5Excellent Tour
Girma was great. He met me at the airport, had all the transportation arranged, took to all the churches, gave all the info about them in understandable way, took to the mass in the morning. Definitely recommend him
5100% go with Girma in Lalibela
I booked a transfer from Lalibela airport to Maribela Hotel and Girma was the one who met me to make sure I got shuttled safely. He mentioned he was an official tour guide and I booked a two day excursion to see the churches. No high pressure sales tactics at all. I was lucky enough to catch the Ashendye festival in Lalibela and Girma customized my itinerary to make sure I saw as much as possible. He made sure I was comfortable in town despite attracting a lot of attention due to not looking like the locals. Helped me exchange money and found me places to eat and shop. Great, knowledgeable guide with amazing English who also invited me to have a meal with his family. I 100% recommend him and will use his services again when I come back.

About Lalibela
Lalibela is a highland town in northern Ethiopia, famous for eleven medieval churches carved down into solid rock and still used for worship.
Lalibela stands at about 2,500 metres in the Lasta mountains of northern Ethiopia. Its eleven churches were cut from the red volcanic rock in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, traditionally under King Lalibela, and UNESCO has listed the site since 1978. The freestanding ones were carved downward from the surface, roof first. The cross-shaped Biete Giyorgis stands alone in a deep pit, and Biete Medhane Alem is among the largest.
