Interesting tour with spectacular museums - The tour was excellent but your payment system is a hassle: We booked the tour on Feb. 13, 2025 and were told that you would withdraw the tourprice from my Credit Card, and there was nothing else to do for us - but enjoy! On April 25, you wrote that you will withdraw the tourprice. On April 26, you informed us that you had cancelled the tour becauce you were unable to withdraw the amount from my Credit Card. This is not surprising, since most Credit Cards these days use dual confirmation system where the cardholder has to reconfirm the payments. We apreciate that you want to withdraw the amount as late as possible but this just does not work. We had to go through the whole reservation process once more.

Walking in the shadow of Alexander the Great - This tour thoroughly immerses you in the Macedonian era during Alexander the Great's lifetime. You visit remnants of the ancient village of Pella, plus visit museums with artifacts of the time. Eleni, our excellent guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend this tour.

Great trip with a former archaeologist! - This was a fantastic deep dive into Macedonian history! I felt lucky to have an archaeologist as driver and guide, and Stavros really helped bring the past to life, sharing not only the history of Philip and Alexander but also his own experiences working on various sites and the discoveries made there. The group was also lovely - a small group that all had similar interests and enjoyed talking with each other and sharing insights about travel and our own explorations. All in all, a brilliant day out and one of the best day tours I've ever taken!

Best way from Thessaloniki - Easy way to visit both sites from Thessaloniki. Visit the site and museum of Pella and the new museum and sites of Vergina. Stops are enough to visit everything. Really a nice walk in time.
