Dan took me on a 1 day walking tour of all the Lalibela churches and he was a fantastic guide. We started early on a Sunday to see all the worshippers at mass, then visited half the churches, had lunch at his house cooked by his lovely wife, then visited the final group of churches. He grew up in Lalibela (his father was a priest at one of the famous churches) so he knows all the history and can even take you through secret cave and tunnel entrances! I highly recommend Dan and he can be contacted on +251 91 105 4296.

Daniel was excellent. We attended Christmas '22 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.

Thanks to Daniel, I had the most incredible travel experience in Lalibela. His knowledge, punctuality, and attentiveness made my journey fun and hassle-free. As a solo female traveler, I was initially intimidated with the thought of navigating Lalibela on my own. Daniel put me at ease from the start. He is an exceptional communicator. From the moment you book, and throughout. As well, his extensive knowledge and network of connections grants you unique access into the local culture. A TRULY authentic experience. Unforgettable.

I recently took a 10 day trip in Ethiopia with Dan and it was an amazing experience. We visited Lalibela including a day of trekking, Bahir Dahr, Gonder and the Simien mountain. Dan took me to some cool local places and had great recommendations for coffee and restaurants. Was also very flexible and willing to tailor every part of the tour to my interests e.g I mentioned I was interested in a traditional coffee ceremony and he had arranged one for me that afternoon. All of the accomodations were very good.Cost was also very reasonable.
Ethiopia is a very safe country but I would recommend travelling with a guide as it makes things logistically easy and you get to have more unique local experiences.
