I had a wonderful 3-day visit to Lalibela with Dan. It is essential you visit Lalibela with a guide and Dan was fantastic. Prior to my arrival he worked with me to understand the combination of experiences I was looking for which included culture and nature. His flexibility and knowledge of the surrounding areas made it thoroughly enjoyable and informative. Dan has a unique connection to the area going back generations which gives him both a formal and personal understanding of the richness of Lalibela.549micaelas

Siamo stati 3 giorni a Lalibela, Dan ci ha accompagnato in un tour fantastico. Ha saputo organizzare al meglio le nostre visite modulandole alle nostre esigenze. Il primo giorno a giro per le chiese, il secondo a Yemrehanna kriestos e poi un trek scendendo la montagna da Asheten mahryam fino a Lalibela. L'ultimo giorno ad assistere di primo mattino alla messa I Santa Maria e poi al mercato. Posso confermare che è veramente bravo, in gamba, e competente. Lo consiglio a chiunque abbia bisogno di una guida a Lalibela. Grazie Danhenokchi
