This trip was a good mix of active cities and smaller beach towns. Our tour guide, Chloe, was a great resource that you could rely on. You’ll definitely want to book all the optional activities so there is always something to do. Also, plan to bring more than one bathing suit. Transportation from city to city could have been improved (lunch and bathroom stops should be pre-determined times and destinations; there should be preplanned shuttles to the hotel in the Bay of Kotor). Make sure you research the cities ahead of time for their hours of operation; you might end up at a spot where everything is closed on a Sunday. All in all, these are some cities I’m happy I visited, and Topdeck was a great way to see them and make new friends at the same time. (Beware the heat in those summer months!)

The trip was absolutely amazing, the perfect mix of fun days out but also chill time to do your own things. All the places were amazing and well worth the while.

This trip itinerary was the best! So many hidden gems and very well paced. I wish we had more time in Lake Bled and Zadar, but overall everything was amazing. Jude was a passionate and knowledgeable tour guide, Malek was a great driver and got us through the borders quickly with no fuss.

The Balkans are so beautiful and I loved exploring with Topdeck. I wish we had two nights in every stop!

Absolutely amazing trip seeing places I would never travel Toby myself. Our tour guide was amazing, and it really was the perfect balance of fun activities, learning about the history of each place, and free time to explore.

I was very lucky to be on the first edition of this tour in May 2024! It was great introduction to all the countries along the coast between Italy and Greece.

Itinerary was the perfect mix of capital cities and seaside towns, with plenty of options for swimming, city walks, and visiting historic sites.

Our guide Jude was passionate and knowledgeable about all the countries we visited, and about being a Topdeck guide in general and this really helped everyone get the most out of the tour!
