Great communication with an actual person! They will take you ANYWHERE, No pre-set routes to choose from!

Last minute plan change and Daytrip was our last resort so I chatted with them and had an immediate response from a real person, best situation ever. Never used Daytrip before but the reviews were incredible so we took the chance and booked a driver at like 11-12pm and by 7am the next morning when we woke, they found us a driver and the driver had already texed us making contact! Very impressed and will definitely use them again. We went from Dubrovnik, Croatia to Tivat, Montenegro.

Traveling Solo Through Costa Rica

I'm traveling in Costa Rica and was looking for transportation from Tamarindo to La Fortuna. I found mydaytrip.com and saw all of the positive reviews so I decided to take a chance. I'm so glad I did. My driver Danny was great. He showed me different sites along the way and even stopped so I could take pictures. As a solo traveler, he made sure I was comfortable and ensured I didn't need anything. Booking through mydaytrip.com actually cost less than trying to book with group transportation. I highly recommend Danny and mydaytrip.com for all of your travel needs in Costa Rica.
