Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!
Each passenger is allowed one large bag (29" x 21" x 11" / 74 x 53 x 28 cm) and one small bag (22" x 14" x 9" / 56 x 36 x 23 cm). Luxury sedans can only accommodate 2 large bags. We always send the vehicle that is the best fit for you and your luggage, so make sure to select the actual amount of luggage you are traveling with when booking. If you have oversized luggage, or are unsure if your luggage will fit, contact us.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
“Seville has a special color” is a song that comes to most Spaniards' minds when they think of Seville. This city really has its own special color, reflected in the impressive architecture that showcases the evolution of the city, the Guadalquivir River which makes its way through the city, and the warming locals which radiate joy. Your car trip from Valencia to Seville promises an equally memorable experience!
As each region in Spain has its own character, you will be in awe at the contrast between Valencia and Seville. While Valencia seamlessly blends historical charm with modern innovation, Seville will enchant you with the timeless beauty of its majestic buildings and squares.
As you leave the coastal Valencia and approach Seville, make sure you don’t miss out on any sightseeing stops en route, such as the town of Alarcon, Cordoba, or Carmona, which is just a 30-minute drive away from Seville.
About Seville
Seville, also known as the capital city of Andalusia, is considered one of the most important cities in Spain. It has around 3,000 years of history, and its Old Town is known as one of the largest in the country. The historical heritage of Seville showcases the Roman, Arab, Visigoth, and Andalusian influences. As you stroll through the city, you will see different styles: Gothic, Renaissance, Mudéjar, and Baroque.
Around the 9th century, it is believed that Seville was founded by the Tartessos when the city was named Spal. Later the city was occupied by Phoenicians and Carthaginians. When Romans entered the city in 206 BC, the name of the city was Latinized and thus renamed to Hispalis. In 426, Seville came under Visigothic rule until in 712 it was conquered by the Moors. Later in 1248 Christian forces took over Seville, marking the end of Muslim rule.
During the Golden Age, Seville flourished from the 16th to 17th century, and emblematic landmarks such as Seville Cathedral and the Royal Alcázar were built. It is also the period when the famous writer Cervantes was living in Seville. It is believed that he wrote the famous novel Don Quixote in the prison of Seville due to debts.
Unfortunately, in the 17th century, Seville endured devastating plagues, which led to economic and political issues. Over the years, Seville got back on its feet, and today it is known for its vibrant Andalusian culture, flamenco, beautiful architecture, and monuments that attract many visitors from near and far.

Things to do when you get to Seville
Once you part ways with your driver, it is time to explore Seville’s special colors! There is so much to do in Seville, so it is not an easy job to summarize just a few must-see or must-do things. Nevertheless, here are some ideas for every taste:
Admire the world’s largest Gothic cathedral
Seville Cathedral is not only the largest cathedral of this style, but it is also among the largest ones in the world. This impressive cathedral is so big that you will probably wander around it for 1 to 2 hours. The cathedral is also a famous landmark, as the Christobal Colon’s tomb is housed there.
You can either purchase the tickets online in advance or stand in the line which should not take more than 30 minutes. You can also opt for an audio-guided tour. Don’t forget to climb the Giralda Tower which is connected to the cathedral. You will see some of the most panoramic views of the city!
Enjoy a peaceful stroll at the Maria Luisa Park
If the warm sun becomes too intense, take a leisurely walk around Maria Luisa Park, which is located next to Plaza de España. The pathways are shaded by numerous trees, providing the perfect escape from the sun. As you wander through the park, you'll come across several monuments and fountains worth admiring.
Discover one of the most glorious places in Seville
If it is your first time in Seville, you cannot miss the Real Alcázar. It is a UNESCO-listed medieval palace that showcases the Christian and Moorish influence of Spain. This majestic castle is considered one of the most beautiful ones in the country. Some of the parts of the castle are still used by the Spanish Royal family. You can either purchase your ticket on the official website or by the entrance but make sure you bring your ID card.
Try the cuisine of Seville
Seville is famous for its tapas culture and traditional tapas bars, but that's just the tip of the culinary iceberg when it comes to the city's cuisine. Here are three dishes that will make you want to come back to Seville:
Salmorejo: a cold soup similar to gazpacho, made with tomatoes, bread, garlic, and olive oil.
Huevos a la Flamenca: a dish made of eggs that are baked in tomato sauce, chorizo, serrano ham, and vegetables.
Espinacas con garbanzos: a stew that mainly consists of spinach and chickpeas.
When is the best time to visit Seville
The pleasant climate is a major factor in why many people pick Seville as their top Spanish destination. However, the heat can be overwhelming during the summer months, which is why it's recommended to visit Seville in the spring or fall.
During spring, particularly in March, when the temperatures are moderate, you can enjoy the delightful smell of orange and jasmine blossoms that fill the air. This season is when the city gradually comes alive, with numerous cultural events and festivals taking place. The temperatures generally range around 68°F (20°C). Fall is also a fantastic time to visit Seville, especially in November, as the atmosphere is more tranquil, yet the warmth is still present.

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”
