    This Topdeck tour was unlike anything I have ever done before. The sights and locations were incredible. The accommodations were great. The food was amazing. But what really made the trip so outstanding was the staff. Malik was the best driver that made me feel safe and taken care of the whole trip. Jude was truly the best, most energetic, caring, knowledgeable, and fun guide I could’ve ever asked for. I would highly recommend a Topdeck trip like this to anyone looking to travel through the Balkans!
