Excellent service for transfers in Thailand

I was unsure about this company but a few good reviews on Trip Advisor made me take the chance. I am so happy that we did. We needed a ride from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. Our driver Saksun was an excellent driver - it's not a long distance to drive (by Texas standards!) but the road is challenging and there are a lot of places where improvements to the road are being made. It took around 3 hours with a stop at a place with very clean bathrooms, very interesting hot springs and a place to get a snack and cold drinks. Saksun had a vehicle that was fantastic for this type of drive - a very comfortable ride indeed and was obviously well maintained and very clean. I highly recommend this company. I used to post on trip advisor as "lakekariba" but got out of the habit of doing so. This company was so easy to use and the result was so enjoyable that I felt that the company Daytrip and the driver Saksun had earned our trust and a glowing review.

Excellent option to get to Vienna to Budapest!

We used Daytrip to travel between Budapest and Vienna with a 2 hour stop for lunch in Bratislava. Our driver Zsombor arrived on time at our hotel in Budapest and was very friendly and informative throughout our trip. His vehicle was roomy and clean and he was kind enough to provide us with some bottled water for the trip. Our quick visit stop in Bratislava was very nice as well. He gave us plenty of time to explore the city and have lunch before meeting him again when it was time to head for Vienna. Daytrip provided us with a happy and trouble free transfer between Budapest and Vienna. Many thanks to your team and especially to your driver Zsombor!

Budapest to Plitvice National Park (Coratia)

My wife and I stayed in Budapest and were originally going to take a bus to Plitvice, but the company had poor communication. We submitted our trip request the evening before we had to leave and heard back within 1 hour. Agnesa was our driver and we were very relieved to have a reliable transfer. Our trip with Agnesa was great! She was on time and was very nice. Her car was comfortable and she drove very well and safely. We had good conversation, which made the trip go by fast. We definitely appreciate her time in getting us to our destination safely and we highly recommend her going forward!

Ondaytrip Budapest to Plitvice Lakes in Croatia

We used the Ondaytrip services from Budapest to Plitvice Lakes in Croatia. We can't speak highly enough of this company and most particularly their great driver Georg. He picked us up from our accommodation right on time and drove us for the next nearly 11 hours to Plitvice lakes with great care and professionalism. He thorough knowledge of the area together with the history is remarkable. Any questions he had he was able to answer with confidence and humour. He took us to various places of interest along the way, making the trip very interesting. His english was excellent. He is a lovely, kind young man who ensured our comfort at all times and delivered us happily to the door of our accommodation in Plitvice Lakes. This is a young company and both my husband and I would recommend them 100%.
