Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: National Museum of Ethiopia, King George VI Street, Addis Ababa Ethiopia
You will start your city tour of Addis Ababa with the National Museum of Ethiopia. This is one of the best museums in quality and diversity of the exhibits. Archeological exhibits include the 3.5 million-year-old fossil of Lucy (or Dinkinesh – ‘thou art wonderful’- in the native language), a hominoid woman of the specious of Australopithecus Afarensis. The discovery of Lucy’s fossil in 1974 forced a complete rethink of human genealogy, providing that our ancestors were walking 2.5 million years earlier than had been supposed. The National Museum also contains many wonderful artifacts dating back to pre-Axumite civilization.

I was in Addis on a short (12 hours) layover and wanted to go out and explore the city. Sisay was an absolutely incredible guide! Genuinely fun dude to be around and very knowledgeable about everything Addis. I highly recommend you ask specifically for him to be your guide. If you are also there on a layover this tour will help you hit all the major landmark in couple hours.
My tour guide Adisu was excellent! He was on time and very informative and knowledgeable of Ethiopian history and the city of Addis. I highly recommended him and the city tour!
