Thessaloniki Shore Excursion - This half day tour is an excellent option if you are interested in Greek history and art but only have a half day available. You will visit Vergina, known as ancient Aegae, the first capital of ancient Macedonia.

After meeting you guide you drive to Vergina. Today the small village is world renowned because of the discovery of the Royal Tombs of Macedonian Kings. Your tour includes a visit to the palace ruins believed to be the home of King Philip II and his son Alexander the Great.

The highlight is a visit the exhibition of the Royal Tombs including treasures found in them. Your guide will show you the tomb of Phillip II and interpret what you are seeing in a way that will make the ancient seem new again. You'll feast your eyes on masterpieces of ancient Greek art dating back to the 4th century B.C.

Reviewer: Karen E from Rockford, IL  
Our Private Shore Trips experience was outstanding. The van was waiting for us first thing in the AM and our driver was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed moving at our own pace and traveling in a comfortable air conditioned van. I would highly recommend and will definitely use your service next visit to Europe. (I did spread the word to many of our fellow cruisers!) Thanks again.

Reviewer: Jerry L from Perth, WA  
We have completed our shore tours and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. All the tour guides were prompt and professional despite the delay we caused for the Mykonos meet up with the tour guides. Thank you for your assistance in planning and making our shore tours a successful one especially so during this economic crisis in Greece. I will definitely recommend your service to anyone that come by my way. Once again, thank you very much.
