager make bread from a banana tree, which we were then able to taste together. I highly recommend his tour for an authentic cultural experience.
We did a half-day city tour during a long stopover in Addis Ababa and were extremely satisfied with the experience. Biruk organized everything perfectly — the pickup was uncomplicated and on time, which made the whole stopover stress-free from the start.Biruk is very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. The tour was well structured, interesting, and gave us a great first impression of Addis Ababa despite the limited time we had. Everything was smooth, flexible, and well organized, exactly what you want when you’re in transit.Highly recommended for anyone with a stopover who wants to see the city without any hassle. We would definitely book again.
Had a great experience with Muluken and his driver. The car was perfect and clean. Very knowledgeable about the long history of not only Ethiopia, but the surrounding regions and its context over time. Muluken planned our day perfectly, where we say all the important things in our short lay-over time. Highly recommend
The small groups were great.Liaison between the tour operator the hotel and the guides was good.Hotel food was good, different and well presented.All staff encountered were helpful and friendly.Stand out feature for me was definitely the views. Absolutely spectacular.What pulled the experience down from 5 to 4 star was the billed trip to Dorze village. This I found disappointing.But a big thanks to Muluken and his team for arranging this for me. Much appreciated. And the serenity of Arba Minch a very welcome break from the hectic pace of life in Addis.
Absolutely amazing and unforgettable tour of Addis Ababa with Biruk. Seamless airport pick-up, flexible itinerary, really great full day tour of the city that included breakfast in the Merkato, St. George's Cathedral, the National Museum, lunch, coffee and views in Entoto, the Ethnographic Museum and Holy Trinity Cathedral. Ticked off my entire list in one day in comfort, and learned a whole ton about this fascinating and complex country's history and current affairs from a wonderful guide. Highly recommend this tour agency, especially if you're looking for the REAL local experience!!! Thank you for the wonderful time!
The team of tour guides were punctual and made my wife and I feel like family. MEET responded to our requests for the experience in such detail that it demonstrated that they spent time listening attentively during the planning stage.EDISON
We (4 adults) had a wonderful half day touring the city. It was Sunday so some markets weren't open but we were able to tour museums and places of worship. The coffee and lunch in a homestead was wonderful. Our driver was great, very safe with the busy traffic and our guide Biruk was very knowledgeable and willing to share. Meeting at the airport was easy and the van was comfortable.
