How group trips (with Topdeck 😉) make connections better

4 ways our group trips make real connections even better, let’s go! 👇 

 

1. Provides a mental health boost 

When you meet people you truly connect with, your brain does a happy dance. We know the world needs heaps more of that. You feel more seen, more confident, more loved. These are the people who you might have needed All. Your. Life. Find them with us.  

 

 

“A number of folks find their romantic partner on Topdeck trips, but I was lucky enough to find a ‘twin flame’ of a friend on mine!” – Christi. 

 

2. Shared experiences create bonds

Whether they last the night or way, way longer, you’ll always look back on a Topdeck trip with fondness, thinking “hell yeah, I did that, with those people.” That’s what connection is. You’re connected to the memories, the trip, the people. Even if you never speak to that person again, that experience and that moment shapes you in some way. And that is something you’ll cherish forever.  

 

 

“Sometimes I cannot believe that we have kept our friendship for over a decade, one which started on a Topdeck trip in London!” – Jeyakanthan. 

 

3. Nobody leaves early, nobody starts late

You must be new here if you haven’t heard us shout about this from the rooftops. Hi, welcome to the greatest group travel company there ever was (in our opinion, obvs).  

At Topdeck, we have this thing where every single person on our trips starts together on the first day and finishes together on the last day. Topdeckers that start together, stay together.  

What’s the point of bonding with someone if they’re gone two days later? Nope, that’s good enough for other companies, but not us.  

 

 

“We are continuing the tradition and doing topdeck 2025 Spain and Portugal. However, this time we are expanding, and James is bringing his new girlfriend. Adding more to the group!” – Nicole. 

 

4. Friendships beyond the coach

Some people on our trips make strong connections with others, so much so their story goes way beyond the coach. That ‘we clicked instantly’ moment.

For those friendships, it doesn’t matter how many miles are between you, or what time zone you’re in, they last a lifetime.  

 

 

“This year we got engaged. Our officiant, best man and one of our groomsmen were also on our same Topdeck tour and we have all been friends ever since” – Siobhan.
