How do day trips with Daytrip work?

Day trips offer travelers private round-trip transportation to popular sightseeing locations. One of our professional drivers will pick you up in a luxurious, climate-controlled car, take you to the site of interest, and wait for you while you explore before driving you back to your hotel.

Will I have to wait around for the driver to return?

Your Daytrip driver will wait for you nearby for the duration of your exploration, meaning you’ll never have to wait for your return trip transportation to arrive. Your comfort and convenience are our top priorities, and we aim to close out your day trip with a return on your schedule.

Can I customize the pickup and drop-off times?

Yes! You’re free to choose the pickup and drop-off times that work best for you. However, the time spent at the destination is fixed and cannot be changed.

Are entrance tickets and tours included in the price?

The price of a day trip does not include any entrance tickets, guided tours, or meals you may partake in at your destination. The price covers round-trip transportation in a luxury vehicle with a professional driver who can provide local insights en route.

How long will I have to explore?

Each sightseeing stop has a recommended duration that includes plenty of time to explore. However, it is possible to customize the time spent at each sightseeing stop at a later stage in the booking process to best fit your unique schedule.

If my plans change, is the booking flexible?

Day trip bookings can be canceled up to 24 hours before your trip for a full refund, no strings attached. While the destination and stops are predetermined, it is possible to change your pick-up point, whether it is at your hotel or some other location within the city.

Can I take a large group?

Yes! Day trips are fully customizable to suit the needs of any private group. From solo travelers to large families with children and even corporate groups, we are ready to create a bespoke itinerary that accommodates parties of all sizes. The price is dependent on the number of vehicles required to serve your group, and we also provide child seats.

Will my driver speak English?

Your friendly, professional, local driver will speak English. Our drivers are happy to provide any local insight they can on the way to your destination and may be able to answer questions and provide tips for the best possible experience on your day trip.

Can I request children’s car seats for the journey?

Yes, we provide car seats for children of all ages, which meet stringent safety standards and local legal requirements. You can even bring your own car seat. We also have handicapped-accessible vehicles available for a wide range of needs for our passengers. When booking your day trip, please specify the accommodations you will need.

Can I pay securely online?

Yes, Daytrip offers flexible payment options. We accept Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Ali Pay. You also can pay securely online with any major credit card, such as Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.

Booking your day trip is as easy as our one-way and return trips! On the landing page of the day trip you’d like to take, simply select the date, pick up time, and how many adults and children will be on the trip. On the second page, you’ll fill in personal details, including any special requests, disability accommodations, and children’s car seats you may need. We are flexible too! You can change your exact pick-up location (hotel address, etc) up to 24 hours before your day trip.

Capture iconic coastal beauty, serene forests, and iconic wines in one stop at Cacela Velha. Start your journey by taking a guided tour of the Monastery of Paco de Sousa, a centerpiece of the Romanesque Route that offers visitors an austere, beautiful spiritual atmosphere that contrasts with the area’s glassy salt flats and ethereal blend of sea and sky. Then, head to the Municipal Museum of Penafiel nearby to learn more about the region’s archaeological significance, culture, and traditional rural life. After these cultural sites, immerse yourself in a peaceful forest walk at Sameiro Park, and enjoy visiting its quaint chapel. Finally, stroll the lush gardens and dreamy estate of Quinta da Aveleda, and consider sampling vinho verde to warm up for your next vineyard stop.

Meander through the sunbaked olive groves and lush vineyards of Quintana da Tor, an indulgence of the senses. Your second guided stop at Quintana da Tor allows you to learn more about the region’s strong wine-making culture while sampling the freshest cheeses, the richest olive oil, and the most decadent local wines. Marvel at the sprawling olive grove and symmetrical vineyard rows, or consider taking a dip in the Quintana’s infinity pool to cool off with views of the terracotta soil and greenery below. Travelers can book a dedicated wine tasting or enjoy seasonal specials and chef-recommended pairings. If you happen to fall in love with a particular wine, the vineyard can help you organize mailing a bottle (or two!) home to savor and remember your trip by.
