Know more about your day trip

During your 3.5-hour visit to Orleans, prioritize the magnificent Gothic Sainte-Croix Cathedral with its five soaring spires, the Maison de Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc's reconstructed home), and Place du Martroi with its impressive equestrian statue of Joan of Arc. Don't miss the medieval streets of the old town, particularly Rue Jeanne d'Arc leading to the cathedral, and the riverfront along the Loire. The MOBE natural history museum and the Hotel Groslot with its Renaissance architecture are also worth visiting if time permits.

Chateau de Blois stands out for featuring four distinct architectural styles in one complex, representing different periods of French history. During your 3-hour visit, you'll see the Medieval fortress, Gothic Louis XII wing, Renaissance Francis I wing, and Classical Gaston d'Orleans wing. The chateau is famous for its extraordinary spiral staircase in the Francis I wing and the royal apartments where King Henry III had his rival the Duke of Guise assassinated in 1588. Interactive exhibits and digital tablets bring the castle's dramatic history to life.

Orleans is approximately 130 kilometers (81 miles) southwest of Paris, with a driving time of about 1.5 hours. Blois is an additional 60 kilometers (37 miles) beyond Orleans, adding roughly 1 hour to the journey. Your private Daytrip driver handles all transportation logistics, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenic drive through the Loire Valley countryside between destinations. The total round-trip driving time is approximately 5 hours.

Orleans' identity is deeply tied to Joan of Arc, who liberated the city from an English siege in 1429 during the Hundred Years' War. Your visit coincides with multiple Joan of Arc sites, including the cathedral she visited, her reconstructed house, and the Centre Jeanne d'Arc museum with interactive exhibits. If visiting during early May, you might witness the annual Joan of Arc Festival featuring medieval markets, parades, and historical reenactments commemorating the city's liberation.

In Orleans, sample local specialties including Cotignac d'Orleans (quince jelly sold in small wooden boxes), Orleans vinegar (the city was once France's vinegar capital), and Pithiviers (almond cream-filled pastry). Blois offers Loire Valley classics like rillettes (meat spread), goat cheese, and tarte Tatin (caramelized upside-down apple tart). Both cities produce excellent wines, with Orleans known for its white wines and Blois for its range of Touraine appellations. Local markets and bakeries offer quick authentic tastes.

Maximize your 3-hour Blois visit by starting at the chateau in the heart of the old town. After touring the castle, take the stone staircase (Escalier Denis Papin) down to the lower town for magnificent views. Explore the medieval streets around St. Nicholas Church, visit the House of Magic (Maison de la Magie) across from the chateau if time permits, and stroll along the Loire River banks. This circuit covers the major highlights while enjoying the atmosphere of this charming riverside city.

April through October offers the most pleasant conditions for exploring both cities, with late spring (May-June) and early fall (September) providing ideal temperatures and fewer tourists than summer months. Orleans hosts the Joan of Arc Festival in early May with medieval reenactments, while Blois features the Son et Lumiere (Sound and Light) show projected on the chateau's facade on summer evenings. Winter visits can be charming with Christmas markets though some attractions may have reduced hours.

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.

Daytrip never disappoints

We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.

Great driver in Egypt

Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.

Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico

Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.

Excellent service

We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.

Excellent service for transfers in Thailand

I was unsure about this company but a few good reviews on Trip Advisor made me take the chance. I am so happy that we did. We needed a ride from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. Our driver Saksun was an excellent driver - it's not a long distance to drive (by Texas standards!) but the road is challenging and there are a lot of places where improvements to the road are being made. It took around 3 hours with a stop at a place with very clean bathrooms, very interesting hot springs and a place to get a snack and cold drinks. Saksun had a vehicle that was fantastic for this type of drive - a very comfortable ride indeed and was obviously well maintained and very clean. I highly recommend this company. I used to post on trip advisor as "lakekariba" but got out of the habit of doing so. This company was so easy to use and the result was so enjoyable that I felt that the company Daytrip and the driver Saksun had earned our trust and a glowing review.

Excellent option to get to Vienna to Budapest!

We used Daytrip to travel between Budapest and Vienna with a 2 hour stop for lunch in Bratislava. Our driver Zsombor arrived on time at our hotel in Budapest and was very friendly and informative throughout our trip. His vehicle was roomy and clean and he was kind enough to provide us with some bottled water for the trip. Our quick visit stop in Bratislava was very nice as well. He gave us plenty of time to explore the city and have lunch before meeting him again when it was time to head for Vienna. Daytrip provided us with a happy and trouble free transfer between Budapest and Vienna. Many thanks to your team and especially to your driver Zsombor!

Great communication with an actual person! They will take you ANYWHERE, No pre-set routes to choose from!

Last minute plan change and Daytrip was our last resort so I chatted with them and had an immediate response from a real person, best situation ever. Never used Daytrip before but the reviews were incredible so we took the chance and booked a driver at like 11-12pm and by 7am the next morning when we woke, they found us a driver and the driver had already texed us making contact! Very impressed and will definitely use them again. We went from Dubrovnik, Croatia to Tivat, Montenegro.

Perfect Transport

Andreas did a great job picking us up from Pireaus Cruise Port and taking us to our rental in Spata. The three of us had been on a long cruise and had 9 pieces of luggage. He arrived in an appropriate vehicle and loaded and unloaded all of it. We are very happy with out decision to book with Daytrip.
