Great Coffee Tour
We had a terrific coffee tour going to a few coffee shops and coffee processing companies. Sisay was a great guide, not only explaining the significance of Ethiopian coffee, but also many details about Ethiopian culture and history.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review and thoughtful recommendations. We truly appreciate your feedback and are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our coffee cupping tour, as well as your time with the driver and our guide. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again on another adventure in the future. Kind regards, Beki East Africa Tour Operator

Culture Rich Ethiopia
One of the best guide I met in my travel. As a tour operator myself, I could see more passion and commitment in Mr. Beki our guide. I would call him as a cultural ambassador rather a tour guide

We truly appreciate your feedback and are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the city tour, as well as your time with our driver and guide. It was our pleasure to host you, and we look forward to welcoming you again on another memorable adventure in the future. Warm regards, East Africa Tour Operator

Coffee Cupping Tour in Addis Ababa: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Addis Ababa.
How much does Coffee Cupping Tour in Addis Ababa cost?
+
Prices start at $200 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 Coffee Cupping Tour in Addis Ababa take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Coffee Cupping Tour in Addis Ababa worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Coffee Cupping Tour in Addis Ababa?
+
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 Coffee Cupping Tour in Addis Ababa suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Coffee Cupping Tour in Addis Ababa?
+
Around 2 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Coffee Cupping Tour in Addis Ababa 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.
What is included in Coffee Cupping Tour in Addis Ababa?
+
Included: Entry/Admission-of the coffee factories; Bottled water; Lunch; All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: If our clients are interested to buy packages roasted or beans of coffee they’ll pay thems. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Coffee Cupping Tour in Addis Ababa include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 17 listed pickup locations in and around Addis Ababa. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Coffee Cupping Tour in Addis Ababa offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Chinese, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
