It was amazing seeing and getting to know places we went to, although wish we had another night in Florence and it felt too short I just really wanted more time with everyone but is an amazing trip that was 100% worth it
Perfect destinations, good time frame per city and wonderful recommendations from our guide.
Maddy was amazing at giving us a heap of facts and historical information. Her walking tours were awesome and I loved how she pointed out really interesting spots. The only thing I wasn’t too fused about was the perfumery stop we had to do
Maddie our topdeck leader was so awesome! All her recommendations, information, history and her passion really made for an amazing trip. It couldn’t have gone any better and exceeded all my expectations!
Was such an amazing trip! Got to see so many places and was a good taster for Europe. Our tour guide Maddie was amazing. She gave us so many good recommendations for places and was full of so much knowledge. All the people we met were so lovely and made so many great friends. Couldn’t recommend more!
The trip of a lifetime!!!! This was everything I wanted it to be and more, I ticked so much off my bucket list whilst making friends and memories that will last a lifetime.
This is a very fast paced tour, and it would have been nice to have longer in some locations (Florence in particular) however I knew the itinerary going into it. If your looking for a small teaser of each location rather than in depth discovery then this tour is ideal.
The accommodations were mixed. Most of the locations were clean and modern with the majority having private bathrooms as a pose to communal ones which was very convenient. Many were on the small side but this is expected in hostels. The worst stay was in Barcelona where the rooms looked like prison cells. A lot of our group did not enjoy our stay here. The best rooms, in my opinion, were in Florence and Venice. It would have been nice to have been warned before hand that a lot of the accommodations are an Uber or public transport ride away from the tourist spots but it didn't impact the enjoyment of the trip.
Be prepared for long hours on the bus. Travel days can be long, and we were unfortunate enough to get caught in traffic on the way to Nice which doubled our travel time. However, the tour leader kept us entertained as much as possible and travel days ended up being good bonding days with music and games.
Our trip leader, Michael was very helpful and approachable. He was knowledgeable and maintained a great balance between an organized and relaxed trip. Our driver was also very professional and polite.
The included meals could have been better.
I took part in most of the optional extras which I would highly recommend doing as they were all worth the money, the train ride and skydive in Switzerland in particular were excellent.
Some of the accomodation could have been better. The trip overall was quite rushed. Would've been nice to spend another day in florence.
Great way to see some of the highlights of Europe in a decent amount of time.
