"Made res. for transfer from Munich Airport Hilton Hotel to Passau for a Viking River Cruise. We were given a competitive rate for Mercedes private transfer, set up our dept time on line, and emails with details on driver, etc came quickly! We phoned our driver in the morning to confirm meeting point, he was there 1 minute later! He handled all our bags, we rode in comfort to Passau with bottled water provided. Could not have been easier. Lucky for us since Hotel gave us no assistance after 3 requests to their concierge! I read about Daytrip.com on the Rick Steve's River Cruise Forum, and am so glad I did!! We will use this again for sure."
