Topdeck Review

Some tour companies are just ideal for women who are travelling alone. If you are aged 18 to 30 and looking for an authentic and fun trip, Topdeck Europe is perfect for solos. Read our Topdeck review to see if it's for you.

From festivals, city breaks and tours in Europe, North America, Africa, Australia and New Zealand, here’s why we believe Topdeck are solo female-friendly. 

“They are really well organised with a great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend for a first-time solo traveller,” – Monique Jackson (solo female traveller).

Topdeck Europe

Why take a tour.

I wanted to do a quick tour of Europe, as I haven't been before and wanted to see the highlights before moving to Asia for a few years. So traveling with a tour group seemed better, as they are experienced in express tours. Usually, I would do the tour by myself, but Topdeck had a really great special at the time when I was booking.

Why Topdeck?

I chose Topdeck, specifically, however, not just because of the good price I was able to get, but based on their reputation as well. Comparing them with Contiki, they are known to be less focused on the party scene and more about making the trip accommodating for all kinds of travellers. I prefer going to museums and other cultural sites when traveling, rather than clubbing, so this was a big attraction.

Positives and Negatives of Taking a Topdeck Tour

There were many positives of the tour; really good organisation with a fantastic trip leader (she's been giving tours for years, so was very knowledgeable of every city we went to, with great tips on local eateries to try). The accommodation was also of a very good quality, ranging from good hostels as well as a hotel in one case.

Is it Good Value?

For me, the value was definitely good and totally worth it. There are many included meals on the trip. We also had an extra city added to our tour – we had made good timing on the drive from Switzerland to Venice, so the driver and the trip leader took us to Verona for the afternoon and showed us around.

Who Are These Adventures For?

Topdeck is great, as it welcomes all kinds of travellers. Its age range is larger than that of Contiki, so the group can also be a bit more mature and laid back. There are, however, also those who like to party, so you should be able to find other travellers who share your interests. As a solo traveler, this was great.

If you're feeling uncomfortable or unsafe when traveling, touring within a group such as this is definitely beneficial.

Who Are They Not For?

I guess if you like taking things slow or if you are a spontaneous traveler, you might not like the strict schedule that these trips tend to have. For instance, I wouldn't use a tour company (Topdeck or any other) for traveling to places like SEA, where it's a lot more fun to have a flexible itinerary. * Check rates and availability for Topdeck Tours

Switzerland Tours: Things to Do

Take a trip to the ‘Top of Europe’

A trip on the Jungfrau Railway is an absolute must when you’re in the Swiss Alps. Grab your ticket and head up, up and away through stunning mountain landscape and get ready to say ‘wow’ 100 times over. Once at the top of to Jungfraujoch, you’ll be at a dizzying height of 3,454 metres above sea level with views over the Aletsch Glacier and beyond. Cameras at the ready!

Explore Swiss mountains and waterfalls

From Rhine Falls to the famous Toblerone mountain (aka Matterhorn), Switzerland knows how to serve up those epic nature views. Whether you’re a hiking pro or just keen for a quick walk in the fresh mountain air, Switzerland is where it’s at. In postcard-perfect Lauterbrunnen, stroll through the valley and take in the sheer cliffs and waterfalls. Spoiled for choice, much?

Visit Lucerne

Does Switzerland get much better than beautiful Lucerne? You be the judge on a trip to this lakeside city as you see the famous sites, including the historic wooden Chapel Bridge dating back to the 14 th century. Make sure you leave enough time to try the finest cheese and chocolate around.

Welcome to Switzerland

Alpine adventures abound in one of the world's favorite year-round playgrounds. There is nothing better than climbing through the Alps by cogwheel train to the Jungfraujoch or the Matterhorn at "the top of Europe" as the view takes your breath away. Savor cultural delights from velvety chocolate to the gastronomic celebration of gooey cheese ready for dipping... enjoy the urban edge and charming architectural styles of Bern, and other treasured cities with unexpected nods to unique, modern aesthetics.

Visit one of the world's top-ranked cities in which to live... zurich, switzerland.

Switzerland's largest city, Zurich today is a global leader and a world capital of banking (not to mention of chocolate), and consistently ranks high among the world's cities in quality of life. But this modern metropolis on Lake Zurich has a long, rich history that stretches back some 2,000 years, and you'll enjoy experiencing some of it with Tauck – including Bahnhofstrasse, the exclusive shopping boulevard connecting Lake Zurich with the main railway station… Old Town, with its Niederdorf pedestrian area, whose winding streets are lined with shops, artisan studios, and restaurants… and a plethora of interesting architecture, fountains, squares, and churches like the Romanesque Grossmünster.

