TUKUL VILLAGE

TRADITIONALLY-INSPIRED

Tukul Village offers a distinctive collection of traditionally-inspired, two storey circular houses. And even more amazing buildings lie just a few minutes’ walk away.

From its prominent position you can see the horizon framed by dark blue mountains. Tear yourself away from the view and you can experience even more jaw-dropping sights. From Tukul Village you can walk to the Church of Saint George, perhaps the most astonishing of all Lalibela’s historic churches.

As you approach you cannot believe the size of the cruciform structure that has been carved down into the solid rock hillside – it’s only the minute figures of people standing on the edge of the great crater that give you an idea of scale. Faith may move mountains, but man made this huge excavation. And that’s the thing about Lalibela – the more you see the more wonderful it becomes. So include it in your tailor-made holiday to Ethiopia.

“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”

The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”

This was our second big trip with 91�� – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.
