VIAJE DE DÍA A Monasterio Debre Libanos Cueva Iglesia Naturaleza y Vida Silvestre

Dear All, Beware of this travel agency worst experience ever we never get to the site cause the car had no suspension and a nightmare for our back both my husband and I. We requested to turn back to Addis he refused and try to convinced that we honor we lose our money finally he refused to refund or even Compromise and Keep saying that the car is Ethiopian standard not European and by the way we lived in Senegal so just to avoid them He never saw the car he rented to another travel company and never gave a dam about our concerns. We lost a whole day of vacation for disrespected and screwed of 320€.

I highly recommend this tour! A complete 10/10. My tour guide Melaku was professional and knowledgeable and as a plus he speaks perfect English, which was helpful as I am a U.S. traveler. Additionally, I am a solo female traveler and I felt 100% safe at all times! The areas we explored were beautiful and the food and coffee experience was a delight. The church was absolutely astonishing and the the owners were extremely flexible and allowed time in the schedule for me to do a mini photo shoot in traditional Ethiopian attire. We completed a hike that led to the Portuguese Bridge. This area had the most amazing views, I mean BREATHTAKING!! Please wear comfy shoes. Next to the bridge was a lovely Ethiopian restaurant with excellent and polite staff. We even saw local wildlife! After lunch, I tried Ethiopian beer and Ethiopian liquor with the locals who were very welcoming. All in all, if you have a chance you don’t want to miss this tour!!!

Prior attempts to make email contact to confirm pick up location were unsuccessful. Upon arriving at Bole International Airport I had no phone service and so was assisted to contact tour company first by information desk in terminal, then hotel shuttle drivers in parking area. After the confusing pick up in airport car park I was driven through Addis Ababa then 110km over terrible roads to Debre Libanos. The driver and tour guide were kind, friendly and informative, and I felt 100% safe at all times. I opted first for lunch on arrival at Ethiopia-German Park and enjoyed an authentic Ethiopian meal. A short hike took us over the Portuguese Bridge with magnificent views of the gorge and blue Nile tributary. I was told that if attending during rainy season you will expect to see spectacular waterfalls. A short drive took us to the monastery and museum displaying ancient texts and religious relics. Driving away we stopped to photograph a family of baboons fossicking for food in forest by the roadside. The guide was a proud and passionate patriot, enthusiastic about history of Ethiopia, highly informative, and his grasp of English was excellent. I am glad I took the trouble for this tour during a long layover in Addis Ababa for a small encounter with Ethiopian hospitality, countryside, religious dedication and beautiful wildlife. It did however involve about five or six hours of driving for only a couple hours experience and it was the interaction with a great guide that made this tour worthwhile.

A beautiful place to discover. Beautiful waterfalls, and a magnificent view of the landscape; monkeys, the monastery... and the road is also a time to discover the landscape. Nice driver, and the guides in every place are very nice too. Enjoy it.

Wubi and Ray were excellent. Wubi doesn't say much, but he's funny and a good driver. Ray is so lovely. He makes you feel like you are a friend. He goes over his limits. If you have a wish he tries to add it into the itienrary when possible. His English is excellent. He's knowledgeable, he laughs a lot and you feel very comfortable and safe with both of them. I was alone in Addis and these two just made my weekend so wodnerful. Highly recommend Walk In Tours. Gashaw, the manager, was very professional and polite.

We had an unexpected delay in Ethiopia but finding this Walk in Ethiopia tour to Libanos Monastery made for an unforgettable experience. Teewadros was an amazing driver, he had to dodge, vehicles, dog, goats, and cows most of the way. Birhanu was the best guide ever, his English was impeccable. We are an elderly couple and they tailored our hike to Portuguese bridge accordingly. We had the most amazing authentic lunch, meat and spicy gravy on injera (bread). Best of all was a coffee ceremony. We could not have been more pleased with this day tour. Go if you ever have a chance.

This was a great adventure with walkin ethiopia. We visited debrelibanos monastery, museum and Portuguese bridge which is found near the monastery. This was an epic experience.

My hotel arranged two tours with Walk in Ethiopia. Staff was friendly, efficient helpful courteous, thoughtful--everything one could imagine and want from guide and driver and agency. Guide Birnabu knew how to time and coordinate visits so we could visit Libanos when open. He also taught me lots about Ehtiopian history, culture, food

Interesting outing with sumptuous landscapes, the monastery is a curiosity that testifies to the beliefs and character of this country. The organization of the outing is well-honed with friendly guide and at lunch typical menu facing the panorama of the gorges.

The nature was extremely fascinating, so I enjoyed the hike and the baboons were amazing to see. The visit to the church was very authentic
