          Exploring
          I never imagined how beautiful Ethiopia is and everything it has to offer. Thanks to Gelila Tours, we discovered breathtaking places in just ten days. We explored the stunning region of Tigray, where we visited several churches and experienced the awe-inspiring view from the rock-hewn Abuna Yamata Guh church, as well as Mariam Korkor and Daniel Korkor. We had the chance to visit a local market in Hawzen and even witness the celebration of Meskel in the Tigray capital, Mekelle. Our adventure continued as we traveled to Afar, where we had an unforgettable experience in the Danakil Depression, Dallol, and even hiked to the active volcano Erta Ale. Camping under the stars for a few days was incredible. Later, we flew north to Jinka, where we visited local tribes. It was amazing to witness a different culture and, thanks to the guides, to get so close and immerse ourselves in their way of life. I am deeply grateful for this experience. It was wonderful to explore a different country so intimately, and this wouldn’t have been possible without the excellent guidance from Gelila Tours. Thank you!

          BEST 10 days in ETHIOPIA
          I visited Ethiopia with my friend and I must say that it was really the best trip we have ever been on. We chose Gelila Ethiopia because I saw that they offer tours and organized tours of different places all over Ethiopia. I would never have believed that we would get along so well there and it would be so well organized. We saw Axum, the rock churches, Addis, Jinka, Mekele and many other places. We also had flights in the country and there was always someone waiting for us at the airport. Everyone was always on time and everyone spoke perfect English. So we were really surprised. I negotiated the whole trip with the wonderful Asgedom, who explained to me how it works in Ethiopia and where we would go. If you also go to the volcano, you will be in a wonderful, breathtaking camp. You don't have to worry. You will have a great chef there and you will definitely enjoy yourself! Thank you very much indeed for your care and I highly recommend everyone to visit Ethiopia!

          very special
          I met manager Asgedom Tazeze about 10 years ago in Axum. He was a young clever kid, full of positive energy and wonderful intentions and initiative. He learned the Ethiopian culture by living it, he learned english by speaking it with visitors, and with a bit of help from family, friends, school and the world wide web, he grew into a very open, professional organizer and guide, not only interested in sharing the rich culture of his home country, but also he developed a global view on the world and how it could (or should) be turned in a beautiful peaceful place.

          One of the Most Incredible Experiences In My Life
          The experience I had while on my trip to Axum was nothing less then amazing. Gelila was very kind and professional offering the best services to accommodate my needs. They are not only very professional but they ensure you enjoy the full Ethiopian experience. Thanks to Gelila I was able to film a documentary on my experience in Axum, hopefully it makes the big screens!

          Cultural tour of Axum and Addis
          I went on the tour with Asgedom Tazeze and he was the most professional guide I have ever met . He showed me all the religious sites in Axum and taught me the customs and cultural norms of the people there and then we flew to Addis and toured the city and saw all the famous historical sites and museums and even went for fantastic meals that he recommended . I will tell you that Asgedom bent over backwards to do everything to assist . He went far above expectations . I had gotten a little but ill from drinking homemade beer and I think maybe my American stomach wasn’t ready for such adventures . I was flying out in the evening and Asgedom let me rest in his hotel room until I felt better and then he brought me to the airport . I am so happy that I made a true friend on this trip and you will too of you contact him when traveling to Ethiopia . He is a real gentleman and I look forward to meeting him again soon . https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g3667784-d16708890-Reviews-Gelila_Ethiopia_Tours-Axum_Tigray_Region.html

          Excellent Tour Company in Northern Ethiopia!
          Visited Axum, Gondar and Lalibella over the course of one week and had a wonderful time, thanks to Gelila Ethiopia Tours. The guide was extremely organized and had a well designed itinerary that covered all the major landmarks in the area. If you're anywhere near the Simean mountains, definitely make time to see the Gelada monkeys. Always felt safe and comfortable during the tour and would highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Ethiopia!

          Knowledgeable and extremely helpful guide
          Our guide, Muez Tewelede (+251910483724), was very helpful and thoughtful during our stay in Axum. He was extremely klnowledeable and spoke very good English, which made our visits to the historical sites very insightful. He also paid attention to the details, such as good places to have lunch or get a cup of coffee. In addition to this, he went the extra mile by helping us to organise the next leg of our journey to a different part of Ethiopia. We really enjoyed spending time with Muez.

          Gelila Ethiopia Tours is Top Notch!
          Over the course of several months' stay in Axum, I had numerous opportunities to avail myself of the services of Gelila Ethiopia Tours.These included guided tours as I familiarized myself with Axum and surrounding areas, had unexpected guests, and finally visits with family. I was impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of the tour owner/operator, Asgedom Tazeze, and the carefully chosen guides whom he enlisted. The day trips and extended tours were affordably priced, the van impeccably clean, and the drivers were courteous and cautious. The guides were punctual, flexible, and patient, especially when it came to shopping, toilet stops, and meals. In Axum, the Stelae, Queen of Sheba bath and palace, and St. Mary of Zion Church (and the Ark of the Covenant) are a must. Have the guide enlist a brief tour of the church and its illuminated texts. These holy books are written in the ancient script of Geez. Nearby sites include the rock-hewn churches and monasteries. Note that women are not allowed in some venues, so plan accordingly. Take the fly/drive excursions to Lalibela and Gondar. Lalibela and the churches are magnificent and awe-inspiring. The castles at Gondar give a taste of the ancient history of Ethiopia. Trek into the Simien mountains for the day in order to see the Gelada monkeys. Gelila Ethiopia Tours can work with your budget and will find great accommodations that are very clean and comfortable and affordable. Excellent service from start to finish.

          BEST TOUR COMPANY IN ETHIOPIA!!
          I toured the Tigray Region of Ethiopia using Gelila Ethiopia Tours. It was the third company I have used during this trip, yet it was the most professional, knowledgeable and enjoyable of them all. The entire staff made me feel welcomed and like i was family. I will definitely recommend this company and will be using them again if I am ever in the area. Thank you for the wonderful time and sharing the Ashenda experience with me.
