Thanks to Dan for an amazing trip to Lalibela to see the ancient rock hewn churches. It was the highlight of our trip to Africa and can highly recommend Dan to anyone thinking about visiting this amazing site. Despite recent concerns in the area, we felt 100% safe. So glad we made the trek.

I had a great time in Lalibela with Dan; he showed me around, explained all the details of Lalibela churches and surroundings. It was a Good Friday and Easter Saturday so he also took me for an Easter breakfast and treated like a very special guest. I felt really safe during the journey and he took care of me. Amazing trip - I recommend it!

We had a great visit in Lalibela with Daniel, visiting stunning ancient churches, enjoying a delicious home-cooked meal and coffee ceremony prepared by his wife, and trying homemade alcohol and injera. We also hiked up to Asheton for breathtaking views, explored the bustling Saturday market, and attended Sunday morning mass. Lalibela left a lasting impression, and we recommend Daniel!

Daniel organized and guided me through my 4 Night & 5 Days tour for Lalibela churches including the accommodation. He is very knowledgeable about the history, the churches (both the architecture and the religion and all the symbolism that goes with it) and the traditions. I was lucky to be in Lalibela during the Christmas pilgrimage. Daniel never forgot to mention to me all the important aspects and events of the tradition. I had the privilege to share my Christmas lunch with Daniel's wonderful family.
Daniel arranged also my 2 Night and 3 days tour of the Denakil Depression including the transportation transfer. He was not my guide during the tour but was so caring that he calls me daily to enquire about the trip.
I strongly recommend Daniel as both an organizer and a guide for any tour in Lalibela and beyond in Ethiopia.

Dan took me on a 1 day walking tour of all the Lalibela churches and he was a fantastic guide. We started early on a Sunday to see all the worshippers at mass, then visited half the churches, had lunch at his house cooked by his lovely wife, then visited the final group of churches. He grew up in Lalibela (his father was a priest at one of the famous churches) so he knows all the history and can even take you through secret cave and tunnel entrances! I highly recommend Dan and he can be contacted on +251 91 105 4296.
