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.

Everyone should know, I think, that visiting these places is indispensable for once education and understanding of the world.

Tina was a fantastic guide who, not only introduced the archeological sites and museums before visiting them, but answered pretty much whatever question was thrown at her. A wonderful day of history!

This tour thoroughly immerses you in the Macedonian era during Alexander the Great's lifetime. You visit remnants of the ancient village of Pella, plus visit museums with artifacts of the time. Eleni, our excellent guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend this tour.

This was a fantastic deep dive into Macedonian history! I felt lucky to have an archaeologist as driver and guide, and Stavros really helped bring the past to life, sharing not only the history of Philip and Alexander but also his own experiences working on various sites and the discoveries made there. The group was also lovely - a small group that all had similar interests and enjoyed talking with each other and sharing insights about travel and our own explorations. All in all, a brilliant day out and one of the best day tours I've ever taken!
