Black Woman Review - Hey y'all hey! 8 of us travelled to Greece to celebrate my sisters 30th birthday (February 2025). We originally scheduled 1 airport pick up with Welcome Pickups. I wanted to make sure things went smoothly before scheduling any more trips. We ended up using them throughout our entire week long stay in Greece. We also requested the same driver, Kostas, to pick us up and drop us off all over the Athens area. He even arranged to get us luxury transportation on the night of my sisters birthday dinner so that we could show up in style. Kostas provided us with an unofficial tour as we drove past popular tourist sites. He recommended good places to dine, was quite knowledgeable, always on time and professional. I highly recommend this transportation company.

Easy transfer option for piece of mind - We used Welcome Pickups to transfer us from Athens airport to our hotel & back to the airport a few days later after reading that taxi drivers are often unreliable & may overcharge. Though we had different driver for each ride, they both had nice, clean, air-conditioned vehicles, offered bottled water & gave great advice in things to see. I read several suggestions about Welcome Pickups on Facebook and they were right. Highly Recommend!

Reliable and comfortable taxi service - We used Welcome Pickups four times in Greece, twice in Athens for airport pick up and drop off from our hotel and then one-way from Athens to Nafplio and a couple of days later from Nafplio back to Athens. We dealt with different drivers during these trips. Each time the drivers were very pleasant and communicated well in English. They were reachable through Whatsapp, which made it easy to coordinate. They all drive very well and it gave me a lot of peace of mind not to worry about transport in Greece. Will highly recommend their service.

Great experience - Our driver was on time even though our flight was early! He monitored our flight and knew when we would arrive. The driver spoke clear English, was very personable, and had a lot of good advice for things to see/do in Athens!

highly recommend! - I used Welcome Pickups for several transfers in Athens. All of them were perfectly organized: all the information about the car and the driver was sent to me ahead of time, the car was always waiting for me (in one case, the flight arrived earlier than the scheduled time, but the driver was already there), the driver was always polite, drinking water was provided, and the price was very reasonable.

Stress free transfer - Great introduction to Athens, excellent English with good knowledge of Athens and its surrounds. The driver arrived on time and waited patiently while our departure from the airport was lengthy due to many planes arriving at the same time. He was in constant communication with us which was comforting to know that our transfer to our accommodation would proceed smoothly. We would recommend Welcome Pickups for all transfer options.

Good and bad - The pick up from airport was seamless. Driver and vehicle all good. We booked a return trip and had our trip canceled about 9 hours before needing to head for airport. We needed 3 am transfer for early flight there was a 24 hour taxi strike that our trip was during. I understand taxi strike canceling our return trip but our hotel knew about this 2 days in advance. What took welcome pickups so long to cancel us? We spent hours trying to find alternative transport at the last minute. Once we finally found a driver it was nearly 1am so showered and packed up and left. I did email welcome pickups and got a pretty standard response. “Sorry for the inconvenience it was outside our responsibility” notifying us in a timely manner is outside their responsibility? (2days earlier would have made all the difference) so overall good and bad.
