The best of Lalibela
My husband and I spent three days in Lalibela.
Desta and his family were very welcoming and friendly.
He recommended the best restaurants in Lalibela and he was always concerned about our well-being and safety.
In addition, he took us to an incredible tour around the churches.
The room had a beautiful view of the mountains and the breakfast was wonderful. Besides we had the honor of witnessing a true coffee ceremony.
We had an unforgettable experience.
We are gratfull for all talks, explanations and funny moments.
We highly recommend Desta Tours.
They are amazing!!
Perfect experience, could not have been better
I had the most wonderful experience. I stayed at the Hidmo Cozy Guest House, and then was connected with Desta as a guide. I visited during a very quiet time in Ethiopia, so it was just Desta and I. But it was perfect, he tailored the experience to what I wanted to do and see, and the trip could not have been more perfect. He is knowledgable, confident and kind, and the tour and service was amazing, and well worth it.

Two days tour in Lalibela
Desta organized everything and it was a such a great experience. The accommodation was perfect with incredible view from the balcony. As a family business they made me to feel like a member paying attention to a details even outside of the tour program.
Now I proudly can say that I have friends in Lalibela!
Fantastic in every way
We stayed at Desta’s hotel in Lalibela and he took us on a tour of the churches. The accommodation is fantastic, the best place to stay in Lalibela. Wonderful food and service. Desta’s tour of the churches was excellent. He is extremely knowledgeable, with perfect English. Definitely the best way to see Lalibela.

Exceptional, thoughtful, and truly personal experience in Lalibela
I had an excellent experience with Desta Tour in Lalibela in December 2024. Everything was handled in a very professional way, from the preparation phase to the very last moments of my stay.
I am an experienced traveler and photographer and usually plan my trips in detail. I truly appreciated the helpful and knowledgeable input already before the journey, which allowed us to shape a well-balanced itinerary in advance. Special attention was given to creating the best possible conditions for photography, including timing, locations, and light, which made a real difference.
From the moment I arrived, the welcome at the accommodation made me feel like a family member rather than a guest. The New Year celebration with other travelers was especially delightful. I also appreciated the help with the charity clothing I brought and the professional guidance throughout my stay in Lalibela and while exploring the surroundings.
I can highly recommend Desta Tour to anyone looking for a reliable, well-organized, and personal travel experience in Lalibela.
