We took the private tour with Yannis who was our driver and guide. The trip was amazing and Yannis explained a lot about the history and culture of Macedonia. He was very friendly, polite and safe driver. We really appreciated his knowledge and attention to detail. He was also flexible with the schedule during the day allowing us to decide how long we wanted to stay at each site. The sites and museums were remarkable especially the Museum of Royal Tombs at Aigai! This should be on everyone’s bucket list for places to see in Greece. We were so impressed. We highly recommend Transporter Tours. Big thanks to Yannis!
In the footsteps of two great figures.

My husband and I greatly appreciated the kindness and professionalism of Yannick. He took care of all the details of this tour and provided us with all the information to enjoy the visit to these splendid archaeological sites. The tombs of Vergina are worth the trip by themselves.
Excellent day tour, would do it again.

I've been to Greece a couple of times, but never had a private tour quite like this. We were a group of three friends and had a blast on a full day of visits to some of Greece's most iconic antiquities. Yanni, the host, was fun, social and very Greek! Make sure you ask him about food/drinks recommendations, he knows the area inside out.
Thessaloniki must-see

The route of Alexander the Great is definitely worth doing. John picked us up from Thessaloniki and drove us to Pella and Verghina. During the journey he gave us really interesting information about both sites and we also heard about local legends and stories. So when we arrived at the museums and the archeological sites, he gave us some space and time to visit the places on our own, which was really important because we had the luxury of experiencing the site by ourselves and all the information that we had heard about during the journey quickly fell into place. By the end of our visit we had formed quite a good understanding of the local history. John also gave us amazing tips about places to visit in Thessaloniki! Definitely worth it!
