In 2015, our founders identified a critical gap in the travel experience: the moment between landing at a new destination and truly settling in was often filled with stress, uncertainty, and fragmented services. Travelers wanted more than just a ride from point A to point B - they needed a local guide, a friendly face, and someone who could transform the chaos of arrival into the beginning of an unforgettable journey. So they built Welcome Pickups - a company that would redefine how people experience destinations from their first step off the plane until their final departure home.
What started as an Athens-based startup has evolved into a global leader in in-destination travel services, proudly welcoming over 2.5 million travelers annually across more than 300 destinations worldwide. We're not just another transfer service. We're your friend on the ground, offering personalized airport and port transfers with trained English-speaking drivers who serve as local ambassadors. Our drivers don't just transport you - they greet you at arrivals, monitor your flight, share insider recommendations, and ensure you feel at home wherever you are in the world. Beyond transfers, we offer tailored sightseeing rides, pre-ordered travel essentials, and partnership solutions for hotels, vacation rentals, and travel agencies. With a 4.9/5 star rating across major review platforms, we've proven that the arrival experience can be seamless, stress-free, and genuinely welcoming.
