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.

Perfect Transport

Andreas did a great job picking us up from Pireaus Cruise Port and taking us to our rental in Spata. The three of us had been on a long cruise and had 9 pieces of luggage. He arrived in an appropriate vehicle and loaded and unloaded all of it. We are very happy with out decision to book with Daytrip.

Daytrip Budapest to Bucharest

We reviewed options related to travel from Budapest to Sibiu, Romania and decided to choose MYDayTrip.com. The day trip allowed us to break up the trip and visit sights along the way which we would not have done if we traveled by train or plane. Our driver, Razvan, met us on time at our hotel in Budapest at 8:30 AM. The vehicle was a comfortable VW touring van which had plenty of room for the two of us and our luggage. Razvan is a very competent driver and he negotiated the trip with ease. He also explained a lot about life in Romania which gave us a great primer for our visit. We crossed the Hungarian border and Razvan handled all of our entry into Romania with the border officials. Our first stop was in Timisoara. Timisoara is a very interesting place to visit and will be even more interesting soon as it was chosen as the European Capital of Culture for 2021. There is a lot of renovation ongoing to get ready for 2021. We had lunch at Jack's Bistro a quaint restaurant with an outdoor patio just off of the main city square. Our second stop was the Fortress of Deva, a 13th century fortification which was a dead ringer for one of the castles in the Lord of Rings movie. Admission was very inexpensive and included a funicular ride to the top of the hill where the Fortress provides a spectacular view of the surrounding countryside. We arrived at our hotel Golden Tulip Ana in Sibiu at 6:30 PM. The trip was so much more enjoyable than previous parts of our European journey. It allowed us to avoid late arriving Czech trains with no air conditioning or waiting in airports for delayed departures. Time is definitely worth something and the cost of Mydaytrip.com travel is very competitive. Every part of our journey from Budapest to Sibiu happened on schedule. Having a personable driver who knows the languages and the roads makes everything work very comfortable. I plan to book more trips with Mydaytrip.com and highly recommend the service to couples or families who want a customized journey to Europe without the hassle of other transportation methods. Thanks Razvan for a great trip.
