Ascend to this spectacular monastery perched on dramatic serrated mountain peaks where Benedictine monks have maintained spiritual traditions for over 1,000 years. Visit the basilica housing the Black Madonna (La Moreneta), Catalonia's patron saint, where pilgrims from around the world seek blessings and spiritual renewal. Listen to the famous Escolania boys' choir, one of Europe's oldest, performing Gregorian chant and traditional Catalan songs in the basilica's ethereal acoustics. Explore the monastery museum displaying religious art, archaeological artifacts, and contemporary works while learning about Benedictine monastic life and Catalan spiritual traditions. Take the funicular railway to higher mountain peaks offering panoramic views across Catalonia to the Pyrenees and Mediterranean, with hiking trails through unique rock formations and mountain flora. Traditional mountain restaurants serve hearty Catalan cuisine including grilled meats, mountain cheese, and regional wines while shops sell traditional crafts, religious items, and local honey produced by monastery bees. The mountain's mystical atmosphere intensifies during sunset when dramatic lighting transforms ancient stones and monastery bells echo across valleys below.

Discover this beautifully preserved medieval market town where traditional Catalan culture flourishes around one of Spain's most authentic weekly markets and impressive Gothic architecture.

Wander through the atmospheric old quarter's narrow medieval streets lined with traditional shops, artisan workshops, and family-run restaurants serving authentic Catalan mountain cuisine. Experience the famous Saturday market, one of Catalonia's largest and most traditional, where local farmers sell organic produce, artisanal cheeses, traditional sausages, and handmade crafts reflecting centuries of rural Catalan traditions. Visit traditional workshops where craftsmen create leather goods, wooden furniture, and textiles using techniques passed down through generations. Local restaurants serve regional specialties including escudella soup, traditional stews, and mountain trout while traditional pastry shops offer coca bread, traditional sweets, and regional pastries.

Great transfer option.

I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.

Great transfer option.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.

It was a fantastic trip.

Best transport company anywhere

We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.

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
