The visit to the royal tombs at Virginia is a must do! - Wow! What a wonderful tour! The visit to the royal tombs was the absolute highlight of our holiday in Greece. Our guide, Dimitra, was a delight and a wealth of knowledge. I warned that we intend to return to Thessaloniki to join her on another of her guided tours. This is a must do tour for any visitors to Thessaloniki.

Maria was an amazing... - Maria was an amazing guide. Extremely knowledgeable. During the bus trip to Veria she gave us a a comprehensive background Macedonian history and then guided us through the two incredible museums in Vergina. Although it was not scheduled in the program she also took us to see the synagogue in the old Jewish quarter of Veria.

Excellent tour - Very well-guided tour. The English level was great and you could understand the tour guide very well. It was also very well organized and you never had the feeling of being just a tourist. My personal favorite is that the tour guide has a lot of knowledge and understanding of what she is saying and, above all, is able to get it across. The price-performance ratio was outstandingly good.

An amazing day - Our guide was most knowledgeable and thoughtful. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and whole experience, her talks in the museums and on the sites themselves were full of information given in such a way that we gained much knowledge. She was so enthusiastic and justifiably proud of her Country. A credit to the company. Lyn and John

Thorough and really interesting - I really enjoyed this trip! The museum at Pella is superb (even allowing for the broken air-conditioning!) and the tombs/museum at Vergina are fascinating and beautifully presented. Our guide really knew her stuff; I was very impressed. The coach was comfortable and the lunch stop (an additional cost, but we were told that in advance) was excellent. If you go, take a hat and some water. The site at Pella is very open with little shade.
