    About the ride

    Your Welcomer will serve as your local guide who will share the historical facts, the necessary information about the sights and, of course, his personal input in order to immerse you into the Athenian lifestyle. The sightseeing ride is totally private and personalised, meaning that, together with your driver, you can choose which of the suggested stops you wish to make and the time to allocate to each one. There is always a suggested itinerary to follow but you are free to customise it according to your preferences.

    The Sightseeing Ride can include many interesting stops visitors always enjoy. Firstly, the famous 1Acropolis Hill & Museum where you can admire the elegant temple of the Parthenon and after that, the modern Acropolis Museum that houses impressive statues and artifacts of the ancient Greek civilisation.

    Another idea would be to stroll along Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, a pedestrianized street adjacent to the south slope of the Acropolis where you can also admire the ancient Theatre of Dionysus and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. Walking a bit further down, you will have the chance to explore 2Plaka - Monastiraki, quaint areas developed around the ancient Agora, where you can find all kinds of small shops. The heart of the city beats around the 3Constitution Square, in Greek Syntagma, the meeting point for both tourists and locals. If you are lucky, you may witness the 4Change of Guards ceremony. Your tour will not be complete unless you visit 6Panathenaic Stadium or Kallimarmaro as Greeks call it.

    After exploring downtown Athens, your driver will escort you to the most spectacular viewing point of the 7Lycabettus Hill, the highest hilltop of modern Athens. Surrounded by pine trees and with a breathtaking panoramic view of the city that stretches all the way to the Port of Piraeus, it is the perfect spot for taking some fantastic photos and enjoying the scenery for a few moments. 

    Before the end of your Sightseeing ride in Athens, you can visit the impressive 9Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre or the cosmopolitan Athenian Riviera.

    When your tour comes to an end, your friendly Welcome Driver will drop you off at your accommodation.

    A great option for us. The schedule was very flexible, and our driver proposed a hidden Greek restaurant in the heart of Athens, where we ate one of our most delicious foods. Thanks a lot Mr. Nasos for your help and your kindness

    We had a full day tour with Pavlos in August. He arrived on time to pick us up, was courteous, knowledgeable, fun, and efficient. Every minute of our 8 hour private tour was packed with information about Greece and it's people. Even our lunch at a local restaurant included meeting the owner and tasting several of Greek specialties.

    Everything was perfect. Online booking, support and the wonderful guide John, who made this terrific tour the highlight of my visit in Greece. I only regret not having had more time to spent in this wonderful country. When I come back, I will for sure book another tour with Welcome Pickups.

    Frequently asked questions
    Expand

    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.

     

    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. The most physically demanding site would be climbing the Acropolis, so make sure you bring plenty of water with you on the way up!

     

    What happens after I book?

    Once you complete your booking you will receive an email with more details about the Best of Athens 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 [email protected] for any specific questions regarding the experience.

     

    Can i book my pickup from anywhere?

    Hey there! Just a quick note: our transfer pickups are set within the city (usually from a Hotel or residential address) to make your journey smoother. But no sweat! If you're arriving at an airport or port, you can book a transfer to the city center and share your transfer number with our support team so that we can combine the two, and we'll ensure a seamless transition to your destination so that you can start a great sightseeing ride. Let's make your travel experience a breeze!

    Useful tips

    Accessibility & Special Needs

    Should anyone in your group have special needs or have advanced accessibility requirements, please specify upon booking and we will make sure to accommodate your needs and customize your tour accordingly.

    Local Currency

    We recommend you always keep local currency on you (euro) as many local merchants do not accept cards as payment.

    Comfortable Clothes & Shoes

    We recommend that you wear comfortable clothing and good walking shoes since certain areas, such as the walk up the Acropolis Hill, may have uneven or rocky ground.

    Summer Essentials

    In the summer months, the Greek sun is especially strong (even on cloudy days) so we recommend that you wear a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Also, be sure to drink enough water throughout the day to stay hydrated.
