One day trip to Lalibela with a competent guide
I went to Lalibela with 2 friends of mine for a one-day trip in mid-October. I contacted Daniel 2 weeks before our arrival. We discussed in length all details of the trip. He helped us make the perfect plan to make the best of our short stay. I appreciated his prompt responses and well articulated and detailed answers. It was very helpful since we had worries about the overall situation in Lalibela after the war. But we weren’t disappointed at all. He was punctual, he picked us up in the airport and dropped us at the end on time. He arranged our stay in the hotel and our meals. And most importantly he had deep knowledge of the history of his town. He speaks perfect English and we appreciated his energetic and captivating way of storytelling. He added more depth to our visit with his extensive knowledge of the region and all the hidden gems. We also went on a hike to Asheton monastery, which was a challenging trek where you get to enjoy the best landscapes of the beautiful Lalibela nature. We discussed a variety of topics (politics, religion, history…). Daniel answered all of our inquiries. I highly recommend Daniel for all his skills and professionalism. He made our trip worthwhile. I rate him as excellent.

Amazing Lalibela!
We had a great visit in Lalibela with Daniel, visiting stunning ancient churches, enjoying a delicious home-cooked meal and coffee ceremony prepared by his wife, and trying homemade alcohol and injera. We also hiked up to Asheton for breathtaking views, explored the bustling Saturday market, and attended Sunday morning mass. Lalibela left a lasting impression, and we recommend Daniel!

A very good tour of Lalibela
Daniel organized and guided me through my 4 Night & 5 Days tour for Lalibela churches including the accommodation. He is very knowledgeable about the history, the churches (both the architecture and the religion and all the symbolism that goes with it) and the traditions. Daniel never forgot to mention to me all the important aspects and events of the tradition. I had the privilege to share a lunch with Daniel's wonderful family.
Daniel arranged also my 2 Night and 3 days tour of the Denakil Depression including the transportation transfer. He was not my guide during the tour but was so caring that he calls me daily to enquire about the trip.
I strongly recommend Daniel as both an organizer and a guide for any tour in Lalibela and beyond in Ethiopia.

Excellent and very knowledgable guide - 3 day Lalibela tour for the Christmas celebrations
Daniel was excellent. We attended Christmas at Lalibela and Daniel ensured that our experience far exceeded our expectations. Daniel expertly navigated the site which was full of pilgrims for the celebrations ensuring we arrived seamlessly on time for all the best spectacles.
Daniel is very skilful at supporting photographers to help them realise images and find suitable subjects and situations. He's also very knowledgable about the site and its history.
