Great tour! Ilias was an awesome driver. He was very friendly and accommodating. By Greek law he is not allowed to guide on-site, but when asked he made arrangements for a professional guide (who was awesome as well) to guide at one of the sites. He took us to a great restaurant for a late lunch after the last site. Wonderful trip and driver!
Ilias was fantastic. A very smooth driver, he is jovial and fun. He is very knowledgeable without overwhelming us with information. We travel in Europe often and always use local guides. He is one of the best. If you are in Athens,please request Ilias Kanteres at Welcome Pickups. You won’t be disappointed .
Punctual and nice to be with his company. Make the travel easy with his care. High recommend him when you have plan to book welcome pick up. Look for Ilias Kanteres
We had a wonderful private day trip to Delphi with our family. Our driver was friendly and very knowledgeable, sharing stories that brought the journey to life. It was such a pleasure to explore at our own pace and enjoy the sights without feeling rushed. A truly memorable and relaxing experience — highly recommended!.
We had so much fun with scenery and ruins. Our guide Glykeria gave us the best information and stories. I would choose her as our guide every time.
driver met us with sign at airport and at ferry on our return. drivers spoke English, the cars were new and clean, drivers answered our many questions and pointed out sights.
Driver was on time and very polite. He gave us information while driving us to the hotel and helped deliver our bags at the hotel

Beautiful scenery surrounding the archaeological site. Everything went exactly as planned. Driver was extremely flexible and informative. Wish we had more time to take a number of additional tours with him.
Giorgos was amazing. We had a wonderful trip to Delphi with him. We also stopped at St Lukas' Monastery on the way home which was also incredibly special. Giorgos was incredibly patient, knowledgeable and also really fun. We had such a great day and could not recommend Giorgos more highly.
