Is there a single private room option on this trip?

There are no more spaces for a single room, however, we have had no one else book onto a twin room yet. This means it would be cheaper than a single occupancy room and if no one else books this room type before August departure, you will have the whole room to yourself.

Can you provide any guidance/assistance with booking flights for this tour?

If you are based in Australia, we can assist with booking flights for the tour from and to Australia. Unfortunately, we currently cannot book flights from other parts of the world.

Is the transfer included in the trip?

Can accommodations be made for a gluten-free diet?

Is there a reason or restriction for the Age Range of 18 to 32?

We are a youth travel brand who's tours have specifically been designed for travellers aged between 18 and 32 years old, with the average age of our customers being around 26. If you are outside of our age range am deeply sorry to say that you will be unable to join us as we must adhere to our company policy.

My husband and I are hoping to take our daughter on this trip. Our ages at time of travel would be 18, 37, and 41. Are these ages able to travel in this group?

As your TourRadar agent mentioned, unfortunately, as we are a youth touring brand, all passengers need to be aged between 18 and 39 at the time of travel.

Just wondering why there are no hotels listed for the Deep Dive Italy Tour. I understand things may change by then but can you provide the hotels you typically use especially in Rome and Venice?

We do currently in the process of locking in the suppliers for our 2026 dates. For a general idea of the accommodations we use, I would suggest looking at the 'Trip Notes' or itinerary available on our website for the Delve Deep: Italy 2024 dates. We also do not release the confirmed hotels of specific departures until you are booked and confirmed on a trip for security reasons.

I have a question looking at similar trip on tour radar ...in order to see allot of italy there is a drive on average of 90-125 km per day ...how much time wiill we be spending on bus/train/boat rides per day to see our next stop

This does depend on the day of the tour, but generally there would not be a drive longer than 3-4 hours on a specific day before the next stop. There are of course plenty of breaks included as well.

Do you have any dates available for September 2025

Our 2025 dates should be released around June this year. I can add your to our expressions of interest list so we can contact you when they become available if you like?

I am 44 years old. Does the age range mean I can't book this tour?

All Topdeck trips are designed for and aimed at the 18-39-year-old market. The average age on most of our trips is around 23-25 years old. Most of our trips are based on share accommodation, and our passengers expect to be sharing with fellow travellers of the same age.

Does full vaccination status mean 2 covid vaccines?

Yes, fully vaccinated means two doses. This is Topdeck's policy only, so please check with the local policies of the countries you are visiting as well.

This is my first time in Europe, solo traveling and doing a tour with TopDeck. I loved the guide, Paola, who was from Italy. The itinerary is great and allows you to see the major sites. I would make sure to plan for the free time if you want to go inside the major monuments, as they are not included in your tour. You will get to see them from the outside if that is satisfactory. The tour guide went out of her way to make sure everyone had plans during the free time and gave recommendations. Most of the time, she would offer to show us to a good location that lets you see an area that wasn't seen during the walking tour or have us join her for dinner at spots she loves. I went during the heat wave in Europe, so it was very hot, but she always made sure we had an opportunity to get water. I do not recommend a roller bag unless it's carry-on size or smaller, as many of the guests that had large rollers ended up losing a wheel to the cobblestone. If you do want a roller, I would make sure you are able to lift easily over your head, as many of the trains taken have space for large luggage, but you need to be able to lift it in the overhead storage. Particularly wide suitcases are not recommended, as on the smaller trains, the suitcase would not fit and would have to be on the luggage rack at the ends of the train car.Show more

Top Deck is an Australian owned company, so most of the participants are Australian. That's fine, just as an American a heads up would have been nice. Overall it is an interesting tour, they bait and switch the prices of the extra excursions though, on average they were about $30 more then what is listed and you have to pay the guide in cash. This does mean that you will have to hunt down an ATM if you didnt bring a lot of cash. Also everything goes off of Italian time, which can be any where from 15-30 minutes later then the scheduled time. So if you plan on doing anything independent of the group, try not to schedule it for right after the group activity is supposed to finish. Also the meals that are provided are very repetitive, it is all basic tomato red sauce with noodles, nothing all that different. There is also a big emphasis on partying and drinking, so if that is not your scene I would avoid this trip. All in all it was a good way to see a lot of Italy, but I will not be going on another TopDeck tour.Show more

For a long time myself and my now wife have wanted to travel to italy. We decided to head to italy for our honeymoon and we did the bravo italia topdeck tour. We were lucky enough to get Daisy as our tour guide. She was absolutely amazing. Knowledgeable, funny with her daily puns and fun facts and always ensuring we got perfect candid instagram shot. She really made us enjoy italy. I would reccomend anyone wanting to travel to italy to do this tour and if you get daisy as a guide if you have scored the jackpot.Show more

- TopdeckOperator•Written May 2026
  Topdeck does not offer arrival or departure transfers, so your son will need to get to and from the airport in Rome on his own.
- TopdeckOperator•Written May 2026
  All dietary requirements are taken into consideration, and the trip leader is aware, but as we don't prepare the food, we can not guarantee any cross-contamination.
- TopdeckOperator•Written May 2026
  Topdeck advised us that there are currently two solo travellers booked into the single rooms on this trip. That being said, there could be other solo travellers booked into the shared room.
- TopdeckOperator•Written May 2026
  Because of the different included activities, there is not a set list of free time, but generally we aim for the passengers to have at least 24 hrs of free time per day and up to 48 hrs in major cities.
