Trip was outstanding I believe we hit all the great destinations in our time, and we got the most out of our trip
Hotels were good but would be nice if more meals and activities were included instead of charging extra to the customer.
Topdeck was awesome just the meals were a dat small and and not that great for the meals we ate. Tour guide nikiki was great :)
Super Dooper fun and packed full of wonderlust
The cities visited was amazing, however not enough time in each city. It was too jam-packed with everyday on the go. Could have included a bit more such as food/activities. Accommodation in San Francisco could have been better, however was a good location. Communication could have been better.
Poor hotel choices in Vegas and San Fran. Guide not experienced enough. Boy/Girl ratio of travellers was completely one sided. Rather do contiki!
Apart from not having confirmation of all accommodations until the tour started, I would suggest having accommodation closer to or inside Yosemite N.P. so to maximise people’s time in that location. And it was understood that the Vegas accommodation went from being on the strip on the 2016/17 trip over the same time to being on Freemont St on this trip.
The very first day in LA we wasted half the day listening to instructions and the rules of the trip, only to have them repeated two hours later on the drive to venice beach- which by the way you only get half an hour at. The hotel we stayed in San Fransisco was horrible. So much so that our trip leader warned us not to go out at night?! Trip leader poorly explained train system in new york.
Had to pay for a lot of things myself, i found that it was only accomodation and transfers from state to state that Topdeck paid for. Not many meals were included & the ones that were, werent very nice.
The tour guide and people were great, but I don't feel like it was value for money. I enjoyed the tour but spent more money than I had expected on Uber's.
Excellent accomodation. Excellent trip leader. Good transport. Would include more breakfast though.
I would like to travel with Topdeck again, just a pity the age limit is 39
Well worth the money spent.
Got to see a lot of the country in a short amount of time!
Well worth every penny. New York was incredible
The different places travelled and things to see were a once-in-a-lifetime experience. And all in less than 2 weeks! Definitely would recommend.
I loved everything we did and all the places we went! The only thing I didn't like was that it wasn't long enough! Vegas and San Fran was were my heart was at and I would have loved to stay there longer!
As mentioned, it was exactly what I wanted, and I now feel more comfortable organising future travels on my own.
Good value, had a great time and met some great people
Great value for money and covered the majors for me along with some awesome not so commercial places along the way
These were my tops bucket list cities and don't regret anything. I ensured I did everything I wanted to so I could experience them completely but can't wait to go back and show my fiancé these incredible places plus tick a few more off
Saw so much but nothing was rushed.
Needed more days in San Fran.
same as last question - i enjoyed not having to organise activities and hotels etc myself, less hassle this way!
Opportunity to see some of the major cities in America on both sides of the country.
Great tour that gave several days in each city. This was a good amount of time to not only get a general tour of the city, but to also book optional extra activities, as well as do some exploration on your own (or with friends you have made on the trip!).
Reasonable price and loved that everything was sorted for us. The optional activities were also well-priced.
This was an amazing trip. Seeing many places and eating varieties of food. Great trip leader made the whole experience amazing!
It was really well priced. Only wish we could've stayed in places just a little bit longer :)
Same as above , good trip with good experiences. Not a fan of being dogged by feedback emails . Already did this once.
A great trip - in hindsight I would have stayed on to do the east coast tour as well. Lots of optional extras. Something for everyone's budgets.
Too many couples on my trip and too broad of age group
Amazing! Great value. Just go!
Definitely loved this part of the tour as I did the American Dream. This part was very well planned and the tour guide Jordan was awesome and the perfect tour guide for the trip
Slightly pricey but worth it
The activities and inclusions were so much fun, though there were a few duds (cruising in San Fran in bad weather = seasickness!! Also, no trip to Alcatraz, really!??!) But overall had an amazing time!!
The package it's self was fantastic, I wish we'd had more time to explore Yosemite but we got to Mirror Lake which was a the top of my to see list there.
The tour took us to some of the best places in America, Venice Beach & Yosemite being the highlights of the trip. I thought the only downside was that the group of 45 was too large and I would have had a better time with a smaller sized group. Most of the people were rude compared to my last trip in Europe with topdeck. This trip is good for getting a sample of each city to know where you would like to return to in future.
Worth every cent, you wouldn't want to change a thing
Really pleased with service, and it was my second topdeck tour, so pleased with discount on it.
Great tour with a mix of national parks and cities. Excellent leader who was very knowledgeable.
Covered most of the bucket lists
However some places are too rush, which is quite tiring
The tour leader was great, well informed, friendly and always willing to help. The tour itself was great and covered all the needed sights.
The Stars and Stripes tour was a great way of getting to all the must see places on my USA list. It was a huge relief knowing we just jumped on a bus and were escorted around to where we needed to go. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is an American travel first timer when it can all seem rather overwhelming!
Great experience and perfect amount time in each destination
Loved this half of my tour
Excellent tour, excellent knowledgable guide, great choice of accommodation is perfect locations.
Loved it. Had the best time and made so many new friends. Life long friends that I will never forget. Got to see things I never dreamt possible and do it with the best bunch of people by my side.
This tour was great. Went to the major cities and we got to see everything.
Great tour operator (Tyler Meyer) - he was really pro us all getting the best value, time and experience together. Nicely done getting 30+ people on a plane from LA to NY as part of the fantastic tour.
Only thing that needs improve is the supplied meals
This tour was amazing. Covered all of the spots I wanted to go. Accommodation was amazing and our tour leader, - Abby, was amazing and cared about making our holiday as memorable as could be!
Perfect snapshot of all the places I wanted to go along the West coast
Honestly the highlights of the USA. Most amazing destinations. I wouldn't change a thing!
Brilliant way to get a small taste of the amazing cities that make the US great! From Vegas VIP party entrance to sailing the harbour at San Fran, to standing on top of the rock in NYC - it was amazing. Would go back tomorrow if I could.
I had the best trip with Top Deck! I had two amazing tour leaders Jenne & Julia!! Half way through our trip Jenee had a family emergency and was not able to continue with us but she made sure we had another leader just as amazing as she was! There was some hiccups along the way with our bus getting stuck but they were sorted out quickly and it just added to our adventure. I will never forget my Topdeck experience and all the amazing people I met!
This tour had everything I wanted to see in the States, as well as a few amazing extras that I didn't even think about. Top Deck has put a lot of work into showing the best of the US in only two weeks.
LA, Vegas, San Fran, NYC.. I liked being with a group and planned activities, and also the freedom to do whatever we chose. Our trip leader was very knowledgeable and full of energy!
I wish there was 1 extra night in Vegas & NY & remove North Carolina.
Excellent value for money!!
I think that the overall tours is very good and also the tour leaders. Although I did not like the fact that you join a group of people in the middle of their tour (and our tour was advertised separately).
It was not disclosed in the information provided when I applied for the tour.
The full itinerary was only explained when payment was made. Therefore you could not make a informed decision before.
The group of people you meet are just amazing :) couldn't ask for a better group of people!! Love my Topdeck family... will be touring with them again very soon
