This unique 2 day tour is a guided tour of 11 monolithic churches carved out of rock in the 12th century. These churches in Lalibela were built as a New Jerusalem at time when Jerusalem was inaccessible.
Visitors will be picked up at the airport, dropped off at their hotel for lunch on their own then taken to the Northern group of churches followed by a museum visit.
The 2nd day begins with a 42 kilometer trip to the Yimrehane Krestos church built in a cave. This beautiful church built of wood and stone predates the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela by eighty years. At the back of that cave can be seen some of the centuries old mumified remains of 5,500 pilgrims.
A village nearby is optional as the visitor returns to Lalibela for lunch at their hotel and the afternoon tour of the Southeastern cluster of churchs and Bet Giyorgis (St. George) constructed in honor of St. George, the patron saint of Ethiopia.
Pick up occurs the following morning after breakfast for transfer to the airport.

Before arriving in Lalibela, I met an Ethiopian guide who told me that one day would be enough to see the place. But that wasn’t true at all.

Last summer we were on an extraordinary trip to Lalibela with Chris. What we experienced was more of an experience than an ordinary trip, it was a mental journey that exceeded our expectations. From the moment Chris met us, it was clear that he was more than just a guide. His deep attachment to the country, combined with his genuine warmth and respect for his cultural heritage, made every moment with him special. It wasn’t just about seeing historic places, it was about feeling it spiritually. Chris’ insightful storytelling and passion for his culture brought every place to life, enabling us to truly immerse ourselves in the experience. Our trips have taken us to many remarkable places, but Lalibela stands out. Under Chris’ guidance, it became more than just a destination, it became a deep encounter with history, faith and nature. Each moment left a lasting impression on us. Every detail of our trip was carefully arranged, from transport to accommodation, ensuring a "total" experience. Yet what touched us most was the way Chris made us feel – not just as tourists, but as appreciating participants in something both ancient and alive. He was more than a guide, he shared a journey that was also spiritually enriching. This journey has left an indelible mark on us. If you are considering a visit to Lalibela, experiencing it with this team is something very special and highly recommended. We already look forward to returning to this wonderful place together with Chris Lalibela Tours.

My wife and I chose to visit both the northern and southern Ethiopia, which required tour guides with specialized expertise in their geographic areas. When we came to Lalibela, it was Chris. We spent several days with him exploring the many rock churches and other Lalibela attractions. Chris knows his local history and made everything come alive. You can't do better than to go with Chris when planning your trip to Lalibela.

Some time back, I had the privilege of visiting Ethiopia and Lalibela ... with the help of Chris,, it was one of my favorite adventures ever! Chris not only taught me of the history of Lalibela .. he allowed me to experience the culture, the people.. Not easy to do on most tours. He is a fantastic guide. Even today, Chris Lalibela still reaches out to me and says hello.. an old friend. Don't hesitate to book with Chris.. you are in the best hands possible !!
