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.

Porto to Coimbra Portugal

First time I have used Daytrip and we used the service twice in Portgual and both were such amazing trips that I will review them separately. See my other review. I was looking for a way to travel from Porto to Coimbra without hiring a car ourselves. It is so much of a hassle and there are huge one way hire fees in Portugal. I wanted to see a couple of places along the way and there was no way catching the train hauling our luggage along with us could we have managed it. So using the Google search engine I found Daytrip. The ease of booking, the extensions that we could add to our trip including choosing the time to be spent in each location, the prompt and continued communication from Daytrip was absolutely excellent. Igor A arrived in the morning to pick us up from our apartment in Porto. He was friendly, polite, had checked and was early to pick us up. He welcomed us with a welcome pack of goodies and provided water and sweets for the journey. He was knowledgeable about the areas we were visiting and he was able to guide us in the right direction for food, souvenirs and experiences. We had a wonderful day with Igor and felt like we were with a friend not a person we had never met before. I would highly recommend the services of Daytrip. At first you may think it is expensive. But weigh up the cost of carrying around your luggage, driving on unfamiliar roads, tolls, car hire fees, stress of trying to find your way around, when you can sit back and relax and enjoy the scenery.
