The tour was amazing! Thanks to Hannah from Global Journeys who made the process of booking and paying super easy. She had such quick replies to emails and the experience was great. The European Wonder tour itself with Topdeck was amazing! Great places in such limited time. The coach was nice and clean all the time and the tour guide Laura and bus driver Carlos were the best. Thanks for making my Europe trip so memorable!

I had a great time on the Topdeck Winter Wonder tour. Our tour director and coach driver were both really friendly and had a great sense of humour. It really set a great tone for the trip. The hotels were better than I expected. While they are advertised as 2 and 3 star with disclaimers about European standards being different to Australian standards, I found them to be on par with 3 star rooms in Australia. With the exception of the hotel in Florence (limited hot water), I was happy and comfortable in each of the hotels. The lodge on Mt. Rigi was awesome! The hotels weren't always close to the city centre but they were close to transport and there were often drop offs and pick ups made by the driver.
The structure of the tour was good. We had two nights nights in each of the main cities and were given free time to explore. I really enjoyed having free time to explore on your own (or with newly made friends!). The one nights stops (Heidelberg and Salzburg) were a little more difficult to explore given the time restrictions but if you have an idea of the places you would like to see before you arrive you'll be fine.
There were a range of optionals on offer and each of these were worth the money paid. I particularly enjoyed the t-shirt which we designed on the bus - a great momento of the trip with everyone's name :) I had a great time on the tour. I appreciated the structure where we had a tour of each city and then given time to explore at our own pace. The people on my tour were mostly couples and while they enjoyed a drink at the bar they weren't out to party hard every night.
The bus trips were great with games and activities for the longer drives. It was a great way to see all the major sights. If you want to explore the main cities of Europe with a mixture of guided tours, activities and time to explore on your own then this tour is definitely worth considering.

I went on this tour very unsure of what to expect. Turns out it was one of the most amazing experiences in my life! The tour guide was great with an extensive knowledge of the places we visited and their history and also very friendly and fun. The tour itself was a great balance between group activities and free time to explore. Being on a tour with fellow travelers allowed the beginning of some great friendships and a trip I'll never forget!

Overall the Top Deck tour was an excellent experience with good standard of accomodation, great staff and fellow travellers asnd a well planned itinerary. It would not be possible to see so much for the same price and the same quality in such a short period if I tried to organise this personally - so defiinitely a good option.
