Good value, professional, reliable company
“Did two itineraries: 8 night Best of Romania and 4 night Taste of Bulgaria. Vlad was very accommodating in adjusting itineraries and accommodation to our wishes. Driver/guides (Gelu and Marina) were excellent - flexible and helpful people who brought the history and culture of each country alive for us.”

“Amazing service! We used DayTrip twice during our travels in Europe, and it made traveling SO much better! We easily went from Bucharest, Romania to the countryside and then did a 7-hour trip from Bucharest to Sofia, Bulgaria. Trains are way longer and more stressful. Daytrip is convenient and our drivers were very knowledgeable and helpful. They recommend stops along the way and those stops were some of our highlights of the entire trip! Definitely recommending Daytrip to anyone traveling through Europe.”

“We have just come back from our tours in some of the Balkan Countries. We took Daytrip for all our transfers Brasov - Bucharest, Bucharest - Sofia, Sofia Belgrade, Belgrade - Budapest. The service clearly exceeded our expectations with prompt and very pleasing drivers with very good knowledge of the region. I am sure that I will look for Daytrip as my first choice for any future transfers where they are available.”

“My trip from Bucharest to Sofia with Catalin P. was as advertised — he picked me up at my Bucharest hotel on time, took me to a side visit to Veliko Tarnovo, then on to my hotel in Sofia without incident. I found Catalin to be a safe, courteous, and friendly driver, which I appreciated very much. His English is excellent and he was quite willing to engage me in conversation, answering my questions and providing opinions on a variety of topics. Although I found the service to be a bit expensive, I would recommend it without hesitation.”
