Play & Pause: Central Europe Highlights

The perfect trip to see the major sights and attractions of Europe efficiently. Our Trip leader showed us how everything works in a new country and had the best recommendations. Highly recommend this trip!

The whole trip was amazing - everything was organised down to the minuite which was a nice relief to take the pressure off planning and organising for a few weeks. The included activities were amazing, and the optional extras were well worth the money. (please note lots require you to pay in cash so bring lots of that with you.) it’s a great taste for so many different countries across Europe and gives you ideas of where you might want to go back to explore more in the future. My trip leader Dylan was fun, understanding, knowledgeable and caring. He was able to further explain information when requested, and passed on his personal experiences when he had them of his own.

Highly recommend if you’re going by yourself. You meet great people. The tour leader was great at showing us how to navigate the city before letting us explore for ourselves. Both the driver and leader had so many great suggestions for all the places too!

Best way to see Europe especially if first time travelling there. Met some of the best people and made the best memories! Michelle and Gareth were our guides, they went above and beyond for our group, making sure everyone was safe and enjoying themselves, they were incredible !!

I had genuinely had the best time of my life travelling across Europe with TopDeck and would 100% do it again and even recommend it to friends/family. Our trip leader, Emma, really made the trip not only feel like home away from home but, she was also giving us such good history lessons on the coach before arriving to places. It was amazing to be in such a welcoming environment to create new friendships that I know will last even after the trip has finished! And a shout out to Sean our bus driver for getting us to all our destinations safely as well as putting up with our singing and chatter :)

My Central European Highlights Tour was absolutely incredible! Trip leader Cass and Coach Driver Jaka were so skilled, knowledgeable and genuinely cared about making sure my entire group got the most out of our trip. Definitely will be travelling with Topdeck again!

What an absolute blast! So many countries and places to see all in one. Kate, our trip lead was incredible, she was knowledgeable about each country and place we visited as well as always gave us some tips on how to get around and communicate with the locals. Ioannis, our driver, was brilliant. Explained everything we needed to know about the coach and road rules. Was always safe and punctual. All-in-all, just an awesome trip!

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Top Deck. Our Guide Sabia and our driver Slaven were incredible! Couldn't have asked for a better team to take us through Europe. It was a trip of a lifetime and I reccomend it for everyone. Can't wait till our next trip!

I seen so much in so little of time it’s amazing the value for money u get on this trip

Had a great trip with Topdeck! The Trip Leader Claire and Driver Chris were absolutely amazing. They really took care of everything and were such lovely people. It was our first time in Europe and we couldn't imagine doing this trip by ourselves. Topdeck did all the planning of events, travel and accommodation so all we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves. Claire taught us a lot about each country's history and the best places to go. We had a lot of fun! Only thing is that there's a fair amount of time on the bus, but that was expected doing over 10 countries in 3 weeks. They made it fun though with lots of games and getting to know each other. I highly recommend Topdeck if you want to see Europe.

The trip was great, we got very lucky with an amazing Trip Leader, Carolyn. It's quite fast paced but you cover heaps. The only down side was the accommodation. The quality was under average of most of them and they were quite far from the main centre so we had to train or uber quite a lot.

This was a trip of a lifetime great people amazing tour! Had the best trip leader and amazing bus driver

Carolyn, our tour guide, was amazing

Highly recommend Topdeck. Really enjoyed the Play and Pause Central European Highlights tour. Shoutout to Nicole,Jaka and Claire. Lasting memories,new friendships and really enjoyed getting to tick off 9 countries over the 19 days. Will definitely do another Topdeck tour in the future.

Had an amazing time which it was soo much easier following a tour guide through countries we were unfamiliar with and pointed out all the things to do on each country ⭐️

This is a really fun trip! Got to spend the 19 days with some great people including our excellent tour guide Monik and bus driver Tomasz. Both Monik and Tom went the extra mile to enhance our trip, including driving us into Rome for the walking tour to avoid a long walk to the station in the heat, and organising extra activities such as the private water taxi in Venice and lunch at a Tuscan Vineyard. Although we only spent two nights in most places, it did not feel overly rushed. Guided walking tours or bus drives on the first day for the majority of destinations were a great way to familiarise ourselves and plan out what to do on our following free day. The accomodation was comfortable and generally quite conveniently located in terms of public transport and city centres. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. As a first time solo traveler it was a great way to meet new people and see new places without the stress of figuring out how to get to each destination.

Was a good way to explore Europe in 19 days and to see all the history in each place was amazing and exploring each place with your new mates also helped with the experience. The tour leader and bus driver were amazing and made the trip even better

Awesome trip Very well planned with a great tour guide Monik and excellent driver Tomasz. There was enough time to get a taste of every stop. Mid size group with enough time to see heaps of Europe

We had the most amazing time on this trip! Nicole and George were awesome! Nicole was so knowledgeable and organised. She made sure we always knew what to expect and organised lots of amazing extras for us. It was great having the free days in each city. Nicole gave us heaps of recommendations so we were really making the most of our time. Group dinners were great, they often included a starter, main and dessert. The only things I would say is most of the meals were pork and a few of the hotels were a bit far out. However we were given a few transport tickets in each city which was a nice touch!

Best thing I have ever done! Dylan and Sean(Tour Guides) were so fantastic, so insightful and showed us everything. A+++++

Fantastic way to taste Europe highlights and see what you'd like to come back for more of! Was great to have an optional itinerary where you can say yes/no to things or choose to arrange your own day. Our tour guide, Jake was a legend and made sure we had the best inside info on where to go and where to avoid. I'd go on any trip where he is the guide. The only thing that stops this from being 5 star, is that the hotels weren't great. There were about 3-4 that were good or great but the rest were below adequate. Unfortunately we had 3 dirty rooms and the staff didn't fix the issues despite us following up several times. One of them also wasn't ready when we arrived and we lost a couple of hours of our day waiting around for it. It's small things but when it's recurring, it gets really frustrating and wastes lots of time to sort out. It would be good to see topdeck review their hotels a bit better and try to find ones with better service. Otherwise, wouldn't change a thing about the actual route or itinerary.

This trip was an overall awesome experience! It gives you a great taste of Europe! Overall accomodations were good. Various activities were great! The trip leader Jake was exceptional. His knowledge and recommendations of things to do in each country was great! I got to meet some awesome people, made new friends (all of which were from the same country as me) Highly recommend this trip if it’s your first time in Europe or if you’re looking for a fun holiday!

Topdeck was one of the best decisions i’ve ever made! Our tour guide Jake and bus driver Adam were absolutely incredible. I have made lifelong mates and will cherish the memories that we made forever! Would 100% recommend!

Great trip, Highly recommend my trip leader Hayley and the bus driver Alex.

5 stars for both Nicole and Ioannis - warm personalities, highly motived, provide amazing recommendations and they timed everything perfectly! Regards Hemi

Fantastic experience
