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.”

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.”

Wonderful

“We booked a one - way trip from Passau, Germany to Prague, CR. Throughout the booking, Daytrip@daytrip.com was very communicate about our trip. When our ship arrived in Passau, we waited for our car and drive. Fifteen minutes before its arrival we realized that we had scheduled the wrong date. We telephoned Daytrip and explained our error. Daytrip arranged for another car and driver and within three hours, he had arrived. THAT is customer service. Our driver, Jici, was professional and provided us with all the comfort we expected. Thank you Daytrip.”

First class transfer

“This morning, 13th December 2017 we used Daytrip for our transfer from Vienna to Hallstatt. My chauffeur was Mr. Peter D. It took about 3 hours to get to Hallstatt. Mr. Peter D. arrived at our hotel in Vienna half an hour before our designated time. We knew it because He arrived right after we settled the hotel's bill. It was impressive because He's not letting the client to wait and even could depart early and the bonus was we could arrive early at Hallstatt. The transfer run smoothly and what we're really amazed was how he accompanied us until our hotel in Hallstatt which located in the center of the city, that made him to wait for our shuttle bus to depart, accompanied us until infront of the receptionist and took care of our luggage. He even paid for our shuttle bus. He's really a great and friendly chauffeur. He was trully an asset for the company. We felt like having a first class transfer. Oooo...last but not least...the car was so clean, nice, comfy and during our trip...the background music was baroque...our favorite. Overall...it was perfect in my opinion. Because actually I felt a little bit worry using a car for our transfer.”

Private transfer Vienna to Hallstatt with Milo

“This is a fantastic company!! Milo was great! He was fun, informative, flexible and a real joy to be around. We didn't feel like hassling with the trains after a looooong transatlantic flight, plus we wanted to stop for some sightseeing in between destinations without lugging luggage around, so we called Daytrip! I wish there was a Daytrip in every location I travel. I would use them EVERYWHERE! Very happy customers!”
