Flexible and easy to organize
We booked a 2-day trip to Lalibela with Daniel and had a very good experience overall.
We were a group of 7 (including children), and he was flexible in adapting the itinerary to fit our schedule and interests. We initially found him through Civitatis, but decided to book directly in order to customize the trip.
Communication was clear and easy via WhatsApp, in English. During the tour, we were also accompanied by Solomon, who speaks Spanish, which made things more comfortable for our group.
We stayed at Sora Lodge Lalibela, which was a good choice — comfortable, clean, and with great views.
The itinerary was flexible and allowed for a few extra stops, like visiting the local market and taking photos, which the kids especially enjoyed.
Overall, everything worked smoothly and as expected. I would recommend Daniel if you’re looking for a flexible and straightforward way to visit Lalibela.

One day trip to Lalibela with a competent guide
I went to Lalibela with 2 friends of mine for a one-day trip in mid-October. I contacted Daniel 2 weeks before our arrival. We discussed in length all details of the trip. He helped us make the perfect plan to make the best of our short stay. I appreciated his prompt responses and well articulated and detailed answers. It was very helpful since we had worries about the overall situation in Lalibela after the war. But we weren’t disappointed at all. He was punctual, he picked us up in the airport and dropped us at the end on time. He arranged our stay in the hotel and our meals. And most importantly he had deep knowledge of the history of his town. He speaks perfect English and we appreciated his energetic and captivating way of storytelling. He added more depth to our visit with his extensive knowledge of the region and all the hidden gems. We also went on a hike to Asheton monastery, which was a challenging trek where you get to enjoy the best landscapes of the beautiful Lalibela nature. We discussed a variety of topics (politics, religion, history…). Daniel answered all of our inquiries. I highly recommend Daniel for all his skills and professionalism. He made our trip worthwhile. I rate him as excellent.

An extremely knowledgable and capable professional
We worked with Daniel as part of a larger professional photography project, with very exacting requirements, oftentimes extremely demanding both in terms of the people we needed to work with as well as the conditions, timings etc. Daniel was able to make everything work, overcoming any challenges which arose during the project and providing quick solutions. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Daniel, I would recommend his services to everyone, and even more so to any demanding professional photographer visiting Lalibela and Ethiopia in general. I am personally looking forward to working with Daniel again soon.

Daniel, Fantastic Guide in Lalibela, Trip Coordinator
Daniel recently showed me around Lalibela for 3 days and was a wonderful guide! He was really considerate and adjusted the schedule to do things that I was interested in. Daniel's father was a priest so he has a lot of special insights into the churches and culture. Having homemade lunch with his family was a true highlight. He was very respectful, and which was important to me as a solo female traveller. Daniel also helped me plan a trip to Harar and Arba Minch (Konso & Dorze) and coordinated fantastic local guides in each place. All arranged by WhatsApp and email in advance. Highly recommended!!!

Danakil Depression
Excellent service from Danil. He helped me organize my trip to the Danakil Depression, answered all my questions, and made sure everything went smoothly during the tour. On my last day, with some free time, he also arranged a driver to help me explore more of Addis Ababa.
