Vergina gold handcrafted death wreaths found in graves - Pella was impressive but Vergina was fantastic. The gold handcrafted death wreaths were exceptional. The guide added greatly to the experience.

Very informative day trip. - I can not commend the guide enough for her knowledge,and willingness and enthusiasm to share it, and the general organisation of the trip. My one very slight reservation was that a quick walk around the actual site at Pella ( only museum is included) was not included. I totally accept that there is very little to see but for the sake of completeness it needed only to have added 15/20 minutes to the day, or taken off the lunch break. This is being very picky, everything else was absolutely perfect.
