Stathis was amazing - It was a lovely experience. Stathis went out of his way to take care of my dad as he couldn’t bear the heat and was feeling too dizzy. He brought juices etc and kept the van cool for my dad while we all went out on the tour. The van was clean and super comfortable. Stathis was extremely knowledgeable and kind.

Great transfer option in Athens - Excellent service in Athens! Easy to use app with constant updates on the driver and cars. Extremely punctual drivers (always arrived before scheduled), very friendly and caring. Our flight arrived before the scheduled time and the driver followed and anticipated our withdrawal at the airport, in addition, was waiting with a plaque with my name at the exit, we felt super safe and supported. Comfortable cars and exactly as stated in the application. I recommend!!

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!

Unreliable and dishonest - On May 5th, I booked a private transfer for a client from the airport to their Athens hotel for their June 10th arrival. One hour before their scheduled arrival in Athens, I received an email from Welcome Pickups telling me the ride had been canceled. No other information was provided. I had to call them to find out what was going on. I was told it was due to the taxi driver strike happening that day. They said they dispatched a driver, but he could not get through. I believe this was a lie. I was able to book a different company for a private driver to pick my client up, and they got through and picked her up with no issues. The cost for the rebooked ride was 4x what the rate paid to Welcome Pickups was. If it was truly due to the strike, they could have canceled more than an hour before her evening arrival. I suspect they saw an opportunity to charge higher rates to other people who had no transport, so they canceled my lower-priced booking in favor of other higher priced bookings. If the replacement driver I hired could get through, their driver could have as well. I will never use them for personal travel or clients again.

Very poor experience - I booked Welcome in April for a transfer from Athens airport to my hotel. I received immediate confirmation and follow up emails until the day before our arrival on June 11. On arriving at the airport I received a message from Welcome that no driver was available so they cancelled. This was extremely inconvenient and disappointing. Won’t try to use them again due to their unreliability.
