Konstantina was great! - Fabulous! Not nearly the crowds that expected, so I got to enjoy the archeological site at Pella and the royal tombs delightfully uncrushed. Not quite enough time at the archeological site, but a delightful itinerary, all five stops were so worth it and in the end I wouldn't change anything. Just had to keep moving is all! Konstantina was so friendly and well-informed. Highly recommend!

Vergina and Pella - A memorable day! The guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the area, the museums, especially the new one in Vergina, were stunning and the Royal Tombs were definitely the highlight!

Need to see more of the ruins at Agai - The guide was a lovely lady called Eva and she was very informative. The tour was excellent except for we did not get to see all the ruins of Agai. The tombs were amazing but I would have loved to have seen the palace and theatre of Agai aswell. The museums were excellent. On the whole extremely well organised and would recommend.

The time to visit is very tight. - It's too early to get up, leave around 8:00, but actually come back at 4:00, there's absolutely no need to arrange for such an early departure, and the time at each place along the way is limited, basically too late to visit carefully, can actually be extended by two hours, so that each place will visit a bit more ample time.

Loved the museums, needed more time! - I really enjoyed visiting the archeological site & the museums. The royal tombs which was the last stop was my favorite. My only problem was that I like to read everything at the site & museums and was always running out of time. (Normal people get through much faster.) I also liked that we were left to explore on our own. Note that "lunch" was at the end at about 3pm.
