Good transportation in Croatia / Bosnia & Herzogovina

We recently booked four trips with Daytrip, utilizing 3 different drivers and a variety of vehicles. Our trips were in Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina as follows: Split to Lake Plitvice (stop in Krka), Plitvice to Split, Split to Mostar (stop in Pocitelj ) and Mostar to Dubrovnik (stops in Blagaj tekija Monastery and Tvrdos Monastery for a wine tour). The drivers were all very good: on time, friendly, spoke english, gave us interesting information and were easy to communicate with via text and email for coordination. The vehicles were clean and in good condition. We investigated renting a car and found that we would not use it while in each town / island (Hvar, Split, Plitvice, Mostar, Dubrovnik). Parking was a challenge and expensive. There were less ferry options if we took the car (and more expensive).

Day trip from Split, Croatia to Plitvice and Krka National Parks

This is the second time we've used Daytrip and I'm sure it won't be the last. We enjoyed our trip very much. Scheduling was easy and as we got closer to our date it was also easy to make small changes to our itinerary. Our driver Milivoj T., picked us up on time, and was very friendly and knowledgeable about the areas we were going to. Thanks Daytrip!

Excellent six point to point trips in the Balkans

We were a party of 6 used Daytrip for six point to point trips ((Zagreb to Ljubljana, Ljubljana to Plitvice Lakes National Park, Plitvice Lakes National Park to Split, Split to Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik to Sarajevo, Sarajevo to Zagreb) in the Balkans over 2 weeks. All six drivers (Dario, Ziga, Damir, Mateo, Marko, and Tomislav) and vehicles were excellent in service and quality. A couple of the drivers went beyond their standard services and offered much guidance and knowledge on the local history, geography, culture, and places of interest during the road trips. Tomislav (Bugy) was rated the best driver. Highly recommend Daytrip where such service is available in other parts of the world.

Great way to travel!

A few weeks ago we travelled from Plitvice to Split in a private car with Slaven Dugec. It was a memorable trip through lovely scenery. He ensured that we were very comfortable in his Mercedes, which was immaculate. He drove well and answered all our questions about Croatia and its history. We stopped for coffee and photos at Skradin, and had lunch in Trogir. Would highly recommend this alternative to the bus.
