Daytrip is a private car service platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
Daytrip offers private door-to-door transfers with optional sightseeing stops, hourly driver hire, and curated day trips — all with local English-speaking drivers and operating across 130+ countries.
For private trips, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure.

Yes! Book a private, door-to-door airport transfer with a local English-speaking driver. Enjoy fixed and transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and the option to pay in advance without the hassle of exchanging cash at a foreign airport.
You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.

Cervães sits in the rural heartland of northern Portugal's Minho region, roughly 60 km (37 miles) north of Porto and around 20 km (12 miles) southwest of Braga. Public transport connections to this small parish are limited, which makes private transfer the most practical option for travelers who want door-to-door service without navigating rural bus schedules or arranging a rental car. A Daytrip driver picks you up from your starting point and delivers you directly to your destination, with no transfers, no timetables, and no guesswork.
Cervães is approximately 30 km (19 miles) from Guimarães, making it a straightforward journey by private transfer. A day trip is entirely realistic, whether you are coming from Guimarães itself or using it as a midpoint on a longer route through Braga district. Because Daytrip operates on your schedule rather than a fixed group tour timetable, you control how long you spend at your destination before your driver returns you to your starting point or continues to your next stop.
For families or small groups, private transfer compares favorably to alternatives on almost every dimension. There is no coordinating around train stations, no luggage limits, no waiting on platforms, and no splitting up to fit available seats. Everyone travels together in a single comfortable vehicle, with the flexibility to make stops or adjust the pace of the day. For travelers arriving from Porto with children or significant luggage, the door-to-door nature of the service removes the friction that public transport into rural northern Portugal would otherwise create.
The corridor between Porto and the rural Minho interior passes close to several points of genuine historical and natural interest. Depending on your route, potential stops include the medieval centre of Guimarães, the religious sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte near Braga, riverside towns along the Ave and Cávado river valleys, and traditional market villages that see few international visitors. Your Daytrip driver is a local professional who can offer context on what you are passing through, adding texture to the journey that a self-drive or bus ride simply cannot replicate.
The route through the Minho countryside reveals a side of Portugal that most visitors miss entirely. Rolling hills, terraced vineyards producing the region's famous Vinho Verde, granite farmhouses, and river valleys define the landscape between the larger cities and the quieter rural parishes like Cervães. Rather than arriving by the fastest route, a Daytrip transfer lets you request optional stops along the way, turning transit time into sightseeing time through one of Iberia's most scenically underrated regions.
Cervães is a parish within the municipality of Vila Verde, a largely agricultural area in Braga district that preserves the textures of traditional Minho life. The surrounding landscape is characterized by small-scale farming, granite architecture, and the kind of unhurried village rhythms increasingly rare in more visited parts of Portugal. Travelers who appreciate authenticity over tourist infrastructure tend to find this corner of northern Portugal rewarding precisely because it has not been shaped around visitor expectations. Arriving by private transfer rather than a tour bus reinforces that sense of discovery.

So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
