    Everyone on the tour was very nice as well. Would definitely do something similar again would love to go back and revisit some of the places we went to.

  • Alyssa Be April 2023

    As said previously so much knowledge was shared with the group, everything was done so we had a good time. Really pleased with everything that was done

    I loved this trip, it was a great way to see lots of places in only a few weeks. I enjoyed all of the optional activties that were avaliable in the different places. Carloyn and Fawzi where so helpful, nice and always provided fun and entertainment. Carloyn had so many good tips and tricks and was always avaliable for anything. I enjoyed all of the optional activites that were avaliable for this tour too! I do however wish that we did have a little more time in vienna than just the afternoon.

    This was a trip of a lifetime, we saw so many sights and I made so many new friends during the journey. The coach was comfortable, we were well informed of arrival times and itinerary details to plan any extra activities.

  • Gillian Mi January 2023

    Fantastic itinerary- lots of days travelling but well worth it to see such a big variety of countries.

    I loved that we visited so many places in one trip. I also loved that there were not many tourists because of the winter season. I would definitely do another winter tour.

  • Anonymous February 2019

    A great mix of time to yourself to explore, with arranged activities. I could focus on having a great time with my tour mates - our amazing bus driver and tour leader taking care of the rest. Amazing locations good mix of fascinating history, beautiful scenery and great food.

    A taste of every city so you know what you don't like and what you want to see again

  • Hayley B August 2018

    Perfect time of year to visit the countries we did. Learnt so much about each city and country. Enjoyed the sun in some places and the snow in others. An amazingly put together trip that covered so much for the perfect amount of time

  • Teniele G March 2018

    It’s was amazing I just couldn’t adjust to the temperature

  • Madison H March 2018

    Great locations and time, unique local experiences

    Tour guide knew the history of everything, went to so many amazing places & made a lot of new friends.

  • Sophie K March 2018

    Such a well organised and planned trip that made every guest feel comfortable and at ease. Loved it

  • Katelyn L March 2018

    So worth the money! I thought 24 days would be too long of a trip, but I found a family in the end and didn't want the trip to finish. I got to see a little of every place. I will definitely recommend the trip to my friends and strangers and anyone willing to listen in the future.

  • Anonymous March 2018

    Overall the trip was great. Really wish the travel time on the bus was less or we caught trains to the cities to cut out long travel days. Included dinners were good but I was so sick of eating bread, ham and chess for breakfast. Literally drove me crazy. I think Topdeck need to look at updating their accommodation options, especially in Switzerland (tiny rooms for four people, paying for hot showers and having to walk from the cabin to the showers was freezing and annoying) also in Rome (it’s good that there is public transport but not when the traffic so bad it would take 2 hours to catch the bus, ending up walking an hour in the rain to get the stupid campsite).
    The walking tours were informative, I loved learning about the history and interesting facts.

  • Heather E March 2018

    Great overview of Europe. Beautiful winter wonderland! I didn't think it was too fast paced.

  • Henry D March 2018

    It’s really worth it. Yes it was a fast paced tour, like a whole day per country. But for the price, you can’t beat it.

  • Anonymous March 2018

    Great intinerary, good mix of western and Eastern Europe

  • Courtney E March 2018

    Felt like a dream within a dream. Perfect

    Fantastic itinerary with two nights at most places. The included extras were great value for money and the optional extras were excited and catered for a rage of people!

  • Nicholas J March 2018

    The must see sights of Europe were all included. Easy way to see everything!!

  • Elizabeth H February 2018

    Got what I paid for which is exactly what you want when you go on a holiday

  • Gabriella C February 2018

    I love Topdeck - I will 100% go on another

    Perfect for whoever wants a small taste of each country! With one day in each place it allowed me to see and experience many places. I like to think of it as a try-before-you-buy trip, I know where I want to revisit for next time!

    The trip was an incredible experience -made possible by the amazing team of Tim our trip leader and Stefan our driver. We were given enough free time to explore each city, with some incredible included activities and optional extras.

    I had an excellent trip as I got to see many places in such a short amount of time. My trip leader was very passionate about the history of each place we went to and I felt like I had an intimate knowledge of every location I went to.

  • Jamie F January 2018

    I felt like this trip was exactly and more of what I expected. From the sights, to the history to the extra activities, it blew me away with amazement.

  • Jane F January 2018

    The Winter Spirit visited some magical, interesting, emotional and wonderful places.

  • Shawn B January 2018

    It was possibly the best time of my life made lots of new friends and experienced so many new things along the way.

  • Bethanie H January 2018

    I loved this trip! But one concern myself and a few others had was the expense of going up Jungfrau in Switzerland. It was nearly $200 Australian and when the weather was bad sky diving wasn’t an option. So possibly, maybe some more affordable options can be noted or recommended in case this happens. But besides that, not a single fault!

    Good overview but difficult to really see everything in each city. Many late nights and early mornings in order to fit all those cities in

  • Mackenzie H May 2017

    Super rad group of people so many awesome destinations!! However, our core group was so tight knit that picking up others in different city ruined the vibe.

  • Caitlin T May 2017

    I loved the trip, travelling with a group was a lovely experience, however the trip leader ruined it. I decided very quickly to avoid him and make the best of it on my own.

