This was my first top deck tour and to sum it up it was amazing! Lots of things were ticked off my bucket list during this trip. The trip leader was wonder very knowledgeable about the places we went to and they also knew how to have a good time and have a laugh with the group. The trip is very fast paced and there's always something to do, though you can choose to have some downtime which is also nice. The only downside for me personally is I wish we had more group dinners so we could all sit-down together and get to know everyone throughout the trip and not just at the end. However I have come away with so many great memories and friends from around the world. Such a wonderful experience for my first tour! Definitely doing another
Not having enough spots for everyone to do an optional activity is not good enough. I went on this trip for three activites, none of which I was able to do. There were many things in the itinerary that we didn't do? Most of the walking tours didn't happen and we didn't visit Arrowtown which I was very much looking forward to. The accommodation was appalling in some locations. The tour leader was a fantastic driver but very unprofessional. I wouldn't travel with Top Deck again after this experience.
I did the New Zealand South Tour with Jess who was absolutely amazing · She supported me through my bungy jump and she was also just such a fun tour leader, absolutely amazing xx
