My little group consisting of my wife, myself and a fried decided that we could see more of Ireland if we hired Daytrip car and driver to take us from Galway to Wexford with a stop at Kilkenny. Our driver Austin was an extra gem! Pick up was on time, car was spotless, and Austin a cheerful effective driver with a great knowledge of the areas we would drive through. Using Daytrip allowed us (particularly me) to relax and enjoy the journey. All the booking process was as close to effortless as is possible.

Orestis, our driver made this a wonderful day to remember. He collected us and drove the 90 miles to the Palace of Knossos stopping en route at a lovely village where we were treated to coffees and traditional Creton pastries and pancake - so delicious and welcome. No need to worry about a long journey as we made this initial stop and could stop for breaks at any time.
Orestis was a gem, his driving was excellant and safe and he was so lovely to chat with. We learnt so much more about Crete through him. He was totally responsive to all our needs for the day; taking us to the museum after we had toured the palace and then via a supermarket on our way home as we wanted provisions for supper.
Orestis gave us tips for good eateries and we thouroughly enjoyed learning about his life in Crete. He made the day a day to remember.
