Es una ciudad que sorprende, con una historia milenaria riquísima. Sus monumentos, sus obeliscos.... y, por supuesto, Santa Maria de Sión y el Arca de la Alianza. El tour no pido estar mejor organizado por Beka. Recomendable 100 por 100.

Auténticamente espectacular. Llevaba muy leído todo lo que se podía ver en Axum pero aún así ¡el tour consiguió sorprenderme muchísimo! Beka siempre lo organiza todo perfecto para que resulte una visita increíble. Los obeliscos, la iglesia de Santa Maria de Sion, la tabla trilingüe, el palacio de Kaleb… El imperio aksumita debió ser grandioso. Pero Aksum tiene más… Tigray siempre da más. Y Beka sabe enseñártelo y transmitírtelo.
