Fantastic experience!
5/5

Our visit to the churches of Lalibela was unforgettable thanks to Ayalew. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of his hometown. His stories brought each church to life, and he showed us beautiful spots around the area that we would have missed on our own. We highly recommend Ayalew to anyone visiting Lalibela - an excellent guide and a wonderful person!

I met Ayalew long time ago as I’m a frequent traveler to Ethiopia and he has been always a reliable guide and a good professional. I’m amazed by everything he has achieved along this years, despite the harship the northem region of Ethiopia has been trough. I can’t do less than recomend him and his team.

I took a half&half day Lalibela tour with airport pickup / dropoff, and everything went very smoothly. The service was professional from start to finish — communication was clear, timing was perfect, and everything was well organized. I also appreciated their agile problem-solving when small issues came. Ayalew handled everything quickly and efficiently. Overall, it was a great experience, and I can definitely recommend Ayalew to anyone visiting Lalibela.

Unforgettable Journey with Hidden Ethiopia Tour
5/5

UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY WITH HIDDEN ETHIOPIA TOURS
Our journey through Ethiopia with Hidden Ethiopia Tours was truly unforgettable. The company was extremely professional, well organized, and reliable from start to finish, making the entire trip smooth, comfortable, and safe.
We explored Lalibela and its surroundings, Bahir Dar, Gondar, the Tigray rock-hewn churches, Axum, the Danakil Depression, Addis Ababa, and the Omo Valley. The Lalibela rock-hewn churches were absolutely amazing and deeply spiritual.
A special thanks to our guide, Ayalew, who truly made this journey exceptional. He is extremely knowledgeable, caring, patient, and passionate about Ethiopia’s history, culture, and people. Ayalew went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect and that we fully understood and enjoyed each destination.
Highly recommended, especially if you have Ayalew as your guide—he is outstanding

Very propessional
5/5

It was a great experience. Our guide, Ayalew, tried to satisfy all our needs. He answered all the questions that were thrown at him. The cars were good, as were the drivers, making me feel safe. Money, due to the devaluation, creates some problems. You can't change too much at once (it's hard to carry the stack of money) and you need cash.
