    Haile was able to accommodate to all my needs by going above and beyond. Together with his colleague from Mekelle they made my trip to Tigray once in a life time. He was able to engage all of us at our level with a lot of care.

    We had a two days visit to the Ger’alta region of Tigray and Haile was our tour guide who made our trip very enjoyable. He is very knowledgeable and time effective. As we had only two days, he went out of his way to make sure we have seen the most beautiful and wonderful churches in the area.

    Haile guided our group of 6 Lithuanians and 2 Americans as we executed a packed itinerary of historic sites and slept in remote community guesthouses. We greatly benefitted from his knowledge, communication skills and adaptability. I was especially grateful that he kept an eye out for my companion whenever she trailed behind the group to take photos ... helping us all navigate difficult terrain and providing assistance as needed. His good English and Tigrigna language skills and familiarity with the hiking routes allowed us to have fun as we navigated the agricultural and pastoral communities with cultural sensitivity and diplomacy. Haile offered to take photos capturing beautiful, shared memories in the gorgeous landscapes. We sincerely appreciate his genuine kindness and passionate love for his homeland. I would highly recommend him for any activity in the Tigray region.

    Hile is a very nice person, so friendly and with a big knowledge of the orthodox cristianity. I visited 2 rocky churches with him, in the Wukro group, absolutely beautiful. The first one, Abraha we Atsbeha is about 15 km from Wukro, and it has the best paintings in the zone. Moreover, Hile brought me to a typical ceremony in the early morning, set in wukro chercos, the main church in Wukro; an experience absolutely unique. Thanks to him and to his kindness.

    The places are simply amazing, impossible to describe in words. Notice that for Abuna Yemata you must not suffer from vertigo and is helpful to know basic rock climbing, although there are some guys helping you (tip is strongly suggested at the end). Haile is very nice and prepared about Orthodox theology, as all the church guides they strongly believe in what they're telling you.
