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.

Asgedom arranged a wonderful tour of Axum for me. His guide drove me around to several historic sites and told lots of in-depth stories about the history. I loved his enthusiasm, and he was probably my favorite guide I had in my whole month in Ethiopia. I'd highly recommend it!

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!

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.

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.

I met Asgedom as a guid to all interesting places in this beautiful town. He is ready for even longer trips, hikes and even tours to the surroundings. If you have the chance to go with him, I would really recommend to do so!
