European countries no longer require proof of COVID vaccinations. Is your company updating its COVID vaccination requirements?

We have dropped our COVID vaccine policy from the 1st of January, so no longer require our passengers to be vaccinated to travel with us.

Can i join from France instead of England?

You absolutely can leave start the tour in Paris instead of London. As the first day of the tour is mainly just travelling from London to Paris, people do tend to opt to start in Paris instead!

Is there an option for paying in a few instalments or has it to be payed in full all at once? if this is an option would it be possible if I could get sent a payment plan.

Topdeck do not to payment plans. The option would be just to pay the initial deposit and then the final payment is due 60 days prior to the trip departure date.

Can older than 39 go?

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). Unfortunately we are unable to accept anyone outside of this age range.

I have Schengen Visa, but don't have Visa for England

We are not trained in visas so unfortunately I will be unable to assist you with any questions around visas. If you weren't able to travel to England, you can also opt to start the trip on day two in Paris

When and where does the tour end?

This tour ends at approximately 9 pm at Generator Hostel in London depending on traffic conditions, however, you also have the option to finish the tour at 8 am in Amsterdam, instead of taking the complimentary return transfer to London. Please be aware that the drop-off point is subject to change until your final documents are released.

When and where does the tour start?

The first day of this tour generally starts from Generator Hostel in London at 6 am. Due to the early start, we recommend arriving at least one day prior to the tour, so you have time to settle in and make sure you do not miss the departure! You also have the option to meet up with your group at approximately 5 pm in Paris on the first day of the tour if you wish. Please be aware the starting point is subject to change until your final documents are released.

Do you arrange airport transfers?

Unfortunately, airport transfers are not available for this tour and you will, therefore, have to make your own way from and to the airport.
