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.

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%.
