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.

Step into the Shire at Hobbiton Movie Set, where 44 hobbit holes nestle into rolling hillsides exactly as Bilbo and Frodo knew them. Your guided walking tour begins at Gandalf's Cutting—the identical path the wizard takes in The Fellowship of the Ring—then winds through Bagshot Row's colorful round doors, past meticulously maintained gardens growing real vegetables and flowers, and up to Bag End crowning the Hill. The attention to detail stuns: each hobbit hole features hand-carved letterboxes, miniature tools, working chimneys, and doors sized differently to create forced perspective for filming—some built for Gandalf-scale, others for hobbit-scale. The Party Tree's artificial leaves were individually wired from Taiwan onto a 26-ton oak trunk transported from nearby, while the Mill and double-arched bridge over the pond recreate scenes where Samwise dreamed of adventure. Wander to the Green Dragon Inn, rebuilt permanently after The Hobbit filming, where your complimentary beverage—perhaps a Southfarthing beer or ginger beer—awaits in the atmospheric interior complete with wooden beams and hobbit-sized furnishings.

Amazing driver experience

Our driver, Ibrahim, was wonderful. He drove us from Amman airport to Petra. Our flight was one hour early and he was already waiting for us when we got to the exit of the airport. He was helpful, professional and friendly. We would definitely love to have Ibrahim again and highly recommend him!

Awesome experience! Highly recommend!

So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.

Touring through Tuscany

We had the same driver for our 2 day trip in tuscany. I was able to develop my own itinerary so I could go where we wanted and see the things we wanted. Marco was fantastic!! He opened doors for us and made sure my mother was able to get in and out of the car easily. He had water in the car for us. He was early picking us up both days and brought us as close to the towns as he could. He told us which way to go to enter the cities and then sent me his location so we knew how to get back to him after traveling the streets. Im so happy I decided to get a driver to take us through Tuscany. It took all the worry and anxiety of driving through this region I had never been to and didnt know where to park. Money well spent!

Great transfer option.

I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.

Best transport company anywhere

We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.

Excellent experience in traveling

We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.

Daytrip never disappoints

We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.

Great driver in Egypt

Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.

Know more about your day trip

The Hamilton Gardens are free to enter, though some specialty garden areas within the complex require a paid ticket. The gardens are expansive and well worth allowing at least two hours to explore properly. They are open every day of the year and are a genuinely impressive attraction that surprises many visitors with their scale and variety.

Yes, advance booking for Hobbiton is strongly recommended regardless of your route. The movie set operates guided tours only, and availability fills up quickly during peak seasons and school holidays. Securing your Hobbiton tickets before your trip ensures you won't miss out, particularly since the Hamilton stop will use a significant portion of your morning.

Including Hamilton gives the day a broader sense of New Zealand's Waikato region, balancing a vibrant city experience with the cinematic wonder of Hobbiton. The Hamilton Gardens provide a vivid contrast to the rural farm setting at Matamata, and the longer total trip duration (approximately 11 hours) suits travelers who enjoy full, varied days rather than a single-destination visit.

Hamilton is approximately 80 miles (130 km) south of Auckland, roughly a 1.5-hour drive via the Waikato Expressway. The route passes through New Zealand's lush Waikato region and is an easy, scenic drive. From Hamilton, Matamata is a further 35 miles (57 km) southeast, adding around 45 minutes to reach the Hobbiton Movie Set.

Hamilton has a lively cafe and restaurant scene, particularly in the city center and along the Waikato River. It is an ideal place to stop for lunch between the two destinations. Hobbiton's Green Dragon Inn serves light refreshments and a complimentary drink as part of the tour. Packing snacks for the road is always a good idea for longer travel days.

Yes, this route works well for families. Hamilton Gardens is engaging for children of all ages, with open spaces to explore and diverse themed environments. Hobbiton's Shire setting captivates younger visitors who love the film series, and even those unfamiliar with the movies tend to enjoy the whimsical hobbit holes and fairy-tale atmosphere. The 11-hour day is long, so packing snacks and planning a lunch stop in Hamilton is advisable.

Hamilton's standout attraction is Hamilton Gardens, a world-renowned horticultural site featuring over 20 themed garden collections from around the globe, including Japanese, Italian Renaissance, and Chinese Scholar gardens. The Waikato River walkway, local cafes in the revitalized city center, and the Waikato Museum are other popular choices for visitors spending a few hours in the city.

Spring (September to November) and early summer (December to January) are ideal, offering mild to warm weather, long daylight hours, and Hamilton Gardens at their most colorful. Autumn brings beautiful foliage and cooler temperatures. Even in winter, both Hamilton and Hobbiton remain open and visually appealing, provided you pack warm layers and a rain jacket.
