Wonderful experience and introduction to Mexico City. Our guide Diego was on time, very friendly and helpful. Much recommended.
This was our first time using Welcome Pickups and it will be the last. We knew we were paying more than for a regular taxi on arrival but we made that choice because we wanted a more convenient and comfortable experience after a 12+ hours flight. What was advertised was an English speaking driver waiting for us in the arrival Hall, a comfortable car and a driver giving us destination tips. The booking experience was fairly easy online, I prepaid and I was assigned a driver rapidly. But just a few hours before my departure flight I started getting notifications that our assigned driver was changed. Within about 20 minutes, I got 2 more changes of driver without any other explanations. That shook our confidence in the service but we tried to stay positive. There was no driver waiting for us in the Arrival Hall. As the free WiFi at the airport was very spotty, I had to purchase a Sim card at the airport to be able to communicate with the driver. That added a lot of delay. Once we connected, he was texting me in Spanish not in English which added more delay and confusion as I had to first copy and paste in Google translate. He was apparently parked nearby waiting for us to tell him we were ready. Once we finally connected at the curb and verified that he was our assigned driver, he barely spoke English and he was not even prepared with the address of our hotel. He got a few calls and spoke on the phone most of the ride. He did offer water. He seemed like a nice guy. But this is not at all what we expected from a prepaid service that cost almost twice as much as a normal taxi. Our arrival would have been much faster, smoother and cheaper if we would have used an airport taxi on arrival. We thought we would make our arrival after a very long flight easier by planning and paying more money in advance. Unfortunately, that was not the case. We will never use Welcome Pickups again.
