Flexible and reliable way to get from city to city

“We took a Daytrip driver from Tirana in Albania to Kotor in Montenegro when the bus options looked too long and uncomfortable, and the flight choices would have taken us half back across Europe and back again! Daytrip booked and confirmed our trip in 30 minutes and sent the details of the driver including a photo. Elton was reliable, safe and efficient. His English was great and he was a fantastic travel companion. We went to three sites in the way suggested on the Daytrip site, and couldn’t have been happier with way our day turned out. We had a fantastic road trip in a beautiful country, with a great guy! Highly recommend Daytrip as a solution to travel dilemmas.”

A very good choice

“We loved the trip from Tirana to Kotor. Stefan the driver is very polite and nice, and he really had knowledge about history, geographi and culture. He showed us places that we surely would not find by our selves. A great guide! I am sure we will return to you next time we are in need for transportation.”

Transfer from Tirana to Kotor

“Our experience with Daytrip was excellent! I can't say enough good things. We booked a transfer from Tirana, Albania to Kotor, Montenegro and it was worth every penny, especially with the only alternative in that part of Europe being the bus. Our driver, Stefan, was prompt, helpful, and so friendly - gave a lot of interesting information about his home country, but also took all the right cues when we needed to rest a bit. Such a pleasant & efficient experience from the very start. Not only was our experience riding with Stefan great, but the customer service I received during & after booking was impeccable.”
