About Edinburgh
Edinburgh, Scotland's majestic capital, is located on the east coast on the south bank of the Firth of Forth. It entices with its combination of ancient history and vibrant modernity. From the towering Edinburgh Castle to the bustling Royal Mile, Edinburgh offers an unforgettable journey through history and culture. Whether you're wandering the wynds or enjoying the traditional pubs, you're in for a belter of a time!
History of Edinburgh
Edinburgh's past is as rich and complicated as its rugged landscape. Originally built as a fortress called "Din Eidyn" in 600 A.D., it became a stronghold of Scottish defense against invaders. The city grew around the famous Edinburgh Castle, a strategically important place atop a volcanic plug.
By the 15th century, Edinburgh had replaced Scone as Scotland's capital and became the political and cultural heart of the nation. The city's medieval Old Town, with its winding streets and towering houses, reflects centuries of history, including the Scottish Enlightenment, when it earned the moniker "Athens of the North" due to its intellectual and cultural influence.
Modern Edinburgh
Today, Edinburgh is a lively city that combines its long history with modern elements. Its historic architecture lives peacefully with its modern buildings, like the Scottish Parliament and the lively harbor area of Leith.
People come from all over the world to attend events like the Edinburgh Fringe, which has a thriving arts scene. Visitors can enjoy things like indulging in traditional Scottish cuisine at local pubs, strolling around Victoria Street browsing quirky shops, and taking a scenic hike up Arthur's Seat for breathtaking views of the city.

âJag anvĂ€nde denna tjĂ€nst för en transfer frĂ„n Split i Kroatien till Perast i Montenegro. Min upplevelse var exceptionell. Min chaufför Bojan var hjĂ€lpsam, informativ och sĂ„g till att min resa var bekvĂ€m och trevlig. Jag rekommenderar starkt denna tjĂ€nst.â
âVi var mycket nöjda med kvaliteten pĂ„ den service vi fick frĂ„n Day Trip. Vi hade tvĂ„ resor med Day Trip: den 31 augusti frĂ„n Aten till Lefkada och den 7 september frĂ„n Lefkada tillbaka till Aten. BĂ„da resorna inkluderade stopp vid natursköna platser i Grekland. BĂ„da förarna var utmĂ€rkta och tillmötesgĂ„ende. Vi vill dock sĂ€rskilt uppmĂ€rksamma Panos Peppas, som var vĂ„r förare frĂ„n Lefkada till Aten. Panos var otroligt trevlig och behaglig och levererade enastĂ„ende kundservice, som inkluderade att han tog hand om allt vĂ„rt bagage, gav oss kallt vatten under hela resan, försĂ„g oss med proteinbars, gav oss tryckt material om Korintkanalen (ett av de natursköna stoppen), tog reda pĂ„ och gav oss terminal- och gateinformation för vĂ„rt flyg hem, samt gav oss ett recept pĂ„ tzatziki.â