Join the "beautiful people" at the chic Alpine resort town of St. Moritz

Lovely vistas of sparkling lakes and majestic peaks greet you in the high alpine resort town St. Moritz in Switzerland's Engadine Valley. Set on the southern slopes of the Albula Alps, the town has been a popular winter sports destination for well over a century. St. Moritz has played host to the Winter Olympic Games twice – in 1928 and 1948 – and the world championships of alpine skiing in 1934, 1974, 2003 and 2017. Besides skiing, other winter sports including snowboarding, tobagganing and bobsledding are popular in St. Moritz, home to the world's last remaining natural bobsled run (built up with only snow and water, without artificial means), which opened in 1904. The resort, which enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine every year, ranks among the most famous – and glamorous – ski resort areas in the world, where celebrity spotting is almost as popular as the skiing.

Tauck Exclusive – Reception at the Jungfraujoch Ice Palace

Enjoy cocktails and more at the "top of europe" with an exclusive private reception at the jungfraujoch's ice palace.

As your mountain railway train ascends into the majestic Swiss Alps, you'll arrive at Kleine Scheidegg at the foot of the Eiger, then board a cogwheel train for the scenic climb to Europe's highest railway station, at the Jungfraujoch (perched at 11,333 feet above sea level). Here, at "the top of Europe," you'll find a restaurant, observatory, research station, a gallery of ice sculpture, and breathtaking views of the glacier-clad Bernese Alps, often called Switzerland's "jewel in the crown." And you'll enjoy a Tauck Exclusive... a private cocktail reception at the Ice Palace… taking time. of course, to savor the astounding views of the lofty peaks of the Eiger, Jungfrau and Mönch surrounding you!

Bellevue Palace Bern

More than a century of history in the shadow of the alps.

The only grand hotel in the heart of Switzerland's capital, Bellevue Palace Bern a national institution – the official guest house of the Swiss government for over 150 years, in fact. Whether you arrive for a romantic weekend, an eventful holiday or an official visit, the hotel's stylish and discreetly luxurious rooms and suites leave nothing to be desired. All offer classically elegant furnishings combined with modern-day comforts, harmonious colors and stunning views. Thanks to our hospitality, you are sure to feel at home.

Rhine Falls, Schaffhausen

Experience the largest waterfall in europe – the rhine falls, near schaffhausen in northern switzerland.

Located near the town of Schaffhausen on the Rhine River in northern Switzerland, the Rhine Falls (Rheinfall) is the largest plain waterfall in Europe, Set on the "High Rhine," the falls are 150 meters (490 feet) wide and 23 meters (75 feet) high. They were formed during the last ice age – approximately 14,000 to 17,000 years ago – by erosion-resistant rocks narrowing the riverbed. Travelers, artists and authors have been awed by the Rhine Falls for centuries; in the 19th century, J. M. W. Turner created several paintings of the falls, while "Frankenstein" author Mary Shelley wrote glowingly of it in her "Rambles" in the 1840s. With Tauck, you'll experience the Rhine Falls on a boat excursion from nearby Schaffhausen – with time to explore this historic town with its fine Renaissance-era buildings decorated with exterior frescoes and sculpture, and its circular 16th-century hilltop fortress, the Munot, in the center of town.

From Prague to Zurich

Following are the things that should be included in your future offerings. - Tours should include some thrilling activities such as speed boat riding, 3D/VR experience, skydiving or other similar activities as an add-on options wherever available in the countries included in the package. This is because mere sightseeing and visit of cultural, religious and traditional places will add little to fun and thrill. - Hotels is the stay should be advised to ensure provision of basis necessities such as sleepers for washrooms, tooth paste. Hotels should also provide at least one or two Halal dishes to the people from Muslim countries.

Scenic Switzerland by Train

I loved this tour! It's not rushed. You get time to explore on your own. The excursions are optional, though on the tour I went on everyone else did all the excursions and there wasn't always a lot to do if you didn't go on the excursion. But it was a great tour. A great way to get to see most of Switzerland. I staid for a few days after and went to Grindelwald, which was absolutely worth it. Marco was our tour guide and he was great. I definitely suggest this tour if you're looking for something guided but not rushed.

What people love about Fully Guided Tours in Switzerland

Not what you're looking for?

People that have booked this tour have also searched for the following:

Day 1 : London (England) – Paris (France)

Location: london, paris, accommodation: hostel, meals included: dinner.

