Exploring Macedonia Traveller Reviews

A 12-day visit to the Macedonian region of North Greece to see the sites connected with Alexander the Great and his father, Phillip II. The tour was quite intensive because of the distances between sites, but travel was by comfortable coach. Hotels ranged from simple but comfortable in the more distant towns to first class elsewhere. The food, planned and arranged by our local (and learned ) guide, was outstanding. The sites were very well presented by our guides, and often had first-class museums attached so we were able to gain a very good insight into the Macedonian civilisation of the 4th century BC. Our fellow travellers were experienced and interested Peter Sommer clients and we quickly developed a warm group atmosphere. The visit to the amazing treasures of Philip II's tomb was one of the most memorable experiences of the ancient world one could have anywhere.

We have always found Peter Sommer Travel to be to be very efficient with a personal touch, and their guides in Greece are qualified international archeologists with experience of research in many of the sites, so they can speak from knowledge. They also pay great attention to the travel details, the accommodation and food.

We toured Northern Greece looking at sites and visiting museums linked to Alexander but not exclusively 400-300BC. We had excellent archaeological specialists guiding us and much thought had gone into both the technical content of the tour and the domestic arrangement - our hotels were very comfortable and menus were thoughtfully put together and well designed.

Peter Sommer is not a budget tour operator but the thought and care which goes into their itineraries make them good value for money

We experienced so many aspects of this fascinating region of Northern Greece. The trip was varied, well paced and brilliantly organised

It's the third time we've been with Peter Sommer, which says everything about their efficiency, friendliness and organisational skills

A tour of Macedonia, to follow in the footsteps of Alexander the Great, far surpassed any expectations that we had. Arranged by Peter Somer we were in the hands of professionals who knew where to go, what to see and what to eat and drink.

Top, top, top for every facet of the tour.