âVi Ă€lskar verkligen det hĂ€r företaget och har anvĂ€nt det mĂ„nga gĂ„nger genom Ă„ren för att ta oss frĂ„n A till B utan krĂ„nglet med att hyra bil sjĂ€lva. UtmĂ€rkta chaufförer varje gĂ„ng. Effektiva och professionella. Det Ă€r vĂ€rt varenda krona, och vi rekommenderar Ă€rligt Day Trip till alla. Deras femstjĂ€rniga betyg Ă€r vĂ€lförtjĂ€nt.â
âVi reste frĂ„n NĂŒrnberg till MĂŒnchen i en vacker Audi. Chauffören hĂ€mtade oss pĂ„ vĂ„rt hotell exakt vid den begĂ€rda tiden. Han fick oss till MĂŒnchen i god tid för vĂ„r nĂ€sta tur. Chauffören sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt.â
âGonzalo frĂ„n Daytrip var vĂ„r chaufför och han var helt fantastisk. Han gjorde allt för att hitta oss eftersom vĂ„r mobiltĂ€ckning var dĂ„lig. Han vĂ€ntade tĂ„lmodigt i lobbyn tills vi kom, sĂ„ att han kunde köra oss frĂ„n Tulum Dreams Resort till vĂ„rt andra hotell i CancĂșn, en och en halv timme bort nĂ€ra flygplatsen inför vĂ„r hemresa. Han var artig, respektfull och vĂ€nlig. Han sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt under hela resan. Snabb och effektiv. Jag rekommenderar detta företag eftersom det inte Ă€r lĂ€tt eller billigt att hitta en enkelresa frĂ„n Tulum till CancĂșn, och detta företag erbjuder en utmĂ€rkt tjĂ€nst till ett bra pris. Jag kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda dem igen nĂ€r jag Ă€r i omrĂ„det CancĂșn/Tulum. Tack DayTrip och Gonzalo.â
âMarianna hĂ€mtade oss för att köra oss frĂ„n Heraklion till Chania. VĂ€dret var hemskt, och pĂ„ grund av detta kom Marianna nĂ„gra minuter sent. Hon kontaktade mig för att meddela det. Marianna bor i Chania och gjorde resan vĂ€ldigt intressant genom att berĂ€tta om lokala sevĂ€rdheter och saker att göra i Chania. Marianna Ă€r en sĂ€ker förare och vi kĂ€nde oss alla trygga med bĂ„de hastigheten och hur bra hon körde i det kraftiga regnet. Hon Ă€r en underbar person och talar flytande engelska. Vi rekommenderar verkligen Daytrip, och om du Ă€r i Heraklion eller Chania, se till att frĂ„ga efter Marianna.â
âJag anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten för att Ă„ka frĂ„n Luxor till Hurghada, Egypten. Ahmed H var vĂ„r chaufför och han var perfekt. Bilen var ny, ren, han hade vatten och snacks för oss och anpassade sig efter vĂ„ra stopp. Fantastisk service frĂ„n honom, jag rekommenderar det varmt.â
âVi anvĂ€nde Daytrip för tvĂ„ resor i Mexiko, och bĂ„da var fantastiska. SĂ„ bekvĂ€mt, och vi anlĂ€nde till varje destination i perfekt tid. BĂ„da förarna var otroliga, och vi kĂ€nde oss vĂ€ldigt trygga. En av vĂ„ra förare, Miguel, spelade dessutom den bĂ€sta musiken! Vi kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda Daytrip pĂ„ vĂ„r nĂ€sta resa till Mexiko.â

âVi visste inte vad vi skulle förvĂ€nta oss av denna resa och bokade frĂ„n Australien. Vi letade frĂ„n början efter ett enkelt sĂ€tt att resa frĂ„n Granada till Malaga. Vi bestĂ€mde oss för att inte missa möjligheten att se nĂ„got extra pĂ„ vĂ€gen. Miguel övertrĂ€ffade verkligen vĂ„ra förvĂ€ntningar. Hans engelska var utmĂ€rkt (tyvĂ€rr talar vi mycket lite spanska), och han var mycket vĂ€nlig och hjĂ€lpsam. Vi njöt verkligen av att höra om regionerna nĂ€r vi passerade genom dem och Ă€ven att diskutera nĂ„gra av de lokala sĂ€tten. Miguel tog oss till Antequera som planerat och sĂ„g till att vi enkelt kunde fĂ„ vĂ„ra biljetter till attraktionerna utan nĂ„gon brĂ„dska. Vi blev upphĂ€mtade och avlĂ€mnade punktligt och njöt verkligen av vĂ„r resa. Förhoppningsvis kommer vi att Ă„tervĂ€nda till Spanien och vi kan anvĂ€nda denna tjĂ€nst igen nĂ„gon gĂ„ng.â
âVi anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten tvĂ„ gĂ„nger medan vi var i Thailand. Extremt snabb och effektiv kundservice. BĂ€sta pris som erbjuds i Chiang Mai för resorna. Artiga, punktliga, professionella och engelsktalande chaufförer. Rena, bekvĂ€ma fordon. Som en regelbunden besökare i Thailand var detta den bĂ€sta servicen, utan tvekan. Mycket nöjd med företaget. Jag hoppas att det bibehĂ„ller den serviceexcellens som gavs till oss.â
