Excellent option for flexibility and convenience

“Filip drove me from Vienna to Ljubljana with a stop in Maribor. He was on time, friendly, good driver, flexible during my stop in Maribor-- he even took a good photo of me there! It's not a cheap service (nor should it be) but sometimes it is by far the best option.”

Awesome Company and Drivers

“I can not tell you how pleased I was with all my drivers on our four trips with your company. Each driver was right on time, usually early, very polite, friendly and professional. Driving in Europe is very different than driving in America, much faster and cars follow much too closely for my liking. With that said your drivers were very cautious and I never felt we were driving in excessive speed, and felt safe at all times. Each driver spoke English very well and there was no miscommunication, very open with conversation. I loved the fact that they were from different countries and I learned much about where they were from. They were also knowledgeable about the country we were heading to, even giving some advice on what to see when we arrived. Our first trip from Budapest to Prague was with a wonderful driver (sorry I can not remember his name) but he was so friendly and accommodating, even went with us to a special lunch place in Brno and picked us up when it was raining. Our trip from Vienna to Ljubljana was with Stanislav. He went well above and beyond to make our drive comfortable and fun. First he was super friendly and informative. I learned a great deal about his country and living in Eastern Europe in general. Very funny and relaxing to talk to. He made us all sorts of treats, drinks, sandwiches, pastries, and even fresh strawberries from his garden. He was a complete delight and even stopped in a small village for a short restroom, coffee break. Much appreciated!! All in all I would definitely recommend Daytrip to anyone traveling through Europe, which I already have to some friends. Being picked up and dropped off at your accommodations is such a big advantage to traveling and a cost saver. With my family of four, the cost of taxi to and from airport/train station and tickets for all of us, Daytrip was actually saving us money and time. Win-win! Thank you drivers and Daytrip for making our European vacation a great one!”