You wanted iconic, so where better to start than in the OG of classic capitals? Meet the crew in London, stock up on supplies and settle in as we make tracks for the City of Lights. The home of Coco Chanel, lil’ Mona and the world’s yummiest macarons – Paris has earnt its rep as the European capital for all things culture, fashion and cream-filled, carb-loaded deliciousness. Tick off all the showstoppers on a driving tour before tonight’s group dinner. Bon appétit!

Day 2 : Paris

Location: paris, meals included: no meals.

We’ve given you 24 hrs to make every second count à Paris. Create a solid dent in your bucket list with a visit to the Louvre (book your tickets in advance!) and the Musée d'Orsay. Flash some plastic along the Champs Elysées. Discover the hidden gems down Paris’s backstreets. Walking not your thing? Give those calves a workout on an optional bike tour. Or soak up the Parisian vibes from the water while cruising the Seine. Tonight, dress to impress for an optional cabaret show. Think: sparking lights, death-defining acrobatics, the can-can and more feathers than are necessary.

Day 3 : Paris – Bordeaux

Location: paris, bordeaux, meals included: breakfast.

Don’t drink your vino out of a cask? You’re gonna love the next stop. Bordeaux: where half the city is UNESCO World Heritage-listed and vineyards reign supreme. Get your bearings around this 1200-year-old city with our expert Trip Leader before enjoying some free time to explore. Dinner tonight is up to you. Just make sure you leave room for desert – you’re going to want to try a canelé (can-eh-lay). Trust us.

Day 4 : Bordeaux – San Sebastián (Spain)

Location: bordeaux, donostia-san sebastian.

Peer out the window as we roll through the vineyard-covered French Basque country into Spain. Smell that sweet coastal air: welcome to San Sebastián! This arvo = possibilities. Join the crowds of beachgoers at La Concha. Jump on a ride at one the oldest theme parks in the world. Or take a cold beer up Urgull Hill for incredible views over the bay. Later, choose your pants wisely – if you’re embarking on a pintxos-bar-crawl tonight, you’re gonna need a LOT of room.

Day 5 : San Sebastián – Barcelona

Location: donostia-san sebastian, barcelona.

Onwards to the capital of Catalonia. Bienvenidos to the city of art nouveau, sexy accents and (most importantly) tapas. Get a feel for Barça on a driving tour – ticking of the likes of Olympic Park, Plaza Espanya, the National Museum and Montjuïc Hill. Then: round up the crew and track down some paella (it’s rice, it’s nice, don’t think twice). Later, there’s an optional show on the cards at the oldest flamenco tablaos in Barcelona. Embracing the new and exotic? Tick.

Day 6 : Barcelona

Location: barcelona.

Time to do your own spontaneous-this-is-what-I-came-for thing, amigos. But if you need some suggestions, we’ve got your back. Park Güell and Sagrada Familia are straight-up must-sees. BUT don’t think you can just stroll up in there – you’re gonna need to book tix online first. Then: explore the crazy that is Las Ramblas, head to the ice bar along the beach, or get lost amongst the maze of winding alleys in the Gothic Quarter. Lose yourself, find yourself, then grab a beer. Tonight’s your last chance to see what Ed Sheeran was on about and hit the d-floor with your trip mates – we’re out of here in the morning.

Day 7 : Barcelona – French Riviera (France)

Location: barcelona, french riviera.

Start practising your bonjours and s’il vous plaîts as we follow the Mediterranean coast to the glamorous French Riviera. After getting the run about Nice’s Old Town with our Trip Leader, the rest of the afternoon is up to you! Indulge in a bit of celeb spotting. Head to the beach for a dip. Or seek out some seriously good seafood. Tonight, hit up a local bar for happy hour with the gang. This is livin’.

Day 8 : French Riviera, Including Monaco

Location: french riviera, monaco.

Today, you do you! Laze on the beach (sunloungers advised). Or go wild in the designer boutiques in the town centre. Try all the decorative pastries your jeans can handle – then work them off with a walk up Castle Hill for alll the views. The choice is yours. Later: we’ll turn it up a notch with a boujee visit to Monaco. See how the 1% live (hint: it involves Ferraris and bathing in caviar), stroll by world-class casinos and let your jaw drop at the superyachts parked up along the waterfront.

Day 9 : French Riviera – Swiss Alps (Switzerland)

Location: french riviera, swiss alps, accommodation: hotel.

Squeeze in one last swim. Down your (French) coffee. And wave au revoir to the coast – we’ll be trading ritz and glitz for snowy peaks as we head to the mountains. Glue your face to the window as we weave our way into one of the largest nature conservations in Switzerland. Tonight we're bunking down in the jaw-dropping Swiss Alps. Sit back in the fresh alpine air, sip on a cold beverage and peel open that new pack of playing cards. Poker, anyone?

