A unique experience - Me and a friend had a great experience in Lalibela with Lalibela Backpacker tour. Apart of churches, we could explore the place hiking. And nothing better than do it with who really know the area, a local. Tewabe was an incredible professional who made us feel home, safe. I definitely recommend his services.
