Great Time!

Lelia was by far the most accommodating tour guide we have ever experienced. Cabo de Inferno is the highlight of this tour offering great views. Though it was raining by the time we reached Cabo De Inferno it was a wonderful experience to watch the sea and the long waves hitting hard the cliff.

Tips

SUMMER ESSENTIALS

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

BRING YOUR CAMERA

Photography is permitted in most sites unless otherwise mentioned.

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.

Terms of Service

  • Please note that the Welcome Drivers are not licensed to be your official tour guide at the local attractions and therefore will not accompany you into the sites. You may, however, hire a professional tour guide at an extra cost.
  • Your Welcome Driver will provide you with their local knowledge and personal recommendations between stops. Since your safety is Welcome’s top priority, please refrain from distracting the driver during demanding driving conditions.
  • Your Welcome Driver will drop you off and pick you up as close as possible to your stop whilst always respecting local traffic laws.

How much does it cost?

The Welcome Difference

We are very confident that the experience offered is so much better than any other option out there. See few reasons why.

Welcome vs. Walking Tours

Explore the city’s main sites and landmarks in the comfort of an air-conditioned vehicle with wifi. Get places faster, easier and cooler rather than losing your bearings under the hot Greek sun - trust us, we know what we’re talking about.

Welcome vs. Private Tours

Unlike traditional tour operators, we leverage technology and innovation in order to ensure seamless communication, personalized content and frictionless payment. Don’t worry about waiting for an answer from James from “James a la Tours”, we’ll ping you in an instant.

Welcome vs. No Tours

Make the most of your time in a new location by keeping both travel time and hassle to a minimum. Allow an experienced and local travel team to organize your custom tour, so you can rather spend your energy on building lifelong memories to take home with you. Apps can be great, but did you really come all this way to waste time clicking around?

Welcome vs. Bus Tours

Avoid large queues and waiting times, and explore the city at your own pace - you are the decision maker here. Why follow a general itinerary when you can customize your own with Welcome.

Welcome vs. Hop-on Hop-off

Each tour is customized to your own interests - you decide when and where, and we take you there! There is no need to ‘follow the crowd’ when you can choose your own route. Our friendly Welcome Drivers offer you their local knowledge and personal recommendations - much better than a recorded audio guide, right?

FAQ

What happens after I book?

Once you complete your booking you will receive a confirmation email. Feel free to reach out to our customer service team at hello@welcomepickups.com for any specific questions regarding your booking.

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 focuses on the local’s perspective. The drivers are very knowledgeable regarding the points of the visit but they cannot be compared with a licensed tour guide who can give more in-depth information regarding historical facts and information. If you like to include an official tour guide in the experience, please, let us know via email after the booking is completed.

Are there any extra entrance fees to the Palace?

You can pre-book your tickets to the Pena & Park Palace here.

What is the cancellation policy?

Any cancelation that is requested up to 24 hours prior to the operation time is entitled to a refund of 80%  

In case of cancellation in less than 24 hours prior to the operation time or in case of no-show of the customer, you are not eligible for any form of refund.
