a great experience in Lalibela - In July 2019, my wife and I spent a week in Lalibela. As a musician and my wife as a cultural scientist, we were particularly interested in getting to know the local people as well as the cultural history. We were lucky enough to meet Fikru as our tour guide. In addition to his extensive knowledge of the churches and religion, he proved to be a very approachable person and helped us to make contacts and get experiences that are hidden from normal tourism. He has a permanent place in our positive memories of Ethiopia, we had a great experience traveling with him and warmly recommend him to anyone who wants to get to know this amazing place. Best wishes Ana Graça and Holger Wittkowski
