★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 26 reviews · from $70Our pick

Spend about six and a half hours seeing Addis Ababa at street level with a private guide. Visit Mercato, the National Museum and Lucy, Zoma Museum, Tomoca Coffee or a coffee ceremony, Tiglachin Memorial, and Meskel Square. Guides such as Beki and Gashaw are noted for making the day flexible and personal.

“This tour was really interesting, thanks to my guide. He made me feel like a citizen of Addis for several hours, walking some kilometers. Plus his knowledge about history & habits of the country & the city was quite more interesting than the hike itself. It was a pleasure and I would recommend to everyone who wants to discover the city out of a climatised car.”

Build your own Lalibela day with a private guide such as Firew or Alex. Walk among the famous rock-hewn churches, hike toward Asheton Maryam, see village life, or add an injera-making session. Pickup is available in central Lalibela or at the airport, with the day shaped around your interests and walking ability.

“We did a daily trek around Lalibela with Firew and our whole Lalibela experience got better. I came to Lalibela with only rock-hewn churches in mind but a trek around the village gives you a great perspective about the locals' daily life - all within a breath taking landscape.”
