Pisa
Pisa, located in the Tuscan region of Italy, has more than 20 historic churches and several medieval palaces. This university town is renowned for its art and architectural treasures. Pisa has a lively street life and a vibrant cafe/bar scene. The famous Piazza dei Miracoli, or Miracles Square, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and contains the city’s most notorious sights. Its most famous, The Leaning Tower of Pisa, is a tilted bell tower that came to be as a result of poor construction. Today, tourists flock to the Leaning Tower for a glance at the unique structure. Feel free to climb the 300 steps to the top for a spectacular view of town. Another acclaimed monument is the Duomo Pisa, or the Pisa Cathedral. The medieval Roman Catholic cathedral, founded in 1064, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Pisa’s architectural gems. The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta in Pisa Romanesque style, is also a notable sight worth exploring. The remarkably ornate and rich history of the city make Pisa a must-see tourist destination.

Lucca
Lucca is a relatively flat city with roads open to everyone: cars, pedestrians, bicycles, and scooters alike. Although open, priority is given to pedestrians, making Lucca a walk-friendly city. Its impressive walls that surround the heart of the city are well maintained and fully intact. Despite the many years of calm that have rendered the Renaissance-era walls useless, it has now been repurposed. The entire circle is a pedestrian walkway surrounded by an outer lying stretch of green. The pedestrian promenade makes it ideal to see all of Lucca's major gems from above. Once you get back on solid ground, be sure to visit the Duomo di San Martino, the Basilica di San Frediano, and traces of the amphitheatre in Piazza dell'Anfiteatro.

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.

Excellent experience in traveling

We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable

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.

Know more about your day trip

Lucca stands out for its completely intact Renaissance city walls, which have been transformed into a 4.2-kilometer elevated park where locals and visitors stroll, jog, and cycle. During your 3-hour visit, explore the oval-shaped Piazza dell'Anfiteatro built within an ancient Roman amphitheater, climb the Guinigi Tower with its rooftop oak trees, and visit the striking zebra-striped San Michele Church. Unlike other Tuscan cities, Lucca remained independent for centuries, developing unique architectural styles and a distinct cultural identity still evident today.
This day trip allocates 3.5 hours for Pisa and 3 hours for Lucca, providing a balanced experience of both cities. In Pisa, focus on the Square of Miracles with its four monumental structures, including the famous Leaning Tower. In Lucca, prioritize walking a section of the walls, exploring the historic center with its towers and churches, and experiencing the city's relaxed atmosphere. Your driver will handle the approximately 30-minute journey between the cities, ensuring you maximize exploration time at both destinations.
The walls of Lucca offer a perfect elevated vantage point to appreciate both the historic center and surrounding landscapes. Rent a bicycle from vendors near the walls (approximately €3-5 per hour) to cover the full 4.2-kilometer circuit in about 40 minutes, or walk a section at a leisurely pace. The tree-lined promenade provides shade, benches, and panoramic views. Access the walls via ramps and stairs at various points around the city, with the sections near Porta San Pietro and Porta Santa Maria offering particularly good views.
Both cities offer memorable tower-climbing experiences. In Pisa, the 58-meter Leaning Tower provides unique tilted perspectives and panoramic views (reservation recommended). Lucca features several towers worth ascending, particularly the 45-meter Guinigi Tower crowned with oak trees growing from its rooftop garden, and the 50-meter Torre delle Ore (Clock Tower). Each climb involves 200+ steps but rewards with spectacular views. If you prefer to climb just one tower in each city, choose the Leaning Tower in Pisa and the Guinigi Tower in Lucca.
Pisa offers local specialties like cecina (chickpea pancake), pappa al pomodoro (bread and tomato soup), and seafood dishes reflecting its maritime history. Lucca's cuisine includes buccellato (sweet bread with raisins and aniseed), garmugia (spring vegetable soup), and tordelli lucchesi (meat-filled pasta with ragu). Both cities feature excellent gelato shops. For authentic experiences, avoid restaurants directly surrounding main attractions; your driver can recommend establishments frequented by locals where you'll find better quality and value.
Yes, and it's highly recommended. Leaning Tower tickets often sell out, especially during peak season (April-October). Purchase tickets online through the official Opera della Primaziale Pisana website, selecting a specific entry time. Children under 8 are not permitted to climb. If you prefer to decide on the day, your driver can advise on current availability, but be prepared for the possibility of lengthy waits or unavailability during busy periods. Consider purchasing a combined ticket that includes other monuments in the Square of Miracles.
Lucca offers excellent shopping opportunities, particularly for artisanal products. Via Fillungo, the main shopping street, features boutiques selling leather goods, clothing, and accessories. Look for local specialties like olive oil from the Lucca hills, buccellato (traditional sweet bread), and products made from neighbor Carrara's marble. The city is also known for its antique shops around Via del Battistero and unique boutiques within the Roman amphitheater. Unlike larger tourist centers, Lucca provides a more relaxed shopping experience with authentic local crafts.
