Get to know the imperial capital, the ancient city where Alexander the Great was born and raised and where the great philosopher and tutor Aristoteles was invited to educate him. The archaeological treasures of the glorious Macedonian Kingdom of Alexander the Great and his father Phillip II, as detailed by Herodotus, invite you to a unique roadtrip to history. The excursion travels you to the ancient greek, byzantine and modern history bringing back in light the lost prestige of Aigai, the first city of the Macedonians. Discover the museum of Aigai; a World Heritage site of UNESCO, against the natural beauty of the area and the view of the Macedonian plain that travels our eye till the end of the horizon.

Friendly & informative tour guide called Yianni, & very safe bus driver. Pella & the museum that houses Philipos’ tomb is fantastic. The brand new Aigai museum not so good as the people at the front desk were rude & had no entry prices advertised. The rooms were big & empty & there was too much writing on the walls for a museum. The artefacts were displayed well though. Tour participants could benefit from the guide advising on the bus how long we have at each museum & a meeting place as we were told this when some of the group had already gone ahead of the rest.

la guida era competente e disponibile, ha cercato di facilitare i nostri trasferimenti perché era una giornata di pioggia intensa, ha risposto a tutte le domande che gli abbiamo posto, era molto cordiale. Puntualità perfetta. giusto rapporto qualità/prezzo

It was a great visit to the archeological sites and museums at Pella and Vergina. As a larger than average person, I found the minibus a bit tight, but luckily, we never were on it for too long. All four of our stops were extraordinary, and different. I don't understand why more tourists don't visit the area. Nikos, our "tour attendant" was pleasant and helpful, and the information he imparted on the bus (and his answers to our questions) was interesting and provided context to the amazing things that we saw. I would have liked for him to give us more of a guided tour through the sites, but it was OK without it.
