3.Churches Full-Day Private Tour w/Coffee Ceremony

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 5 reviews · 1 day · from $342

Spend a full day touring Lalibela’s famous rock-cut churches in a private car with an English or Amharic-speaking guide. Visit Bet Medhane Alem, Bet Maryam, Bet Abba Libanos, and Bet Giyorgis, then share coffee in a family home and watch Amhara music and dance. Ask if Abebe is available, as he is praised for detailed explanations and strong local connections.

“This was an amazing tour and guide. Abebe was a fantastic guide. From the pick up from the Airport to our first day for visiting the churches in Lalibela. He knows his stuff. He took his time and explained everything in great detail at each church. His vast knowledge about the history of Lalibela, the churches and the area puts you at ease knowing that you are in good hands. His connections to the community and It's people as well. I called him 'the mayor' of the city, as he knows so many people. I chose a more personalized tour, which included a walk to the monastery on a mountaintop.…”
