All questions
  • L

    Lynda

    Asked on June 20th, 2024

    What would be the reason that the cost per day is so much higher for this tour? Comparing it to other Top Deck European tours.

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • TopdeckOperatorWritten June 2024

      The main reason for the price increase will be because all accommodation on our Play & Pause tours will be in hotels with the option of twin, double or single rooms (maximum 2 people per room) rather than hostels which are used on our Get Social tours and will have 4-6 people sharing a dorm room. The Play & Pause tours also have a smaller group size of 28 compared to a maximum group size of 48 on the Get Social tours.

  • C

    Catherine

    Asked on May 30th, 2024

    Are travelers around 60 years old welcome on the tour?

    Age Range
    • TopdeckOperatorWritten May 2024

      Topdeck trips are designed for travelers aged between 18 and 39 years old, with the average age of our customers being 24. Unfortunately, travelers over 39 cannot join our tours due to company policy.
