A UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most popular destinations in Ethiopia, the Rock-Hewn Churches at Lalibela can be intimidating to visit on your own. Going as part of a guided tour not only eliminates transportation logistics to the ten churches scattered about this medieval town, but also includes the benefit of a narrated trip so you can better grasp the history and significance of these monolithic destinations.

Ethiopia: Home to over three millennia of culture, Ethiopia stands alone as the prime destination for travelers interested in ancient history. People come from across the globe to view the heavy hitter’s city of Addis Ababa but also to see some of the world’s most recognizable art and to taste Ethiopia’s famed cuisine. Escape into Ethiopia tours help visitors do it all, while cutting down on time spent traveling between attractions and waiting in line. And while the Ethiopian capital boasts enough history, masterpieces, and food to fill any itinerary, its central position near Ethiopia’s north makes it an ideal base for exploring farther afield. Axum, Lalibela, Simien Mountains, Gondar, and Bahirdar are popular 2 weeks-trip destinations from the capital city.
