Can you please let me know if Tourradar handles the tourist visa applications, or if I need to apply for the tourist visas myself?

Is the 18-39 age range strictly enforced?

Certainly! The hotels include HOTEL SMY LISBOA, Cliphotel Porto, ESPAHOTEL GRAN VIA, Silken Amara Plaza, and Hotel Viladomat.

Where is our initial meeting point in Lisbon?

If this tour states maximum age 39 is that definite?

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. We have up to 50 passengers on some of our trips and we do need to keep in mind that when they book their trip, they all expect to be travelling with people of the same age group (18-39 years). We're deeply sorry if you are unable to join the trip, but unfortunately, we must adhere to our company's promise.

I will be occupied on the 12th and 13th for work in Lisbon, and can only join on the morning of 14th. Will I be able to get a discount on those days please?

Unfortunately we are unable to offer discounts for days that you are unable to be on the tour.

How can I download my travel documents?

You can download your documents by creating/logging into your My Topdeck account and navigating to the 'Trip' tab, where you'll find your Trip Notes and Trip Voucher.

I truly enjoyed myself on the Deep Delve Spain and Portugal tour. The itinerary was fantastic. The most exotic destination was certainly Sintra and the most thrilling destination was San Sebastian. There is room for improvement in that a second night in Barcelona would be great. Monika our tour leader and Firmino the driver were great to be around. As a solo-traveler I felt secure and well informed along the journey. As an improvement, it would have been nice to have more time with Monika for more of our evening events. The accommodations were comfortable and most hotels were in great areas with the exception of Koisi hotel which is on a steep inclined hill and inaccessible by bus. Overall I had a great experience and made some new friends.Show more

After doing a similar style travel with Contiki, I had a good base to compare. Overall, the itinerary was good, but somewhat misleading on what's included. Top Deck needs to be clearer on what tours are included if there's a smaller group joining a larger one in a route. Those joining later were not included on some of the driving tours. Itinerary - Good, but expected to receive some maps on free days like how Contiki did. Suggestions were provided but received them late in some cities. Had to do my own research (essentially the whole purpose of me booking through a company is so that I wouldn't have to). Overall, the cities that we stopped to were great. Transportation - Great. The bus was clean, the driver was awesome (Michael). The driver really pulled through for us in cities to make sure we didn't have to walk too far and was super nice about luggage. Accommodation - Top Deck did a really good job in most cities with the hostels. They were decent and did not want to make you cringe for the most part. It was also well placed and within the city. Meals - The dinners were pretty good and they were great about dietary restrictions. Guide - Aileen was good, but not like the first guide I had on Contiki. Aileen was informative and clearly an experienced guide, but not as personable. While I was fine with her style, I felt others who are not as self-sufficient did not appreciate it as much. Her style of presenting info was also very fast and I understand for these types of trips it's a lot of info for a short period of time, but information gets lost and it's difficult to digest with others chatting away. This is probably due to her doing this specific tour for a while and the info is seamless to her at this point and the delivery feels more like a task more than anything. Overall, I think she did a good job. though. It's not easy leading 29+ (some reckless more than others) young people city to city.Show more
