Great small group tour
Marcus_P, Oct 2019
Pick up as advertised. The driver/guide was knowledgeable, but the fact that the sites don't allow local guides meant that he was rather limited in how much he could impart. 45 Euros quite expensive when it didn't include cost of entry to sites/museums. Still, a good day.
Disappointing trip
Suprio_G, Oct 2019
The tour guide was very poor. Never accompanied us at any location, although we found all groups with an accompaning guide. Went on repeating endlessly how time was short so he cannot join us at the sites or museums. Told us to save time he will explain the things in the bus...but never did. Forced upon us a long political discourse on how bad is North Macedonia. We are touring and political lectures are completely unacceptable and the tour bus is not the place for it!!!
Excellent trip with detailed explanation

Fascinating tour of Pella and Vergina.
Particularly enjoyed seeing the tomb and artefacts in the tomb of Philip II
The guide was knowledgeable and thorough
Great guide
Andreas F, Jan 2019
The whole tour was planned superbly, we had enough time in each museum to look around and take pictures and even if the archeological site was closed because of the bad weather we could stop outside to get some explanations and take and overall look of the site.
Oud Macedonië.
Koen_D, Jan 2020
Zowel Pella als Vergina zeer interessant. Geeft goed begrip van ontstaan en opkomst van Macedonië. Indrukwekkend om te lopen waar Alexander de Grote opgroeide (Pella) en om de tombe van zijn vader te zien (Vergina).
Muy completa

Estuvo muy bien, fueron muy puntuales al recogernos en el punto de salida. George el guía muy simpático y se notaba que la historia le gusta lo trasmitia mientras explicaba. En Pella nos faltó un poco de tiempo, pero con el calor que hacía, casi se agradeció.
