Overview

In the so-called “holiest town in Ethiopia”, see the 12th century stone churches of Lalibela and learn about their construction and the people who built them. Built into the volcanic landscape, each church is connected to each other and to a network of caves and tombs by deep passages in the rocky ground. Listen as your guide explains the importance of this site, and discover a hidden gem from antiquity.

Lailabella day tour of the churches

Robert_M, Oct 2022

I was really lucky to have Joseph all to myself before the tourist rush comes again . His knowledge, explanations, kindness and generosity is second to none which I am eternally grateful for. I would recommend him to anyone thinking of doing this tour as a solo traveller or in a group ( he seems the sort who can tend to many people all at once too) . He never rushed me, offered and suggested the best places to take photos which is important for a solo traveller and we spent a good while inside the churches too taking in the different services. Everything was perfect and I hope we can cross paths again one day
