    Johnny went above and beyond for his travellers. He forms genuine bonds with people and creates an environment that you can truely relax and enjoy a trip of a life in. Our driver BoBo was first class and genuinely great person, and awesome driver as well. These two were an amazing team. We count ourselves lucky to have joined the tour with Johnny and Bobo!

    Anthony (Ant) was the best tour guide I girl could ask for. He always offered up great ideas for things to do and places to eat in every city. All the add-ons he organised were very fun and ran smoothly. He was always willing to have a good time with us. I feel like I've gained a friend for life, thanks Ant! Emily

    This trip was amazing, I had previously done a Grand European in 2014 and joined this tour after doing a Adriatic Sunsets, and although every trip was extremely enjoyable, Monika was the most knowledgeable leader I have come across, and although this trip had much more difficulties arise than my other ones, Monika was amazing at dealing with issues that arose and was always able to make sure everyone was on time and having fun. It is true that without a tour leader that is well organized and able to encourage unity amongst the group, the trip wouldn't be as enjoyable. Monika was able to turn the bus into a family and helped friendships that I hope will remain to flourish.

    Such an amazing tour! We got to see so much in a short space of time, and the experience was only made more amazing by our incredible tour guide Monika. She went above and beyond what her job requires of her... Organising extra activities for the group, booking dinners and having incredible knowledge of every place we visited. Thanks Topdeck and Monika.
