Welcome Sightseeing Rides are long private rides inside or outside the city for sightseeing purposes operated by professional English-Speaking Local drivers.

Welcome offers two types of Sightseeing Rides:

  • City Highlights = Long private rides in a city to see main landmarks and points of interest only locals know. City Highlights last between 1 to 8 hours.

  • Day Trips = Long private rides outside a city to visit a landmark or series of landmarks in nearby towns. Day Trips last between 4 to 12 (or more) hours.

At the time of your choice, your professional local driver will pick you up from your accommodation in a private vehicle ready to share historical facts, the necessary information about the sights and, of course, his personal local input.

Welcome Tours are completely private and customisable. Together with your driver / local guide, you can select the points of visit and the time you want to allocate at each stop. There is always a suggested itinerary to follow but you are free to edit the route according to your preferences. You can visit all the places on the list or pick only the ones you like. Just inform your driver about your choice before the ride.

Each Welcome vehicle is equipped with wifi, air conditioning, water, to ensure an enjoyable ride between each stop throughout the day.

At the end of the tour, your personal driver will drop you off at your hotel.

Welcome in-city Sightseeing Rides & Day Trips are operated by English Speaking Local drivers.

On the day of the tour, an English-speaking Welcome Driver will pick you up from your accommodation and take you to all your planned stops in a spacious and comfortable sedan or minivan.

You can select the points of visit and the time you want to allocate in each stop. There is always a suggested itinerary to follow but you are free to edit the route according to your preferences. You can visit all the places on the list or pick only the ones you like.

During the stops you can do whatever you want: visit the landmarks, take pictures, ask your driver about the place.

Your friendly driver will not only share historical facts about the areas visited but also local insights that will help you get the feeling of the city’s and country’s lifestyle.

He can always recommend you a nice place to taste some traditional food and show you around his city away from tourist traps.
