How it works

When you travel in Europe, you are visiting the „must see” attractions first, like sightseeing tours in a capital. We invite you to discover more, the countryside at the same country!

If you have some hours free or even a whole day, LocalDrivesMe picks you up from your hotel/apartment at an agreed upon time and our local driver takes you safely to amazing castles, lakes, national parks, charming little towns/villages, Unesco World Heritage sites!

Much better way to see many more and save your valuable time, than finding local buses, trains and waiting in lines. LocalDrivesMe provides you a comfortable vehicle and a dedicated English speaking local driver who’s your tourguide as well for the day.

Service is currently available in Hungary, with Budapest based drivers.

What is LocalDrivesMe?

LocalDrivesMe is a platform which connects travelers with local drivers who will transport and guide you at interesting points of the countryside in one day. 
A local drives you. We serve, you explore.
