I confirm best guide in Ethiopia ! - 4 days visit to Lalibela with Sisay Day 1: Visit of the first group of churches Day 1 and 2 : hike in the mountains, sleep with a farmer family Day 4: Visit of the last group of churches My trip with Sisay was extraordinary ! Lalibela is a wonderful city with a lot of history. I also wanted to walk and discover the nature of the region. Sisay knew how to propose me a program completely adapted to my desires. We walked in the mountains around Lalibela to discover the small villages and the magnificent landscapes. We slept in a farmer's family who was very welcoming and friendly and made me discover the local culture and Ethiopian traditions. It was an experience that I will never forget! Sisay is a guide who promotes sustainable tourism by staying with local people in order to benefit the communities and to discover the real Ethiopian traditions by meeting the locals. I am a woman and I went alone for 4 days with him. He is very professional and reassuring! Moreover he speaks very good English but also French. Ideal for people like me who are not fluent in English. I recommend this guide 100%. No hesitation, call him! =D I take advantage of this message to thank you once again Sisay for this wonderful and unforgettable adventure!

Very knowledgeable and honest guide - I had a great experience with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide Mas (Mastewal). I met him travelling on a minibus to Lalibela and I had the chance to speak with him and his friends about his country, culture and religion. You can contact him by WhatsApp number +251913050039 or Email [email protected].
