Asked on January 18th, 2025Do you do any kind of discounts for nurses?
- TopdeckOperator•Written January 2025

Bianca
Asked on February 4th, 2023Are the activities too rigorous for older adults? It is difficult to tell from the itinerary.
- TopdeckOperator•Written February 2023
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).

Asked on May 19th, 2022We were interested in re-booking our trip to NZ. We wish to use our credit and book for December. If by any chance the country is unable to take travellers again due to Covid-19, would we be able to get an extension?
- TopdeckOperator•Written May 2022
Yes, if something Covid-19 related where to happen in NZ we could definitely extend them out (fingers crossed this won't be the case).

Traveler•Written October 2022I was wondering if I could carry my credit into the new year? My partner and I do not have any time to take a trip this year.
- TopdeckOperator•Written October 2022
We can extend your travel credit for book and commence travel by 30 June 2023.
- TopdeckOperator•Written November 2022
We can defiantly get you both on this trip, however it is a non guarantee departure which means we need a minimum of 10 people to join this trip and currently only one person is booked. This means this tour may not go ahead.
- G
Gail
Traveler•Written November 2022Would I be able to extent my credit to July for that trip?
- TopdeckOperator•Written November 2022
As long as you book a trip before June 30th 2023 you can use the credit. So you can book any available tour with this credit!

Stephanie
Asked on May 8th, 2022What is included in tour price and how much would you recommend to bring with me? And are flights on top of tour price?
- TopdeckOperator•Written May 2022
We include all of the travelling and accommodation while on the tour, we don't include flights to and from the trip unfortunately. In regards to luggage, the baggage allowance is only 1x main bag with the dimensions of 70cms (height) x 45cms (width) x 25cms (depth). This bag gets stored under the coach when it's a travel day and it can be a suitcase or a backpack - whatever is best for you. Please also ensure that the weight does not exceed 20 KGS. If your dimensions are little over that is fine, as we allow a few extra centimetres leeway here and there.
