I had a white Christmas. Saw snow for the first time ever. I was completely myself too. I came back from this trip a changed man. More experienced and observant.
Once in a lifetime experience
Great length of toir and time of year to travel- off peak but also so beautiful! The topdeck team were so great.
Should stay longer in certain places where more activities could be done
Good trip! Hostels were good, bus always impeccably clean!
Included meals were sometimes questionable quality or choice was very limited. For example - I’m not a vegetarian but don’t eat pork. This was problematic in Germany when the provided meal was a pork knuckle and I didn’t get an opportunity to change this.
The only included meal that I throughly enjoyed was Switzerland!
Going on the tour made exploring easy. Having someone tell us the best things to do was awesome! Definitely worth it for the first big trip overseas.
Went to lots of amazing places but would have preferred to stay in some places longer. The accommodation was pretty average along with the included food.
I loved the locations and I have made so many friends that I’ll keep forever. The memories made on this trip with my best friend was priceless. 100% I would love to do a trip with Topdeck again
I had wonderful trip leader and Mel was really sweet and nice.
It was one of the best thing that I've done last year and in my life. people that I've travelled with were wonderful. If I have chance to go on a trip I really want to go on a trip with another topdeck tour.
Long enough to see everything and went to all the places we wanted to see
Loved it will do it again and more
Pretty good value for money but some hostels were dodgy especially Amsterdam- and tip if you're going on this trip: skip/sort out your own breakfast from one of the (or all of the) amazing bakeries in Europe because you will get tired of the continental breakfast pretty soon
Might be good if you’ve never been to Europe before but you don’t have enough time in each location to do anything and you’ll be travelling with a chaotic mess of 18 year olds binge drinking their way through Europe whilst generally being disrespectful and ignorant of the people and places they’re visiting...kind of embarrassing to be associated with and a waste of your time and money if you’re not into that.
It was really good, all of us basically turned into a family. Got to experience so much of Europe!!
Our leader, Carolyn, was super helpful and was great to have with us.
It was amazing! Best thing ever!
This trip was the most amazing thing that I have ever been involved in. As a solo traveller, I was pleasantly surprised at how well these tours are set up for travellers like myself. It was a great way of meeting fellow solo travellers from around the world, making you feel like you never arrived by yourself at all.
Winter getaway was honestly the best trip I’ve ever done. I travelled solo and was really nervous but from the first day I was connecting with like minded people and ticking things off the bucket list. I’ve met some of the best people and am so grateful for their friendship, I’m sure it’ll exist in years to come.
I also just want to mention our trip leader, she was fantastic- so friendly, knowledgeable, adventurous and made everything exciting and the best that it could be.
I absolutely love the Winter Getaway tour. As a first time solo traveler to Europe it was a great way to see incredible Europe along with meeting some amazing people and in generally just having a great time. We got to see a Christmas market in almost every country and the snow was beautiful. I would highly recommend this trip to first time travelers and those who love winter!
Could not complain with value for money.
Preço bom e qualidade boa
This trip was life changing. I saw the world for the first time (apart from Australia) and made three life long friends. Steve our tour guide was incredible and it wouldn’t not have been the same without him
Was very good! Worth the money I paid.
The trip leader was just awesome!! And the people on the trip were like minded and super cool! Couldn’t ask for any more!
Like I said, I did most of the optional activities and I thought they were well worth the money. Jungfrau was really pricey but it turned out to be the best part - the views were absolutely spectacular since it was a clear day.
So worth while value and money wise
i will recommend topdeck to my friends and will travel with you again.
Great value for money and very happy with what we got from the package.
Estuvo bien el
Tour me agradó los lugares que visite , el único problema eran las largas horas de viaje entre algunos destinos pero en general estuvo muy bien
All travel details were already planned for us and each hostel was very comfortable
The trip, although short, was able to touch great cities and enabled us to experience part of their culture.
It was well organized and the leader was fun!
Cost vs Benefit 100% equal, i would have been happy with a bit more if i had to pay more.
Good tour and saw some good attractions
Great bang for your buck!
Would have also been nice to spend more time in some cities.
I would have personally been willing to pay more money for accommodation closer to the city centres in Rome, Paris and Venice.
Money well spent........................
The trip was great value, way cheaper than if I'd organised it all my own
This review site is asking for too much
just wish I had longer in places otherwise it was amazing and the travelling days weren't too bad with the breaks and movies and games
It was just okay........ Nothing really impressive
It was worth every dollar
Had the most amazing time! Went to the best places in Europe! Totally worth it!
everything was simple and straight forward...... Nothing was hidden.....
The tour guide was friendly, funny and very knowledgable. Saw plenty of things on my bucket list
Great value for money. Visited many countries in a busy itinerary. Included meals were all of high standard, hostels were all good quality.
Good length of trip, amazing cities chosen and great group of people.
Winter was beautiful in Europe and didn't have to line up for anything!
Amazing places, even in the wintering conditions. If anything, the cold and the snow made it even more spectacular.
Good price for what you get - most of the travel (once you get there), including most meals and accommodation. It all added to the experience.
The package was great value for money. All the cities we visited were worthwhile and the food was good too.
Price was affordable for what I got out of the trip.
great value for money! we did everything we wanted to and had it all paid for before we even got over there!
Was good and was very reasonable for what we got.
It was worth every penny! Very organised and great options to choose from
Made some amazing new friends, saw some beautiful new places!
This tour was a great way for me and my friends to explore Europe in the winter months. The itinerary was great and the accommodation was nice at most places.
Perfectly planned, amazing guide, included history and interesting facts, good suggestions on what to do on free days
great trip! saw so much! made some amazing memories
Wonderful spots picked, even the day stops were great. Good amount of time in each place (except maybe Paris). Lots of fun had by everyone
It was great. My only regret was that we didn't get to spend more time in places.
Europe is amazing, it something that one has to experience at least once hopefully more. Especially as someone coming from Africa it is an incredible experience but also daunting with the prospect of organizing everything and figuring out where stuff is. Top deck takes all of this hassle away and makes traversing Europe incredibly easy even for someone who has never even seen a subway system before. The places visited and accommodation is superb (especially the hostels they only have 4 people or so per room not the usual 20) and some how the tour manages to include more activities and sites than you can imagine. Most of all though the guide and driver are just simply the best (especially the the pair on the tour I took) they are exceptionally knowledgeable, helpful and incredibly good at their jobs; they even carefully engineer the social dynamic so that everyone gets along (despite being stuck on a coach for many hours) and has the best possible time. This is a tour company you must try to see how good it is.
I loved all the countries we visited! I just wish it could have been a longer stay in each, of course there probably are longer tours but they just didn't suit at the time.
The bus was comfortable given we only had 18 people on my trip so we could easily spread out and have a nap! :)
The food was what I expected having been in hostels. The one hotel we stayed in was so nice and a fun little break in between sharing such small spaces.
I really want to go again!
You need to like the cold. It wasnt cold the whole time but the majority. I didn't know what to expect, but it was incredible experience that i will remember forever.
Amazing trip, amazing Tour Guide and amazing bus driver!! Once in a lifetime experience
