Definitely recommended!
When I realized I would have the opportunity to spend a day in Addis Ababa, I looked for a guided tour that included some cultural activities and, above all, food experiences. This tour was an excellent choice because it gave me the opportunity to try a traditional breakfast, enjoy the famous Ethiopian coffee, and have a delicious home-cooked meal with a local family after walking through the Merkato. I was lucky to be accompanied by the guides Dagi and Niko, and it was a very fun day! Communication in English was easy and friendly. I felt safe throughout the entire tour. I definitely recommend this tour.

Delicious Ethiopian food
I learnt to cook an ethiopian dish called Shiro and Injera. I also learnt to roast my own coffee. It was an incredible experience and I'd definitely do this again, the guides Shasha and Nico made my trip extra special! Thanks so much guys, I'll definitely come to Ethiopia again for more travels

Perfect Way to Start My Trip in Ethiopia!
I joined this tour straight from the airport on the day I arrived. It was my first time in Ethiopia, and I’m so glad I booked this for my first day. We visited museums, saw monuments all around the city, and I learned a lot about the country’s history. The tour was packed with great experiences—checking out the massive Merkato, enjoying local coffee, and even getting to try a home cooking experience. My guide Joseph was super kind and flexible, always adjusting the tour based on what I was interested in. I also got to try local liqueur, which was a fun surprise! It was a fun, safe, and really fulfilling experience. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with Aman Ethiopia Tours & Travel! It’s incredible to hear you are happy with our service & our arrangements clearly made it a memorable experiences! We look forward to hosting you again

Layover tour with Joseph
Spent a long layover day with Joseph our knowledge tour guide and Bart our driver in Addis Ababa. Great tour in terms of locations covered, transportation , detailed information provided. The coffee stop and market were the highlights for me. Would definitely recommend this tour (Ask for Joseph) if you find yourself on a layover in Addis Ababa.

Addis Ababa City Tours With Cooking Class of Ethiopian Food: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Addis Ababa.
How much does Addis Ababa City Tours With Cooking Class of Ethiopian Food cost?
+
Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Addis Ababa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Addis Ababa City Tours With Cooking Class of Ethiopian Food take?
+
Plan for about 34 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Addis Ababa is not rushed.
Is Addis Ababa City Tours With Cooking Class of Ethiopian Food worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Addis Ababa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Addis Ababa City Tours With Cooking Class of Ethiopian Food?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Addis Ababa City Tours With Cooking Class of Ethiopian Food suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 34-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Addis Ababa City Tours With Cooking Class of Ethiopian Food?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Addis Ababa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Addis Ababa and add a light layer if any part of the 34-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Addis Ababa City Tours With Cooking Class of Ethiopian Food start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Addis Ababa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Addis Ababa?
+
On Outty we rank every Addis Ababa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Addis Ababa Authentic Private City Tour, Addis Ababa Guided City Tour With Airport & Hotel Pick Up, Full Day Tour of Addis Ababa with Hotel Pickup and Drop-off. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Addis Ababa?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Addis Ababa?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+

Not included: Gratitude and Personal Expenses; and Dinner and any Alcoholic drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

What languages is Addis Ababa City Tours With Cooking Class of Ethiopian Food offered in?
+
