PIOTR WAS THE BEST TOUR LEADER I HAD ON MY EUROPEAN SUMMER TRIP! Piotr was so knowledgeable and passionate when we went to a new town or country and gave us all something to really appreciate other than getting drunk! He was incredibly funny and caring for each of us as individuals - a tour leader turned friend! Piotr deserves all the recognition a tour leader could receive.

"Good morning everybody" - the soothing sound of Piotr's voice through the bus microphone in the morning. I can't think of anyone more fun, knowledgeable and charasmatic. Piotr largely contributed to everyone having the best topdeck trip they could've and I can't think of anyone more worthy of recognition.

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

My top deck tour was called east meets west. It was the best tour I have ever been on! Had such a great time and all the activities we did in each place were perfect and exactly what I was wanting to see and do. Our tour guide Anthony was AMAZING!! I could not of asked for a better tour guide and he really made my trip for me! I highly recommend top deck and hopefully you are as lucky as me to get Anthony as your tour guide!

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.
