The saddest part was when the trip ended. I would recommend Carolyn to anyone who looks to have a great time and experience on holiday.
Can’t wait to go on my next Topdeck and hope that Carolyn will be my next trip leader. Appreciate everything you have done for me Carolyn! Thanks again!

She’s an all in one: a scholar, teacher, food connoisseur, safety officer, planner and artist all in the package of an amazing tour guide and trip leader.
Additionally, she was very personable and easily fit into any groups and forming amazing rapport with each and every person on the tour!
It was the best time of my life and it has given me the travel bug! I want to go back to all the destinations all over again only for longer!

She shared about the history of the cities, organized the tour info with beautiful drawings, joined in the fun and even organized a boat trip in Pula. There was a serious heatwave when we were in Italy and she upgraded us to cabin in two cities. Very thoughtful and caring. Our cook Vetas and driver Marian were so cool too and were part of us. Missed Vetas's cooking!
I would suggest adding Vienna in the itinerary to make this epic Europe trip complete since we were so close to it.
Also suggest giving an option to upgrade from tent to cabin in advance for those who need it.
Overall it's a fun and unforgettable trip!

By the end of the trip everyone loved Carolyn & didn't want to leave. She puts 110% in everyday even when she is probably tired & sick like the rest of us. Lots of love to Carolyn going above & beyond for us all.

She is very organised and plans comprehensively for each location on tours.
She was able to deal with unexpected situation which arose on our trip efficiently and in busy times never seemed overwhelmed either.
Carolyn has also spent much of her career studying history and was more than happy to provide excellent additional tours in specific locations.
Our group consisted of ages 18-34years and the tour and Carolyn catered for all of us and made a strong bond within the group.
Highly Recommened,
Paul

Couldn’t have asked for a better trip leader. So lovely, helpful and an all round really beautiful person. If there was a 6 star option I would have clicked it twice. Absolute legend.
