    Abebe Tesfaw For Local Flavors & Scenes

    As an dependent traveler, I am always skeptical of hiring guide unless I am going to get something out of it I can’t do myself I am looking for a personal touch from a guide to show something beyond the internet articles and guide books abebe provides just that. Abebe is a solid standup guy with great knowledge not only lalibela but the entire country of Ethiopia. He can be as professional or as laid back as you’d like. We meet him in the restaurant and he come up to as we were talking about what to do and see. He offered to help and give us some option and finally offered he’s service. His prices are tough to beat and he’s very flexible with the structure of the program he will do whatever tour you’d like to go on. So we wended up doing a half day hike with him up the mountain to see a church with amazing panoramic views of the valley. It was a good hike and tour at a fantastic price.at the end, he invited us over for dinner to his house. It doesn’t get much more personal and full service than that. He made us doro wat, an amazing Ethiopian dish, and treated us to locally made tej. Truth is you’d hard pressed to find someone as friendly, generous knowledgeable and hardworking to handle you time in lalibela or Ethiopia. you can contact abebe directly ecoethiopiatours@gmail.com +251921963544

    Fantastic tour

    Abebe was the guide for our small group of travelers in Ethiopia From the first moment that we met him we knew that we were going to have a wonderful experience. He embodies all of the characteristics of an outstanding guide: he is funny, patient, flexible, caring and knowledgeable. His English is excellent and he shared his information and stories in an informative and entertaining manner.. However his true value became apparent when political unrest erupted in parts of the country during our visit. He remained calm, despite reports of violence along our route, constantly monitored the situation and made on-the –spot decisions as to how to best manage our itinerary. I highly recommend Abebe to anyone who wants to travel about Ethiopia and both learn and laugh along the way

    2 days trek around Lalibela: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Addis Ababa.

    How much does 2 days trek around Lalibela cost?

    +

    Prices start at $250 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Addis Ababa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 days trek around Lalibela take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Addis Ababa is not rushed.

    Is 2 days trek around Lalibela worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Addis Ababa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 days trek around Lalibela?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 days trek around Lalibela suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 days trek around Lalibela?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Addis Ababa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Addis Ababa and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 days trek around Lalibela start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Addis Ababa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Addis Ababa?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Addis Ababa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Addis Ababa Authentic Private City Tour, Addis Ababa Guided City Tour With Airport & Hotel Pick Up, Full Day Tour of Addis Ababa with Hotel Pickup and Drop-off. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Addis Ababa?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Addis Ababa?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2 days trek around Lalibela?

    +

    Included: 2 nights accommodation; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Drinks; and Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 2 days trek around Lalibela include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is 2 days trek around Lalibela offered in?

    +

    +
