    About the ride

    Your day will begin with a personal pickup by your English-speaking driver from your hotel or apartment in Thessaloniki. After a quick introduction, you will board your private ride and begin your journey to Macedonia and the historical city of Pella, the birthplace of Alexander the Great. 

    The quick 45 minute drive will take you through the picturesque Greek countryside, allowing you to enjoy the various landscapes before reaching your destination in the city of Pella. Throughout the journey, your driver will share with you his local knowledge and suggest photo stops at all the important landmarks seen along the way. However, as this tour is completely customizable, you may choose where and for how long you wish to stop at each place. 

    The first stop on your tour will be the fascinating city of Pella, the birthplace of Alexander the Great, and home to one of the most popular archeological sites in Greece. While in Pella’s archaeological site you are sure to be impressed by the stunningly beautiful Macedonian mosaic flooring that was used to decorate the city’s grand mansions and the old Macedonian Palace. The museum of Pella is located on the north-east side of the Archeological site, and this will be your next stop.

    Frequently asked questions
    Expand

    Will there be an official tour guide?

    An official tour guide is not included because the overall experience is centered around the driver and the local’s perspective. Although the drivers are very knowledgeable regarding the points of visit, at no point can they be compared with a licensed tour guide who can give more in depth information regarding historic facts and information. If you would like to include an official tour guide in the experience please let us know via email after the booking is completed.

    Do I need to be in a good physical shape?

    The drivers are trained to adapt the experience depending on the type of participants. Whether you have kids or elders participating, the drivers know exactly how to handle special requests and provide an enjoyable experience accordingly.

    Can I customize the tour based on my needs?

    Of course, that is one of the main benefits of having a Welcome experience. You can customize every last bit of the experience, from points of visit to time spent per landmark to adding in an extra food stop.

    What happens after I book?

    Once you complete your booking you will receive an email with more details about the Pella, Edessa and Vegina in a day tour, your Welcome driver, and any more information you need to know regarding this experience. Feel free to reach out to our customer service team at hello@welcomepickups.com for any specific questions regarding the experience.

    Useful tips
    Expand

    Dress Modestly for Religious Monuments

    When visiting religious monuments please dress modestly, or bring extra layers to cover up at that particular point of the tour.

    BE AWARE OF THE SUMMER HEAT

    In the summer months be sure to wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and perhaps a hat, to shield yourself from the sun. We also recommend staying hydrated throughout the tour with the water provided.

    LOCAL CURRENCY

    Bring cash in the form of local currency (Euros), as many of the local vendors don’t accept card payments.

    COMFORTABLE CLOTHES & SHOES

    We recommend that you wear comfortable clothing and good walking shoes since certain areas, may have uneven or rocky ground.

    ACCESIBILITY & SPECIAL NEEDS

    Please let us know if anyone in your group has special needs, or specific accessibility requirements, and we will be sure to accommodate your needs and tailor the tour accordingly.
