Tolle Kommunikation mit einer echten Person! Sie bringen dich ÜBERALL hin, ohne vorgegebene Routen zur Auswahl.

“Eine Planänderung in letzter Minute und Daytrip war unsere letzte Option, also schrieb ich ihnen und erhielt sofort eine Antwort von einer echten Person – beste Situation überhaupt. Wir hatten Daytrip noch nie zuvor genutzt, aber die Bewertungen waren unglaublich, also haben wir es gewagt und gegen 23-24 Uhr einen Fahrer gebucht. Als wir am nächsten Morgen um 7 Uhr aufwachten, hatten sie bereits einen Fahrer für uns gefunden, und der Fahrer hatte uns bereits per SMS kontaktiert! Sehr beeindruckt, und wir werden sie auf jeden Fall wieder nutzen. Wir sind von Dubrovnik, Kroatien, nach Tivat, Montenegro, gefahren.”

Perfekter Transport

“Andreas hat großartige Arbeit geleistet, uns vom Kreuzfahrthafen Piräus abzuholen und zu unserer Unterkunft in Spata zu bringen. Die drei von uns hatten eine lange Kreuzfahrt hinter sich und 9 Gepäckstücke dabei. Er kam mit einem passenden Fahrzeug und hat alles be- und entladen. Wir sind sehr glücklich mit unserer Entscheidung, mit Daytrip zu buchen.”

Excellent alternative to trains and flights

“We experienced an excellent trip, from our hotel in Geneva to our hotel in Paris. I do suggest yoy include a stop off (additional cost), as that was the real highlight. Wonderful to not be in queues and crowds, or have to check in heavy luggage. Our driver was Mr Jeffrey Barthelot, from TRANSPORT-BARTHELOT, well worth requesting him. Enjoy!”
