Visit with a licensed guide Vergina (or Aige in ancient Greek), which is located only 82 km away from Thessaloniki, in central Macedonia. Vergina is Unesco World Heritage Site, where among the other antiquites you will have the chance to see the nicely preserved tomb of King Philip II (father of Alexander the Great) and the tomb of Alexander IV (son of Alexander the Great). Continuing with your guided tour, we will visit the city of Veria, stroll around its narrow preserved quorters, see the altar of Apostle Paul, visit the Orta Mosque and check the oldest Synagoge in the Balkans. Also, free time for lunch in one of the many taverns of Veria and return to Thessaloniki in the afternoon.

The convenience factor cannot be stated enough to having a personal driver to see the sights while on a limited time stopover in the region. He met us at the cruise port and drove us straight to the highlights. He told us a bit about the region and was even able to add in highlights of an additional stop since we still had the available time on the meter.

We only had 1 full day inThessaloniki and wanted to see as many things as we could. This trip to Vergina and Veria and our guide Ian was perfect for us. His knowledge of the ancient greek history was remarkable! We visited the museum of Aige and the macedonian royal tombs. He was a fun guide and the tour exceeded our expectations. The lunch in Veria city was great too! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this trip and Ian.

After many years of anticipation, we were finally able to tour the tomb of King Philip, II. Our professional driver and guide, Yanni, shared so many fascinating facts and figures. As an archaeologist with numerous degrees, he is a credit to the company. We highly recommend him. Thank you, Yanni. M and D

Tombs and artifacts were fascinating. Sights in Veria were interesting as well. George was a very good driver, and willing to share information about what life is like for Greeks today despite his difficulty with speaking English. However, he is definitely not a guide. No information was volunteered of historical content.
