Private transfer Kraków to Prague

“Arriving from overseas we were not able to prebook the train from Kraków to Prague. Instead we did a private door to door car transfer. Our driver Blazej was professional, personable and easy to get along with. This was an exceptional service which we would use again.”

The Best Way to Get Around Europe When You Don't Want to Drive Yourself!

“We were planning a trip through Europe recently in which we were flying into Munich and flying out of Berlin. We were wondering if we should take trains or rent a car between our scheduled stops in Munich, Prague, Krakow, and Berlin. And, we wanted to do a custom, all day trip out of Prague to two small towns in Saxony, Germany, with a return to Prague. Then we found Daytrip and it was just what the doctor ordered! On-time pickups (when we wanted to go!) and dropoffs at our hotels, professional and personable (and safe) drivers, bottled water (sometimes cookies), and a place to charge your phones. A special shout out to our four wonderful drivers: Jakub L. (Munich to Prague with a stop in Pilsen for the Pilsner Urquell brewery), Matej M. (custom trip out of Prague to Saxony), Mike I. (Prague to Krakow), and Wojciech (Krakow to Berlin) for showing us Central Europe and describing their countries to us along the way. A consistent experience is very important in this type of business and Daytrip provided the same consistency for us trip after trip after trip. I look forward to using Daytrip again on future visits to Europe and beyond.”

We did two trips with Daytrip. One from Krakow to Prague and the second from Pague to Budapest.

“We had read about Daytrip on TripAdvisor. It had good reviews and we decided to take a chance. We were not disappointed. The drivers were very pleasant. They were on time and the cars were clean and comfortable. Taking a car was much easier and quicker. It was well worth the extra expense to travel this way. We would highly recommend this company.”

Excellent transfer service

“We recently used Daytrip twice during a holiday in Europe, travelling from Prague to Krakow and later from Krakow to Vienna. We chose Daytrip after considering other options such as air, train and rental car, and we are very pleased with our choice. Booking online was easy, and Daytrip confirmed all the details a couple of days ahead of the pickup. The service was exactly as advertized on the firm's website. Both our drivers arrived at our hotel at the agreed time, and proved polite and agreeable during the trip. In both cases, the service was direct, without any extra sightseeing, and we were delivered right to our next hotel in the city centre. The cars were spotless and the drivers very competent. As we had been on a river cruise earlier in our holiday, we had a bit more luggage than usual, and it was very nice to just hand the suitcases over to the driver and be transferred doorstep to doorstep. We would definitely use Daytrip again.”

Hotel to Hotel from Prague to Krakow with 2 stops

“We wanted to see the country as we headed to Krakow and decided to use Daytrip. We are so pleased we did. Our PhD candidate driver was skilled, personable and well informed about our stops and about both the Czech Republic and Poland. We enjoyed seeing the countryside and small towns, and our stops in Kutna Hora and Olomouc were worthwhile. Our driver knew the very best restaurant in Olomouc, where we had perhaps our finest meal on the trip (as well as a great mug of tank beer). It is worth the money to use this service.”

Guided us to good restrooms Avoided traffic jams Except for road construction coming out of Prague, the Polish roads were fantastic (much better than in the US!) He was great. I would use daytrip in the future for city to city trips if < 8 hrs and no direct flight or good train service, ie Prague to Krakow. Door to door is really convenient”

Great way to get from one city to another

“We used Daytrip to get from Krakow to Prague with a stop in Auschwitz and from Budapest to Zagreb. The drivers were on time, friendly and answered all our questions about the area we were driving through. The main office was quick to respond to all my emails and answered all my questions. It’s of course more expensive than train or bus but it saves time and the hassle of transferring from train or bus station to accommodations. I will use again for future holidays.”

A Perfect Ride from Krakow to Prague

“We decided to append a trip on our own to Prague at the end of an organized Berlin to Krakow tour. After some online research before leaving home we booked a ride with Daytrip. We were extraordinarily pleased with our Daytrip experience. Our driver, Wojciech, was at our hotel at the appointed time. His 5 series BMW sedan was spotless, comfortable, and well maintained, he was efficient and courteous throughout the trip, and he spoke perfect English. We would rate the entire experience A+ and will absolutely look to Daytrip the next time we need private transportation in Europe or any of the other areas in which they operate.”

Private transfer from Prague to Krakow

“First time we used MyDaytrip.com so did not know what to expect. Our expectations were exceeded. I found out two days before that advance reservations were needed for Auschwitz-Birkenau, so we made a last minute change so we could get to Auschwitz very early the next morning for the few "walk in no tour" spaces available. No thanks to my "East Europe Lonely Planet Guide" that made no mention that you had to have reservations and you need to make them weeks in advance" Our driver Michal W picked us up promptly at 8A from our "Botel" . When he found out that Auschwitz was a high priority for us and that we were hoping to just get in without a tour in the morning he immediately made some calls and got us reservations for that afternoon. It was a push to get there by 2P - but we made it and Michal help make a trip a success. Thanks Michal and MyDayTrip.com!!!”