Day 10 : Swiss Alps

Location: swiss alps, accommodation: camp, accommodation name: bungalows at european campsites.

If the Swiss Alps had a Tinder bio it would read: fun-filled outdoor enthusiast – looking for a fellow adrenaline junkie to share adventures with. Swiping right? Hell yes. Hiking. Biking. Skydiving. Helicopter-ing. This place has it all. Or keep two feet on the ground with a valley walk. You can even hop aboard the Jungfraubahn railway for a visit to the Jungfrau Mountain summit. Trust us, whatever you choose – your SD card is going to be full of amazing AF pics by the day’s end.

Day 11 : Swiss Alps – Venice (Italy)

Location: swiss alps, venice.

No lies – we have a bit of a drive today. Who’s got the AUX cord? We'll park up in the Floating City later this afternoon. Home to over 400 bridges and birthplace of Vivaldi, it’s time to see what all the fuss is about on a walking tour with our Trip Leader – ticking off the likes of St Mark's Square, Doge’s Palace and Accademia Bridge. Then, the rest is up to you. Our suggestion? Stop and embrace the moment. Enjoy a spritz or scoop (or two) of the good stuff overlooking one of Venice’s fuchsia-pink sunsets. This is it.

Day 12 : Venice

Location: venice.

You know it as the Floating City, but this place is actually sinking (slowly). So get cracking! Do the obvious and take an optional gondola ride down the Grand Canal. You’re in Venice after all. Need some suggestions on how to make the most of your free time? Insider tip: head off the tourist trail with a trip to Giudecca Island. Seek out the epic Libreria Acqua Alta bookshop. Or get lost hunting down the perfect gelato. Centuries-old architecture. Inventive cuisine. And a bucket-load of culture. You’re not going to be bored.

Day 13 : Venice – Pisa – Florence

Location: venice, pisa, florence.

We’re hitting the frog and toad after breakfast. First stop: Pisa. Think of a creative pose for THAT photo (please). Then, make your food baby sing as we roll into the capital of Tuscan cuisine. You’ve got free time to stroll along the Arno River and watch the sunset before hunting down some classic Italian grub. Later: did someone say karaoke? If you’re feeling it, join the gang in a battle of the classics at the bar later. Or hunt down a gelateria for a scoop (or two) of the good stuff – we mentioned it was invented here, right?

Day 14 : Florence – Rome

Location: florence, rome.

This morning we’re time travelling with a local guide – soaking up heaps of history, artistic charm and all the dazzling architecture only Florence can deliver. Uffizi Gallery? Tick. Ponte Vecchio? Uh-huh. Piazza della Signoria? Yep. And the showstopping Duomo? Of course. Then, bella Roma awaits – strap in for one EPIC walking tour. Pass by the Pantheon, (don’t) sit on the Spanish Steps, check out the mighty Colosseum and throw your spare cents in the Trevi Fountain. Legend has it if you throw one coin in the Fountain you’ll return to Rome. Throw in two, and you’ll find love here. Single ladies, assemble!

Day 15 : Rome

Location: rome.

Vespas. Espresso. Two-cheek kisses. Aggressive hand gestures. And pizza the way it's supposed to taste. Here’s a free day we prepared earlier. Count your blessings on an optional tour of Vatican City, then get lost amongst two-and-a-half millennia worth of history. Head up Capitoline Hill for awesome views. Grab a bite at Lost Food Factory (arguably one of the best sandwich spots in town). Or as the locals do and indulge in a little dolce far niente (delicious idleness) at a local cafe or piazza. Tonight, get the gang together for one last group dinner – we’re gonna give this adventure-of-a-lifetime the send-off it deserves!

Day 16 : Rome

This is where we leave you #Topdeckers. But who said the adventure has to end? Swap those Insta handles and get planning – we hear Greece is lovely this time of year!

Reviews from travellers on this tour

What a memorable tour! Thank you to our great tour leader and driver :) I would highly recommend this trip to anyone wishing to see Europe for the first time and have everything organized and sorted. Just make sure you've done some research and know what to expect.

100% would book again, totally worth it

Worth While and great recomendations

...........................

I didn’t realise the tour was part of a longer, more comprehensive trip until the first day when I met others who were staying on for the entire duration. I probably would have opted for the longer trip had I known.

The Classic Europe was amazing! I loved all the places we went to and really feel like you got to see France, Spain and Italy on a closer level. However, it was a bummer only spending on night in Florence and Sam Sebastian as they were beautiful places I would have loved to explore more of!

Had a great time, felt as we were such a large group we didn’t have much engagement together and was to hard to do large dinners together unless the tour guide organised.
