EXCELLENT Based on 22 reviews Juliet47012025-04-05Verified Wonderful weekend city tour of Addis Ababa! I had a weekend stopover in Addis Ababa and was recommended Mulugeta as a guide by a friend. He gave me a whirlwind tour of the sites I wanted to see - the Trinity Cathedral, Entoto Maryam Church, the Ethnography museum at Addis Ababa University, Meskel Square, the Red Terror museum and more. He also helped me find places where my parents worked in Addis in the 1960s! He had a wonderful idea to take me to an Orthodox mass on St. Mary's Day at the Entoto Maryam Church which was a unique and memorable experience. I highly recommend Mulie for a weekend tour of the city and surroundings. JB2025-03-13Verified Best Photography Guide and Fixer I have travelled with Mulie across Ethiopia on three occasions, and each experience has been exceptional. As a photography guide and fixer, he is undoubtedly the best in Ethiopia. His ability to organise comprehensive itineraries at short notice while managing every detail seamlessly is truly commendable. Reliable, professional, and highly knowledgeable, he is someone you can trust completely. Over the years, Mulie has not only been an outstanding guide but has also become a valued friend. Mark H2024-09-14Verified Simply exceptional. Every country should have a resource like this. Seamless execution from planning, to arrival, activity during the trip and departure. When logistical challenges arose, we pivoted and didn't miss a beat. You know you made the right choice when reading the Ethiopian Airlines magazine on your flight and it features Mulu, the owner of Ethiopian Photography Tours and my guide for the trip. You can't do better than local knowledge (and language skills) when planning and executing a trip and when interacting with locals. The trip was like travelling with friends, friends you liked throughout the trip. Even after my return, Mulu checked in with me to ensure my travel home was uneventful. If a resource this knowledgeable, experienced, flexible and friendly was available in every country, my trip planning and travel experience would be a lot smoother and enjoyable. I cannot recommend Mulu enough. Vacation571533867052024-08-30Verified Immersion in real Ethiopia Amazing guide and authentic taste of Addis Ababa!We had a fantastic time exploring Addis Ababa with Mule, who made our visit both enjoyable and enriching at the same time. He was knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city and tailored the experience perfectly to our interests.One of the highlights of our time together was a dinner at a traditional restaurant where we were able to try local dishes such as tibs and injera. The evening was further enhanced by the opportunity to listen to Ethiopian music and watch traditional dancing. It was a vibrant and lively experience that gave us a deeper appreciation of the local culture.Mule's warmth and enthusiasm made us feel at home in Addis Ababa. If you're visiting Addis Ababa or anywhere else and want an authentic experience with a guide who cares, we highly recommend him! Elena N2024-08-30Verified Fantastic guide and unforgettable experience in Lalibela! We were privileged to spend 3 days in Lalibela with the amazing Abebe, who made our visit truly special. His deep knowledge of the ancient churches and the rich history behind them brought the sites to life in a way we will never forget. Every detail he shared made the experience more meaningful and his passion for the history and culture of Lalibela was very engaging.We tried also homemade tej, a traditional honey wine, which was a unique and delightful experience.One of the most special experiences of our trip was visiting a local home where we were warmly welcomed and treated to a traditional coffee ceremony. This intimate experience gave us a glimpse into the daily lives of the locals, and the coffee was absolutely delicious! Abebe helped to facilitate this connection, adding a personal touch to our trip that we greatly enjoyed.Abebe is a very kind and patient person, and he has made our visit to Lalibela an amazing and memorable one!If you're planning a trip to Lalibela, we highly recommend having him as your guide. He truly made our visit unforgettable! Darnell S2024-08-14Verified Lalibela and Addis Mulugeta helped me navigate Ethiopia with expert precision! I went on a two-day tour with Abebe in Lalibela and one-day tour with Mulugeta in Addis Ababa. In Lalibela, I visited several churches, markets, and even hiked a mountain! In Addis, I explored the city visiting premier clubs amd restaurants. I got a taste for authentic Ethiopian cuisine I wish I could have back home in the states. It was a great experience to have local guidance to maximize my short time. I can't wait for my next trip in Ethiopia with Mulugeta! Dai B2024-02-13Verified Addis Ababa and Lalibela I went on a two-day tour with Mulie who showed me around the city of Addis Ababa. He custom-made an itinerary for me according to my interests in commerce and religion. We talked to quite a few merchants in the Merkato with Mulie’s help as I was so furious about the trade with Asia. We also attended a mass together to celebrate the Savior of the World which was absolutely impressive. Mulie helped me find another guide in Lalibela for my next stop. Abebe (+251 91 131 0828) in Lalibela was one of nicest people I met in Ethiopia. He’s a Lalibela local who knows every corner of the city. We went to the Saturday market and Sunday masses. I highly recommend going on the weekend with Abebe. Voyage2037392023-04-17Verified Wonderful tours of Addis Ababa Mulugeta was a superb guide- knowledgeable, helpful and has an excellent photographer’s eye. Due to time constraints we were only able to tour sites in Addis but even in the short time we were able to see a wide range of cultural and historical sites , such as the National Museum, Gulele, as well as the market (amazing) and also a wonderful restaurant where we enjoyed the delicious local cuisine as well as traditional dances from across the country. At all times Mulie was attentive, knowledgeable and showed us the authentic Addis. I would highly recommend these tours and hope to go back soon. Lori7520172023-03-21Verified Explore and capture Addis Mulugeta was a great guide in Addis. I had a day and a half to see the city's main attractions before leaving the city on a tour and as a hobby photographer, I wanted a guide that had a sense of lighting conditions and the most efficient and best order to visit things in. Mulie was awesome, tailored the time to my exact needs and preferences and pointed out good photo ops I might have missed otherwise. I also felt very safe as a solo female traveller. Mulie is also a very good and safe driver in crazy Addis traffic and I felt like he "had my back" at the Merkato where the crowds and choas can feel a little overwhelming! After my time with Mulie, I had a good sense of the food, culture, and even mastered "Ameseghinalehu," - thank you, in Amharic which served me well for the rest of my time in Ethiopia. Thanks Mulie! Clara_como_agua2022-02-24Verified Proper Addis Immersion We had a great photographic tour of Addis with Mulugeta, starting with Mercato in the early morning light. Having Mulugeta with us made it much easier to focus on photography with his guidance around how to approach people for photographs and having him there to translate and take us to the best sections of the market. We also got to Addis’ best coffee with his help, as well as views over the city, trying tej and finding the best places to eat. We also managed to spot a few fair of Ethiopia’s endemic birds. Highly recommended!
EXCELLENT Based on 22 reviews Juliet Johnson2025-04-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mulugeta is both a talented photographer and an excellent guide. I had a wonderful weekend layover in Addis Ababa and he took me to all the major sites. It was great that I could enjoy various spots, like Trinity Cathedral and Entoto Maryam Church, and he took photos on my camera. He was very accommodating of all of my requests and I look forward to using his services again to go to Lalibela on my next trip to Ethiopia.
