UK & Ireland: Panoramas & Pubs

The absolute best experience ever! Everything was so well organised and I met the most beautiful group of girls that I’m now so lucky to call my friends. If you’re thinking about it, just do it! It’s so worth it and so much fun. Special shoutout to Kate and GG for being the best trip leader and driver ever!

I enjoyed my top deck experience of the uk I seen so much more with our guide than I would of seen alone

This trip was excellent. Such a good way to see so much of the UK and Ireland in a short amount of time. Great variety and got to see all the best places. Our trip leader Kate was so knowledgeable and passionate about the area and always provided amazing recommendations for each stop. If you are thinking about booking, take the plunge! You won’t regret it.

Our tip leader was amazing. She was very relaxed which kept everyone else relaxed. We left places later in the morning which meant we had some time to ourselves in the morning to chill out. We did notice that most shops did not open until late in the morning. This meant we missed out on a few things because of the times we left and arrived at places. Our trip leader and bus driver were both very accommodating in this and did their best to ensure we did not miss out on what we were looking forward to. All the hotels were really nice considering the price we paid for our trip. However, they we very costly when it came to laundry services. It would be nice if we had a little bit of notice where the best places are to do laundry, so more money can be spent on important things. The new topdeck app was ok when it worked. I miss being able to reach out to other travellers before the trip starts just to ease that solo traveller anxiety. There were glitches in the app when attempting to purchase optional activities saying they had not been booked when i had booked. It would be good to see all accomodation on the app and have sections for travellers to be able to add notes on where they would like to go. This did not affect our trip. Extra activities that were not mentioned in the itinerary were all absolutely awesome. Our trip leader did a really good job with these and you could tell the suppliers were really happy to have us. We loved the axe throwing activities as well as the canoeing across the aqueduct in Llangollen. Overall, fantastic experience. Will be back again.

The trip itself was amazing! Our trip leader and driver were incredibly friendly and helpful, would go out of their way to help and make you feel welcome! They were both incredibly knowledgeable about where we were going, how to get around and the best spots to see, eat and drink! The locations that we went to were amazing! Truely beautiful countries and locals! I just wish we stayed in a few of them a bit longer.. Our accommodation however was a bit hit and miss, about 90% of the time it was great, but there were a few places that were not very accessible and were hard to navigate. There was a big mix up with the booking we had made, in which I had to share a bed with the person I booked with.. Upon learning this, we notified our trip leader who was determined to get it fixed. But I still had to go a notify Top Deck on my own to get anything fixed properly and to be able to get help for the Trip Leader to get anything done about it. In the end, we managed to get it sorted. The Top Deck app was also very glitchy and almost all of us on the trip could t access our bookings on it to sign up for the extra activities!
