Good Tour
All the churches are located within close proximity, typically just a block or less apart, which made moving between them easy. Our guide provided ample resting time between visits, which suited me perfectly as I tend to tire easily.
Since I spent two nights in Lalibela over the weekend, I had the opportunity to attend the early morning service on Sunday. This was an extraordinary experience; I witnessed priests dancing while drumming, and I also had the chance to observe a beautiful wedding ceremony. Seeing the church filled with people was simply amazing.
The monolithic churches themselves are remarkably intriguing. My guide offered insightful explanations, enhancing my understanding of the history .
It's advisable to prepare some small denomination notes to give to the priests overseeing the churches and to those who help watch your shoes while entering.
The monastery, separate from the main churches, was relatively small and somehow disappoingng compared to the grandeur of the other sites. However, the treasures revealed by the priest certainly made the visit worthwhile. Among the most captivating items was an ancient Bible, notable for its intricate illustrations.

The most wonderful, connected and experienced guide I could have ever hoped for in Lalibela.
Zagola Ethiopia Tours was an amazing experience, I could not have imagined a better guide and cultural amabassador to Lalibela.
With such in-depth knowledge of the stunning history and surroundings, it was to say simply, being guided by an expert of the region through a local's eyes.
I personally had the trip of a lifetime, one that I will remember forever, and in great parts thanks to the expert guidance, leading with the infamous Ethiopian hospitality, and cultural sharing and compassion by Zagol Ethiopia Tours.
I highly recommend these professionals and Lalibela locals who have the inside track on whatever it is you are looking for, and because of them I cannot wait to return again to learn more through their unique eyes and layers of knowledge.
Thank you for some of the truly best memories Zagol Ethiopia Tours! See you again soon!
Great knowledge. Highly recommended!
Muluye knows so much about the culture. It was a pleasure. Great guide! Awesome experience!
Personalized, expert local guide
Extraordinary experience with Zagol Ethiopia Tours: I had a very personalized experience and it continued to be customized as we traveled to make sure I got the experience I was interested in (and guiding me toward things I didn't know about or never would have known about). My guide was personal and clearly a local expert. We expanded my tour based on how much exercise/hiking I wanted, and I got to experience things I never would have on my own (not even close). I'm definitely considering a return visit to do more with this guide, and I'd recommend without hesitation. I'm not normally a guide person, but this experience changed my perception (I did a private tour)
