Scenic377821992492025-09-26Verified the journey of my life I've experienced the most wonderful trip of my life so far (11 days) . Aregawi, our guide, provided top-notch service, tailoring the itinerary to our needs. Aregawi fully supervised the safety of the trip. Ethiopia will undoubtedly remain in my heart. Dawid P2025-09-26Verified Aregawi is absolutely best guide. I've visited 70 countries so far. Aregawi was the best guide who I've ever meet. Great, friendly guy. Big knowledge and big efforts to make us happy and make our trip on absolutely high level. He is our friend now. Not only guide. Thank you for all. I recommend you 100%. Sunshine299596714032025-05-05Verified VERY PROFESSIONAL - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Professional. Very well organized including tours, trekking, hiking, lunch in the middle of nowhere, cultural shows, etc. WONDATIR ATINAF... G2025-04-29Verified An Unforgettable Journey to the Denakil Depression with Exceptional Hospitality My trip to the Danakil Depression was truly unforgettable. The landscape was breathtaking — from the colorful sulfur springs to the vast salt flats, every moment felt surreal. What made the experience even more special was the incredible hospitality of our tour guide. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and always made sure we were comfortable and safe throughout the journey. Their genuine care and deep understanding of the region added so much to the trip. I highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking for a unique and memorable travel experience! 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!