    The trip itinerary was amazing but once meeting other people we found out some had paid almost $1,000 less than others which was extremely disappointing since you advertise to buy early for a better price.

    This was worth what you paid however they dont always explain all the extra costs eg extra activities

  • Gemma W April 2017

    My only concern was the reduced amount of free time we were given. Meals were planned for majority of nights and therefore the cost of the tour was drastically increased.

  • Aaron M April 2017

    Places were spectacular enjoyed every minute.

  • Anonymous April 2017

    I would and have recommended topdeck tours to friends and family. I had such an amazing time with a group of people i can now call friends. Our tour leader (Melisa) and driver (Andrea) were both amazing, super helpful and knowledgable. The group tour really helped us get into places that would be difficult to get into travelling alone and they knew whats good to do so every activity is a blast.

  • James V April 2017

    Fantastic value for money, stress free and fun 24/7

    Spectacular honestly the best month of my life couldn't have been better

  • Kate M April 2017

    Excellent value for money, excellent experiences, gives enough free time for you to do what you want but also heaps of optional activities if you don't know what to do. Amazing tour leader as well that made the trip 100 times better.

  • Sara E April 2017

    Highly recommend! professional, well planned and overall awesome!

  • Taneeke M April 2017

    Perfect amount of time to always be on your feet seeing new places, not too long or short and showed some fantastic places in Europe

  • Jemma B April 2017

    The included extras were really good and included food was at a high level

  • Damian Y April 2017

    Everything was awesome the only real thing that was a bit disappointing was the set menu the first night in Budapest - the restaurant was highly over priced in comparison to surrounding areas and we waited a long time to eat (easily over an hour). Felt like they were taking advantage of us being in a large group and obviously tourists.

  • Anonymous April 2017

    I would not have chosen a different tour. The chance to see so many different places in such a short amount of time was incredible. I would 100% do a similar trip again.

  • Rhiannon Mc October 2016

    Was well worth the money, all activities were a great experience and didn't feel like I was ripped off

  • Suzy Bo October 2016

    The Winter Spirit trip was the perfect way to test out Europe and get a feel for which countries I would like to go back to. 2 nights in each place was perfect because it meant there was a whole day of exploring the city. The optional activities were great because it gave you something to do and a bit of a kick start to knowing the city as well as ticking off so many bucket list items.
    The hostel type accommodation was quite good as they were very good standard hostels. The hotel upgrade in Venice was awesome, they had really nice rooms.

    This trip gave you a little taste of everything. Even when I injured myself and left the trip early Kieran and marek were sending me regular photos so I felt I was still apart of the team.

  • Shannon Pr October 2016

    Pretty on par with price. It was affordable for my girl friends and I. Buffet breakfasts were a life saver AND only having to organise our own dinner ever second night also made things enjoyable and easy on the budget. The amount of days we were gone- and the total amount that we spent were incredible. Loved it. Very cost effective

  • Mitchell Ge October 2016

    Throughly enjoyed the trip and the hostels were well placed.

  • Korina Ko October 2016

  • Anonymous October 2016

    I found many of the meals lacking, though the establishments were pleasant. The "day stops" were more like an hour, which I found highly misleading and annoying as most stores and attractions were impossible to see in such a short amount of time *even if they were open).

    Winter Spirit is a great trip. Winter is a fantastic time to explore Europe. Tourists are low in numbers and things are cheaper. Would recommend it to anyone who can cope with the weather.

  • Amanda St October 2016

    Lower cost tour due to accomodation (some was dodgy - most was clean and tidy) but included everything I wanted and more. The choices to participate or not made the Winter Spirit tour a great package I was about to build upon.

  • Guanhong Li October 2016

    For a first timer of Europe and travelling solo (at least, having arrived alone, knowing nobody at all), the tour turned out to be a really fun way to get my bearings and meet a few new friends, before setting off alone again. Note though, I was only on the March on Rome tour, which was basically the first 9 days of the Winter Spirit.

  • Carolyn September 2016

    Covered a lot of different places so there was something for everyone. You could have as much fun as you could handle, or just take it easy for a bit of a break. Deciding to skydive over Lauterbrunnen instead of taking the train up the Jungfrau was THE BEST IDEA EVER!!! (even if my instructor did break his leg upon our landing - nobody's fault I assure you!!)
    This tour has a big focus on WW2 in the middle of it, so it can be quite overwhelming to be saturated in all the consequences of war, but very eye-opening at the same time. While it wasn't enjoyable as such, it is definitely something everyone has to see in their lifetime.

    I loved the itinerary but didn't realise that it was part of a larger trip. This made it really hard to connect with people before the trip departed, especially since I was travelling on my own. I was also a little bit disappointed that I missed out on getting the top deck jumpers as a result of this even though I was told I would get one. This absolutely did not put a stain on the trip though, the places we visited were incredible and it was just the right amount of time.

    Very young, more like contiki. We had a great time however would have preferred an over 21 (even 25) crowd. The tour itself was great, large variety of accommodatin and sites seen. We would not go through TopDeck again purely because of the age of the majority of passengers. Other than that though, well organised and value for money. We felt bad for the tour guides having to babysit the people on the bus!

My greatest highlight was the Wieliczka Salt Mine (Poland) & Auschwitz-Birkenau visit (Poland). You would not want to miss out!
