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.

Om din resa

A perfect half-day escape from the Montreux Jazz Festival — when the lakeside stages and the crowds need a counterpoint, the road into the Fribourg Prealps delivers one of Switzerland's most rewarding short journeys. Gruyères is a medieval hilltop village of complete picturesqueness, its single cobbled street leading to a 13th-century castle above the pastures that produce the AOC cheese made in the valley below — a different Switzerland entirely, just 45 minutes from the lake.

Resplan stopp vid Gruyeres på privat dagsutflykt från Montreux

A medieval hilltop of complete picturesqueness — cheese, castle, and Alpine air in a single cobbled street above the Fribourg Prealps.

What to see

A perfectly preserved medieval hilltop village — a single cobbled main street of 15th-century stone houses leads to a 13th-century castle
The surrounding Alpine pastures produce the milk for Gruyère cheese made at the La Maison du Gruyère dairy in the valley below
The HR Giger Museum occupies a Gothic house on the main street

What to eat

Fondue and meringues doubles (cream-filled meringues made with double cream from the surrounding Gruyère herds)

Take note

Gruyères village is car-free — your driver drops you at the base of the hill, and the main street is a short, gentle walk up

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!

Heidi I27 februari 2026

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.

Robyn C2 oktober 2025

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

Yes, Gruyeres is car-free and very walkable. Your driver drops you at the base of the hill, and a short, gentle climb leads you up the cobbled main street to the castle. The compact medieval center can be explored on foot in a couple of hours, with restaurant terraces, artisan shops, and viewpoints across the Prealps valley along the way.

Gruyeres is about 50 miles (80 km) from Montreux, and the drive takes roughly 1 hour each way. The route offers scenic views of Lake Geneva, the Vaud countryside, and the Alpine foothills before arriving at the medieval hilltop village.

Gruyeres is excellent for families. Kids enjoy the storybook castle, the open Alpine pastures with grazing cows, and interactive cheese-making demonstrations at La Maison du Gruyere. The car-free village is safe to explore on foot, and the gentle uphill walk to the castle is manageable for most children.

Absolutely. The 13th-century Chateau de Gruyeres preserves Burgundian court furnishings, Corot landscapes, and a striking stained glass hall. The interior gives a genuine sense of medieval life in the Fribourg region, and the views from the castle ramparts across the Alpine pastures are some of the finest in French-speaking Switzerland.

Yes, combining the castle with La Maison du Gruyere works well if time permits. The dairy sits in the valley below the hilltop village rather than on the hill itself. Factory tours run throughout the day and include tastings of Gruyere at different aging stages, giving a complete picture of the region's cheesemaking heritage.

Beyond fondue and raclette made with local Gruyere, the village is famous for meringues doubles, light meringues paired with thick double cream from the surrounding herds. Restaurant terraces along the main street serve seasonal Swiss fare such as roesti, charcuterie boards, and Alpine-style platters with valley views.

Gruyeres is best known for its AOC-protected Gruyere cheese, produced in the surrounding Alpine pastures and aged at La Maison du Gruyere dairy in the valley. The village itself is a perfectly preserved medieval gem with a single cobbled main street leading to a 13th-century castle. Visitors also come for fondue, double-cream meringues, and the unusual HR Giger Museum dedicated to the Alien designer.

Gruyeres is rewarding year-round. Spring and summer bring warm weather perfect for hiking and outdoor terraces, while autumn paints the Prealps in golden hues. Winter can be very cold with snow blanketing the village, creating a storybook atmosphere. The castle and cheese dairy stay open throughout the year, though hours may vary by season.
