The Story
Every traveler deserves real insight into the cultures of the countries they’re visiting.
And every amazing place on Earth deserves to be visited and appreciated.
We believe unique local knowledge and real human connection are irreplaceable
when it comes to truly comprehending another culture.
With this vision in mind, in 2015 we created Daytrip, a platform dedicated to giving travellers
an authentic experience by connecting them with local drivers. We’re a diverse
team of passionate travel enthusiasts with years of combined experience
in the travel industry and information technology.
The Founding Team
Tomáš Turek
Computer enthusiast with a degree in environmental management, Tomas ended up founding and successfully growing a transportation company for travelers to Central Europe, CK Shuttle. With five years of this invaluable experience he decided to pursue a broader vision with the idea of Daytrip.
Markéta Bláhová
Social media guru and ever-dreaming traveler, Marketa is the one you can probably thank for discovering Daytrip. After three years of shaping online campaigns for corporate clients, she quit the job with a major agency to co-found Daytrip and help share its ambitious vision with the world.
Petr Brabec
Some say he was born with square fingertips to match the keyboard. Truth is, learning to write and learning to code were synonymous to him. The one-time prodigy now leads Daytrip's engineering team.
Valeriia Tolstolujskaya
After graduation from the University of Kharkiv, Ukraine, where she excelled in computer science, Valeriia moved to Prague to work on interesting and ambitious projects. She complements Daytrip's engineering team with full-stack skills ranging from web front end to database to mobile app development to co-found Daytrip and help share its ambitious vision with the world.
Jan Prokop
Having lived and worked in four countries in seven years, Jan has always enjoyed meeting people from all over the world. After working with travellers at such diverse places as the Pacific coast, Italian Alps or picturesque Cesky Krumlov, he’s THE one to know their needs & pass this knowledge on to our partner drivers.
