EXCELLENT Based on 16 reviews Posted on Maggie B2025-02-10Verified “Unforgettable Experience in Tigray with Birhanu I had a fantastic visit to Gheralta, thanks to Birhanu. Despite having only one day, he made sure everything went smoothly and I made the most of my time. Birhanu’s deep knowledge of the area and flexibility with my tight schedule made my trip unforgettable. We hiked to most of the churches, and his passion for the history of the region was inspiring. He even arranged a trip to Axum, adding to the experience. I highly recommend Birhanu for anyone visiting Tigray—his personalized approach and local expertise are exceptional.Posted on Chris T2025-02-06Verified Amazing guide who will connect you to the culture My wife and I have traveled with Gheralta Mountain Tours and Berhanu multiple times and every time, it has been a wonderful experience that we will carry with us the rest of our lives. If you are going to Tigray, reach out to Berhanu and you will not be disappointed. You'll get a fully immersive experience that not only takes you to beautiful places, but allows you to connect with a storied and beautiful culture.Posted on Danièle R2025-02-06Verified A journey through time and the beauty of the world The 3-day trip from Mekele to Axum, with Berhanu our guide, was a perfect success. After a night in Mekele, we left at dawn to climb a steep mountain (you need good walking shoes with rigid soles) to the Church of Maryma Korkor dug into the rock, with splendid Byzantine paintings and the cave of Abba Daniel, also decorated. Magnificent landscapes. Then road to Yeha and its temple with immense sandstone walls from the Sabean period and visit of the small museum with astonishing riches. Finally, on the third day, visit of Axum, its granite obelisks, astonishing, and the stone of Ezana. The guide of the site of Axum was particularly competent. The kindness and competence of Berhanu made this journey very pleasant and serene. Our driver, Binyam, very reliable, in a comfortable car, contributed to the success of this mini road-trip. Thank you both. We were three women, of three different ages, and would like to come back, visit other sites in Tigray.Posted on Kalkidan C2025-02-03Verified A peaceful place It was a fantastic trip to a truly wonderful place. Though a little scary at times, the beauty of the view and the serenity of this spiritual site are beyond words. It is one of the most amazing destinations in the Tigray region.Posted on Hunegnaw S2025-02-03Verified Unfordable time We had a good time climbing up to gherealta mountain abune yemata church was a memory for life time specially with guide and group leader berhane. Thanks Bre🙏Posted on Someone E2025-01-29Verified Great organisation to see fabulous locations! Fascinated by the ancient cultures and their history in Ethiopia.Gheralta Mountains Tours arranged my tour to some of the most spectacular religious sites cut into the sides of mountains – breathtaking!They also arranged for me a tour of the Omo Valley tribes, an experience no-one should miss.Can't speak highly enough of these people. Highly recommended!Posted on Nicolas D2025-01-23Verified Best way to see Geralta We had a great time in Geralta thanks to Berhanu and his driver. The region is incredible and despite tourism just reopening after the conflict there, we had very good accomodation, very good food and got to meet local farmers and priests. A bit of rockclimbing made it for great adventure memories. Definitely recommendedPosted on Clem H2025-01-21Verified once in a lifetime trip An absolutely wonderful time for our family (with 3 teenagers) in Gheralta with Berhanu and his team. He found such a great balance between serious hiking, visting cultural sights and soaking in the the spectacular landscape of this region. We were at all times safe and good hands thanks to a very well organised Berhanu.Posted on Ciro S2025-01-19Verified African beauties It was amazing, with a lot off discoveries of people, sites, architectures and natural beauties we have never seen beforePosted on Sara d2025-01-19Verified The best guide of Gheralta ! I had a very nice time in the Tigray region thanks to Brehanu and his team. Being a solo female traveler from Switzerland, I choose my local guides as often as possible by recommandations. This one was particularly a great one as he made me feel as friend and family, not a client. He is intelligent, sensitive, hardworking, humble, generous and with a lot of responsibilities taking care of his mother and his siblings. During his childhood and school holidays, he was a goat shepherd in the Gheralta mountains. He is educated, fluent in English, respectful, human-oriented and not money-driven, a rare quality in the tourism sector. The safety and happinness of his clients matter more than anything else, he can adjust the offer depending on your budget and accommodation expectations. We visited many beautiful sites, churches, monasteries, view points, accessible either by private car, motobike or hiking ! This region is absolutely stunning and one of the highlight of my trip was to visit his family, learning how to make injeera and the tea ceremony on their farm. I would like to say here again a thousand thanks to Brehanu, Kebi and the other persons who made my stay so full of great memories. We even saved a donkey together (ask him the story when you will meet him ;))! I wish all the best of success to Brehanu and I highly recommend him to any solo or group travelers : +251 91 486 1090
