Elise N2025-03-14Verified Couldn’t ask for better! After the other company I used in Ethiopia would only take me to Dallol from Semera, I found Aregawi. He can take you in and out from Mekele in one day, and with extreme care- communication leading up to my trip was amazing, and I was in contact with him the entire time. As a solo female traveler, I couldn’t have asked for a more trustworthy host! Nishan K2025-03-09Verified 1 week in Lalibela, Danakil, Tigray I had a quick, but incredible time visiting Lalibela, Danakil Depression, and Tigray - I would highly recommend working with Gheralta Trekking Tours and Aregawi, the owner/operator of the company.After comparing a few different trip organizers, I reached out through the website and then continued the conversation over WhatsApp. After discussing different options, regional safety, and timing we decided on an itinerary with 2 days in Lalibela, 3 days in the Danakil Depression, and 2 days in Tigray. Aregawi handled all of the logistics other than the internal fights which I booked for myself. Everything went according to the itinerary we agreed upon and was as he described.Lalibela: 2 days. I was most excited to see the rock-hewn churches and they exceeded expectations. An absolute must-see and my guide there, Abeje, was incredible as well.Danakil Depression: 3 days. Aregawi added me to a group (I don't remember the name, but it was not ETT) and I was picked up after landing in Semera. There is a lot of driving, but it is completely worth it. Dalol, the salt flats, and the volcano are stunning. The pictures are incredible, but it is even more stunning in real life. I then split from the rest of the group and drove to Mekele in Tigray.Tigray: 2 days. Aregawi was my guide in Tigray and he met me in the hotel when I arrived and we had dinner in Mekele together. The next 2 days were spent trekking in the mountains and visiting the rock churches. The landscapes are beautiful and the cave churches even more so. Afterwards I felt back to Addis to end this portion of my trip.I would highly recommend working with Aregawi and Gheralta Trekking Tours. I don't usually work with trip organizers, but given the short timing I decided it made more sense and am very happy I did so. I felt everything was well organized, the pricing was very fair, and Aregawi himself was very kind and easy to work with. Pria2025-02-18Verified Perfect guide for your tours! Guide, prepared, nice and honest. Always punctual and precise on the program to do. He knows the territory perfectly and thanks to this he can make you discover the wonders of Ethiopia! sławomir k2025-01-26Verified Unforgettable moments What can I say, everything was top notch organized by Aregawi, from hotels to all internal flights, transportation, full board, water, snacks etc. Aregawi is very knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor, I felt very comfortable and at ease with him. I saw tribes, the active volcano Erta Ale, the amazing Gheralta Mountains, beautiful churches carved into the rock, and my favorite, the Danakil Depression, this is a place you must see when in Ethiopia. I spent 11 unforgettable days in Ethiopia thanks to Aregawi, I recommend him wholeheartedly. Anna G2025-01-26Verified Best quide in Ethiopia If you are going to Ethiopia, I would like to highly recommend Aregawi as a guide. From the beginning of planning the trip, before arrival, to the last day of its duration - Aregawi demonstrated great professionalism, great knowledge of his country and the places I wanted to visit, and flexibility. Extremely nice, made sure that everything was very good, showed and allowed me to experience the real life of the local people. Aregawi provided me with a full range of impressions and emotions. It was an unforgettable trip. Thank you!!! L.Livancic2025-01-08Verified Great experience! Huge recommendation! We had a great time in Geralta mountains with our Tourguide Aregawi and our Driver Kyros.Aregawi was the perfect Guide as he found a perfect solution to make the most out of our 2 days in geralta mountains and our half days in Mek'ele and Aksum. He showed us a lot of interesting sites and always gave a lot of background information. He was always on time, very caring, and we had a lot of fun together. As he is very experienced and trustful I felt very safe to go up to abuna yematha ghu with him! Additionally, he took a lot of my pictures which made the experience easier and more enjoyable for me. The pictures are by the way very great!!In every regard he is a perfect guide with which you'll have a great, funny, informative, and unforgettable time! Huge recommendations to everyone! Leonardo D2024-12-29Verified Aregawi, the best tourist guide in Tigray! Aregawi Zablon has been the best guide we could desire.Available, funny and well prepared to explain you the beautiful monuments of this country and in the region of Tigray.We have visited the rock churches, really recommended.But everything you will visit with him will be an amazing adventure.Thanks for everything Aregawi, hope you will reach your dreams, you deserve it.Thanks a lot for the magical experience. slivancic2024-12-29Verified Close to heaven We traveled as a family to visit the famous churches of Geralta mountains. Are became our guide. He is a very organized and disciplinized person, always on time, careful for everybody! I'm not very well in hiking, so we discussed a lot of options how I will succeed Korkor Maryam, because I wanted it so much. And Are had the perfect solution for me .... we slept overnight on the top of the mountain, so I could take my time and do it splited in 2 days. I did it and I'm more than thankful for this possibility and the great support by Are and shure our loveley guide Aman. We spend 3 days together and we had a lot of fun, so at the end we have been sad to leave.Also our driver Kyros was very nice.We will miss you all and we highly recomend Are and his team. Trustful, competend, on time, helpful, relyable and funny🤗 Nathalie J2024-12-05Verified Wonderful 2 weeks in Ethiopia We spent nearly 2 weeks traveling in Ethiopia with Aregawi and had a wonderful time. He helped us plan the whole trip and organized everything from booking domestic flights to hotels. We can only recommend him so much ! Paulina G2024-11-20Verified Really recommended! Great trip I have just come back from the tour around Ethiopia. I've been there with my partner and Aregawi organised our whole trip. Starting from domestic flights, plan of the visit, hotels, activities and food. He organised it very well and we could always count on him. Always stayed in touch with us and if there was any problem he solved it within 5min. Also the plan was so well made that we didn't have empty boring spaces. He can easily adapt to your needs and preferences. That's great 😁 I really recommend Aregawi.We've done the tour - >Lalibela, Addis, Omo Valley, Danakil Depression, Gheralta Churches.Thank you Aregawi 😊
