What our travelers say about us
"I've been travelling in Africa for over 2 years and have had some guides when necessary. BUT Mas from Lalibella has been the most exceptional guide i have ever come across in my many years of travel.I am a solo and independent traveller...I didn't think I'd really need a guide in Lalibella, but I'm glad i was introduced to Mas as he was recommended by many other travellers."
"Hiking in the Simien Mountains was the adventure of a lifetime. The landscapes are surreal, and we saw so much wildlife. The team at Surprise Lalibela Tour took excellent care of us."
"What an incredible tour guide. Mas was so hospitable and helpful with incredible knowledge of the history of Lalibela. Most importantly when you are travelling alone in a country for the first time you need a reliable and safe tour guide which he certainly was. Everybody here knows Mas, it's like he has the freedom of the city. I went on a 2 day tour and one of the best things is the places he takes you to get amazing photographs. If you are a professional, or an amateur with an iPhone, Mas is the man to take you to the best spots. 10/10!"
