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!
Michail really went out of his way to ensure that I see what was important. Showed us the best neighborhoods in Athens and also took us to the most traditional place to eat some greek food! Really appreciate his generosity and his behavior when my mother felt and he immediately offered to find a hospital for us. He even stayed 2 hours extra with us and dropped us off to our hotel later. The next day he messaged me to check my mother's health. Absolutely phenomenal behavior!!!! Could not recommend this more!
He was friendly, very knowledgeable, a great driver and flexible to work with our schedule. He was one of the highlights of our trip - and considering that everything about our trip was great, that says a lot! Honestly, we have talked about that and could not come up with anything that could have made it better. Even the weather was perfect.
