I visited Lalibela for my son’s wedding - Ermiyas was the best tour guide I have ever experienced. He was knowledgeable, kind and generous with his time. I continue to talk about him and recommend his tour daily.

Great Lalibela Travel Experience - Thanks to Kanu and Joseph, my visit to La Libera was very enjoyable. Joseph was very experienced, knowledgeable, friendly and caring, and helped me solve many problems. While visiting Libera Cathedral, he would tell me the origin and history of each church, as well as the different histories between churches. Not only that, he also knew the best photo location and angle, and I took great photos. After the tour, Joseph also told me where to buy cheap and great coffee, and took me to taste local fruits and Ingra. It was a really great travel experience. you can contact them by these directly, Kanu and Joseph [email protected] +251912636910

Spectacular! - What a wonderful tour! It was an amazing experience, thanks to Wisehun and Ephraim. The site is quite large, and their knowledge of the area and its history was remarkable. The story of some Christian People who tried to recreate a new Jerusalem after the Muslims invasion, is endearing. I am 71yo and I wouldn't have been able to discover this place without the help of Wisehun and Ephraim.

Lailabella day tour of the churches - I was fortunate to have Joseph all to myself before the tourist rush came again. His knowledge, explanations, kindness and generosity are second to none, which I am eternally grateful for. I would recommend him to anyone thinking of doing this tour as a solo traveller or in a group ( he seems the sort who can tend to many people all at once too). He never rushed me, offered and suggested the best places to take photos which is essential for a solo traveller, and we spent a good while inside the churches to take in the different services. Everything was perfect, and I hope we can cross paths again one day.

A journey after which you will love Ethiopia with all your heart - In Lalibelle, we had two wonderful, unforgettable days, all thanks to our guides Kan and Noah. During this time we had time to climb up the mountain and see the indescribably beautiful landscapes, to visit the locals and see their daily life, and of course to see the ancient, preserved to our times in pristine form, churches of Lalibella. Thank you guys so much for these two days, it's because of you that we really fell in love with Ethiopia. Kanu and Noah not only told us about the history of the city and the creation of striking churches, but also about the traditions, culture of the country and its inhabitants. In addition, Kanu recommended a hotel (my God, you know what a wonderful view it is), an establishment where you can eat deliciously and detailed how we can get to Bahr Dar.

Excellent full day tour of Lalibella - I was in Lalibella for 36 hours and saw all of the major churches and one cave church in my time there. My guide Belay was excellent and he keep me busy all day. The town was beautiful and the day was a success. I wish I had one more day to go up the mountain for a little hiking. Definitely worth the trip
