We loved this experience, a day well spend! Stefanos was warm and knowledgeable, sharing cool facts on history and local culture as we explored the city's landmarks together. We also got the chance to try traditional foods from his favorite local bakery, best spanakopita I've ever tasted !!
We landed early morning in Athens and our driver proposed we take this ride before checking in to our hotel. Even though I'm not "buying" everything I see, this was one of my best and the most value for money choices. I didn't have to worry about our luggage, where to stand, where to eat before arriving at our hotel. We saw many interesting things along the city, laughed, and ate one of the most delicious sandwiches recommended by Ilias our driver. In a few words, time and money well spent! Thanks a lot
Giannis was a very polite and careful driver: I really liked the fact that he was friendly, giving advice and info but at the same time not too long-winded like others. He really let my family and I enjoy the ride and the trip
My sister and I did the half day Athens tour on our final day in the morning. Dimitri was friendly and very informative. The tour was great. I think we managed to see a lot of Athens in 4 hours and would highly recommend that everyone do this tour. I will definitely be doing another tour with Welcome Pickups when I go back to Greece. Most incredibly this tour ends at a gastronomy center and we tasted and learned about many great greek products the best finish we could have!
