    Our guide was most knowledgeable and thoughtful. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and whole experience, her talks in the museums and on the sites themselves were full of information given in such a way that we gained much knowledge. She was so enthusiastic and justifiably proud of her Country. A credit to the company. Lyn and John

    Sites de Pella et Vergina : une belle surprise
    Thierry_A
    , Nov 2021
    Le processus de réservation et la prise de contact téléphoniques, une fois sur place, ont été simples et professionnels. Le Jour J, nous avons eu la surprise de rencontrer une guide francophone (et non anglophone, comme prévu) envoyé par l'opérateur Keytours. Cette guide a été remarquable, à la fois par son sens de l'écoute, sa pédagogie et sa culture de la Grèce antique (et moderne). A recommander.
