I had a 17 hour stopover in Addis Ababa and decided to make use of that time to visit Ethiopia's capital. After browsing online, Eshetu's professional and informative website instilled confidence and hence I contacted him. He responded promptly, understood my needs and we quickly came to a mutual understanding/agreement in terms of programme and price.
Upon arrival we easily found each other at the airport premises and I was welcomed with enthusiasm. He swiftly and safely took me to the various "must see" sightseeing spots, where he guided me with practical and informative details. As safety is always a priority, he ensured I was in good hands the entire day and pointed out specific moments where I had to pay attention to my belongings.
Apart from the mandatory stops any visitor should see, Eshetu also understood my particular interest to see how the local citizens lived. He stopped at market places, local shops and let me taste local food in local dining places. This local life, often very colourful and insightful, is what adds value to me on any trip.
His English is good, and he is a very easy going, energetic, good hearted, positive, caring and humorist person.
By coincidence I have another stop coming up with a friend of mine, and I have already booked Eshetu again for another day tour.
I recommend Eshetu as a safe, diverse, insightful and professional tour guide!
Thanks Eshetu! And see...
Read moreRotate Ethiopia Tours, Eshetu, thank you so much for the best crazy travel tour I have had. You managed an incredible custom tour for me that I don't think any standard tour operators would take on. In this time for Ethiopia, the flights and airports are only running like 30% so Eshetu had to get me flights back and forth from Addis to each city that I went to. I did, Axum, Lalibela, Jinka, Gondar and Bahir Dar. An example of what crazy of a headache the flights were, I flew from Addis to Bahir Dar and then having a tour in Gondar which would normally be only 1 hour drive, I had to fly back to Addis and then to Gondar. Eshetu, took care of all the details so that I could make it to all the sites I requested. Also during my trip, there were a couple of scares from FANO and the government but Eshetu made sure that all contacts were made and that it was safe to go. I can not thank him enough! His price was average but his service and attentiveness was above and beyond. I was also blessed to have dinner and drinks with Eshetu at his home. What a blessing he was and is to me. I will definitely be contacting Rotate the next time I visit with family.
Have a blessed day Eshetu! ️Sorry, had to...
Read moreUnforgettable Addis Ababa City Tour with Rotate Ethiopia Tours I had a fantastic full-day tour of Addis Ababa with Rotate Ethiopia Tours and my guide, Eshetu Getachew. As a solo traveler, I immediately felt safe and welcomed. Eshetu was punctual, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about Ethiopia’s history and culture.
The tour was rich and varied — from historic churches and museums to local markets, traditional coffee ceremonies, and even a visit to Eshetu’s home. His passion and hospitality truly stand out.
This isn’t just a tour — it’s a deep and personal introduction to Ethiopia, led by someone who genuinely loves what he does. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the real Addis with heart and insight.
5 stars — the best city tour and guide...
