Unforgettable tour and sightseeing in Athens

Published on Sep, 2024

We were very fortunate to have Manos as our driver and tour guide for 4 hours of sightseeing on our last day in Athens. He was very knowledgeable and personable and especially agreeable to our requests. His suggestions all turned out to be perfect and we greatly enjoyed everything, from the National Library and Cultural Center, to the Flisvos marina, Temple of Poseidon, and delicious seaside lunch. We highly recommend Welcome Pickups- and particularly Manos-to enhance your Athens experience!

Incredible way to see Athens in a short time

Published on Aug, 2024

Our driver was excellent & made sure we saw everything on our list & so much more. He made sure we did not feel rushed when we would be dropped off to visit a site. He also helped by giving us recommendations on where to eat during our stay in Athens.

Excellent experience and unforgettable day

We had a great half-day tour to Poseidon Temple near Athens. Driver Ilias Kanteres very polite and with a lot of knowledge regarding Greek ancient culture was a very pleasant host. He drove us to the best places and finally to a very good fish restaurant clode to the see. It was an unforgettable day and I recommend to all the persons who want to try this nice experience.

Sightseeing in Athens with our driver Ilias Kanteres

Published on Nov, 2019

We had a wonderful day that we spent with our driver, Ilias Kanteres, as he has shown us some spectecular spots around Athens like Marathon and Piraeus. He was a nice company to have especially because he was so caring and respectful. The tour he planned was just perfect for us. He even gave us special tips concerning food and restaurants. I would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Athens.

Brilliant tour if you have limited time

Published on Nov, 2019

Our guide John was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. My mother has limited mobility and John took her for a coffee while my son and I climbed the Acropolis. He was happy to answer all our questions about the economy, education, politics and general living in Greece. John has great knowledge of the city and back streets which allowed him to navigate around backs street to avoid congestion caused by the protest. I highly recommend this tour. Thanks John!
