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.

Transfer Sofia to Thessaloniki with stop at Rila Monastery,

Organisation is efficient. Information is good, English excellent. Our driver, Ivaylo was a good driver, punctual and an interesting, friendly person. The vehicle was clean and in good condition. Although the transfer was more expensive than the bus, it was a bonus to be able to stop enroute and very convenient to be taken door to door. Good system to tailor make the transfer and select and pay for stops in advance. Would thoroughly recommend this company.

The Daytrip driver advantage

Daytrip driver
  • Local knowledge about the route from Sofia to Thessaloniki
    Including available sights:
  • English speaking*

    All Daytrip drivers speak English* as well as their native language (and sometimes additional languages too!). They'll be happy to discuss local history and culture with you, as well as answer any questions you may have. And because they speak the language, they're able to provide you with a unique opportunity to connect with local culture. *Drivers for Lite service aren't required to speak English but must meet all other standards.

  • Safety first!

    We screen all our drivers for criminal and traffic records, and personally interview each one. We also inspect their cars for safety, comfort, and reliability. All cars must be less than ten years old, in excellent operating condition, and insured as required by local law. And because our drivers are locals, they're familiar with the rules and customs of the road.

  • Experts on the route from Sofia to Thessaloniki

Flexible cancellation policy

  • Cancellations: 100% refund up to 24 hours before the trip!
