I had a great experience with Go Further Tours, planning my first visit to Ethiopia. Xavi and Bre were extremely professional, accommodating, quick with any necessary pivots and always attentive and responsive throughout the entire process. Not only are they great company men but they are also good people, which makes every stage of planning/traveling all the more enjoyable. The organization and diligence were both extremely helpful and reassuring, especially because this was my first visit to Africa. These gentlemen were patient, steadfast and delivered beyond expectations. I truly have "no notes." I enjoyed thoroughly and would highly recommend the tour group to those who are seeking one.

My food tour of Addis was absolutely brilliant. Mulugeta was the perfect host, I learned so much about Ethiopia on this tour, not just the food but also its history and culture. The balance of places we visited was perfect with a place each for meat, fish, coffee and vegetarian. I would never have been able to go to these places as a tourist alone without a guide and so that made the tour really special. Definitely go with an empty belly and be prepared to fill up. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough. Thank you Mulugeta 🙏

We just completed a private day city tour of Addis Ababa with Go Further and highly recommend this for anyone visiting the city. We were taking advantage of a day in the city as part of the Ethiopian Airlines layover programme. This is a great option if you want to break up your travel or just experience something different. We flew from Hong Kong to ADD and then on to Toronto with 17 hours in ADD. After arriving at around 5am we found the Ethiopian Airlines customer service desk near the transfer area and were issued a voucher for the Skylight Hotel. This voucher also acts as a visa so you can go through normal immigration lanes and then find the hotel transfer desk after customs. From there it is a short complementary bus ride to the hotel when they take your voucher and give you room for the day. All of this is included in your airfare with Ethiopian Airlines. As we had the day in Addis Ababa we decided to do a private tour and found Go Further. We met Joseph our driver at a coffee shop near to the hotel and then met up with Birhanu our guide for the day. Prior to this the booking with Go Further had been super easy and they were able to come up with an option that met our needs perfectly. Birhanu had been in touch on WhatApp prior to our visit so we knew we could get in contact should anything happen with our flights or plans. The tour itself was super interesting and gave a good feeling for the city. We started at Shola Market and then did a visit to the national museum. Birhanu was extremely knowledgeable about both and really brought them to life compared an unguided visit. After the museum was a delicious lunch, coffee shop visit and then more city sights including a drive up to one of the highest points in the city. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate for views but the visit was extremely interesting. We were eventually dropped back at the hotel in the afternoon in time for a quick nap and chance to freshen up before our onward journey to Toronto at 11pm. Luggage was checked through all the way from Hong Kong so made the day nice and easy (just remember to pack a change of clothes and toiletries in your carry-on). We plan to do the food tour with Go Further on our way back to HKG and are really looking forward to that. I would highly recommend both the layover with Ethiopian Airlines and of course the tour with Go Further. The private option worked well for us as it gave a bit more flexibility should anything in our inwards travel be delayed (thankfully it was all on time - early even).
