Great Pace, Great Guide, Great Day - Fantastic tour — very well organised, with timings that felt just right for each site and attraction. Our guide was genuinely insightful and shared interesting, useful information throughout the day. Nothing felt rushed, and we had ample time to enjoy each stop. We chose not to have lunch at the designated restaurant and instead grabbed a quick bite, which allowed us extra time at the Royal Tombs — something we really appreciated. Meeting points and times were always clear, making the whole experience smooth and stress‑free. A well‑run tour that made the day both enjoyable and memorable, definitely for those interested in history- a must go!

A must do! - Absolutely stunning collection of artifacts along this tour. We loved every location more and more. The museum at Aigai is a jaw dropping experience! Admission to the museums was more than reasonably priced, the museums almost feel like a private experience, the lunch stop was delicious and the history from our tour guide made the drive go by quick! Can’t recommend this tour enough!

A trip worth your time , learn all about Macedonia, Alexander and Phillip ! - The in depth knowledge of guide ( him being an archaeologist) was very informative and appreciated. Seeing King Phillips belongings in person is well worth it. Overall the trip was excellent !

Visit the Tomb of Philip of Macedon and be Amazed - The highlight is the archaeological site of Vergina. Regrettably the site of Pella was overgrown with long grass and the outline of the ruins often not discernible.

Long day , lots to see , every - thing well explained. Extra was lunch at a Greek family restaurant. - The experience was very good made much better by the fact that we had the luck to go on the one day of the year that all entrance fees were free. The tomb of Philip 2 of Macedonia was the highlight of the trip. Anybody that is at all interested in history should see where the whole story of Philip and his son started out. All this was explained very well by a wonderful guide.
