Our guide was excellent. Expensive but worthwhile tour. An intriguing maze of caves and tunnels that dates back over a thousand years was worth visiting. Full review by VaniM3925

Hi Marc - we paid about $200 return for air tickets from Addis to Lalibela and would recommend that you stay a few days there as it is lovely - we only stayed one night and wished we had stayed more nights. Marilyn is correct - we booked a brilliant guide (Abebe) though the hotel and we also booked a pickup and dropoff from the airport too. We tipped the guide in US$ as they prefer that. He spent 4 hours with us and walked us around the 11 churches - our price with the hotel also included the entrance for the churches as well.
Is it possible to enter the complex of St Mary's Church around 6:00am on Sunday (to see the ceremonies) and then continue to all other churches? How would I purchase the ticket in this case (because the site opens at 9:00am)? Or do I need to purchase the ticket a day before? Please advise!

Hi there, Yes of course you can enter in the church you mentioned on Sundays since this is a day on which church service is going on the whole night starting the eve. Around 05:00am, the mass service will start and continues till around 09:00am. But once the service is started, you should not allowed going here and there for your personal activities. Instead you stay inside the church and follow the service wiht the locals until it over. In side the church or compound moving to much is not advising for others would be disterbed.How ever, you can take photos when you find necessary. Then after the mass, you can head for your sightseeing. Buying the ticket on Saturday is more convient to enter the church compound on Sunday. Enjoy your time. Beyene.
