Hello!! My name is Tewodros, though most travelers know me simply as Teddy. Born and raised in Addis Ababa, I have spent my life exploring the history, culture, traditions, and hidden corners of this fascinating city. What began as a childhood curiosity about the stories, people, and heritage around me grew into a lifelong passion and a rewarding career in tourism. For more than a decade, I have had the privilege of introducing visitors from around the world to the authentic Ethiopia—far beyond the guidebooks. As a professional tour guide with a background in tourism, I specialize in creating immersive experiences that connect travelers with the heart and soul of Addis Ababa. Whether we are discovering ancient history, sampling traditional cuisine, exploring vibrant local markets, sharing a coffee ceremony, or uncovering hidden gems known only to locals, my goal is to help you experience Ethiopia through the eyes of someone who truly calls it home. What sets my tours apart is my commitment to personal attention, flexibility, and genuine hospitality. I believe the best travel experiences are not measured by the number of sites visited, but by the meaningful connections, memorable stories, and authentic moments shared along the way. I take pride in understanding each guest's interests and tailoring every experience to create lasting memories. Guests often describe me as knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and passionate about my country. I love answering questions, sharing local insights, and ensuring that every traveler feels comfortable, welcomed, and inspired throughout their journey. When you travel with me, you're not simply hiring a guide—you’re gaining a local friend who is dedicated to making your visit to Ethiopia smooth, enriching, and unforgettable. I look forward to welcoming you to Addis Ababa and sharing the beauty, culture, flavors, and stories that make Ethiopia one of Africa’s most extraordinary destinations.

He pays attention to every detail, every need, and every question. Don't visit Ethiopia without booking a tour with Teddy.

First full day in Addis, and while I was quite jet-lagged, Teddy’s tour kept me completely engaged. Teddy planned each stop in such a way to minimize walking through parking lots, and high-altitude areas, which was appreciated. Each stop was covered in the depth that I was hoping for, and nicely paced. Lunch was very good. Most important, Teddy’s English was...

Tewodros, "Teddy", was a great host for this tour of a great, historical city. My best friend and I were on an extended layover, and this was the perfect tour to make the best of the time. The highlight was the national meal and their excellent coffee!
