Terrible experience

Mark_A, Aug 2025

This was a terrible experience and absolutely nothing like the description. Our driver gave us no information and literally just dropped us off and said we should wander around for as long as we wanted. We didn’t know what we were supposed to see or for how long. We only did two stops so didn’t cover everything on the programme and then were told at the end that it was shame there wasn’t time to do better sites. If we’d have known this we could have spent much less time at the ones we went to. We spent most of the evening walking around aimlessly and could have done this much simpler by booking a taxi and guiding ourselves or doing a walking tour. This was an absolute waste of money and an awful experience. Wouldn’t recommend at all.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hi Mark, we are sorry to hear about what happened. Definitely, this is not the kind of experience we would want you to experience with Welcome. We would like to further investigate this for you. Please reach out to us at hello@welcomepickups.com with your booking details so we can review this for you. Thank you for your time and for bringing this to our attention.
