From hassle-free flights to big comfy coaches, we'll make sure the journey is just as fun as the adventure. Ready to make a move? Let’s go.

TOPDECK COACH EVERYWHERE Consider our Topdeck coach your home away from home. With all the comforts you’ll need (minus the kitchen sink), you’ll hit the road and see the USA and Canada from the best viewpoint ever.

FLIGHTS SAN FRANCISCO & NEW YORK

As a country that’s 40 times bigger than the whole of the United Kingdom, there’s no wonder you’ll need to take to the air to get around. We’ll arrange your flights from A to B on certain trips that cover a lot of ground, and take care of your airport transfers to make life that little bit easier. You’re welcome.

METROCARDS NEW YORK CITY Roam free (and live like a local while you’re at it) with included MetroCards in New York City. The most flexible and efficient way to get to the heart of a new destination, you’ll have no problems in zipping around the Big Apple at your own leisure – even if that means spending five hours in M&M’s World.

I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have asked for anyone better. She was extremely knowledgeable.

5-stars for the guides. These guys knew their stuff. TRIP: California Calling

With a thirst for adventure and an endless stream of knowledge, our dedicated Topdeck crew make the best travel pals, ever. Check out what some of our happy passengers have to say.

I loved everything about this holiday! It was the best thing I've done in my whole life, and made amazing lifelong friends from this experience! The places we went and the organisation of everything was perfect! I would recommend to EVERYONE! TRIP: Stars & Stripes

Great tour, awesome Trip Leader. I would recommend this tour to anyone who was thinking about doing one. Will definitely be doing another Topdeck soon! TRIP: American Dream

Our tour leader was exceptional with fantastic knowledge, and was also curious, genuine and fun! Topdeck rocks! TRIP: Coast to Coast

OUR CREW

DELICIOUS FOOD

delicious Some may bring home a tacky souvenir; others a picture-perfect postcard. But that epic feast you ate while on the trip of a lifetime? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a memory that will stay with you forever. Dig in!

DELICIOUS FOOD

CAJUN FOOD DEEP SOUTH, USA Fact: The only thing more fun than eating Cajun food is pronouncing Cajun food. Gumbo? Yes, please. Jambalaya? Sign me up. Po’ Boy sandwich? We’ll take two. Aside from the funky fresh names, these dishes are chock full of spicy, aromatic flavours and can be found in kitchens across the Deep South.

TEXAS BBQ TEXAS, USA They say everything’s bigger in Texas – and ‘they’ aren’t wrong. Each region of Texas has its own unique style of preparing beef but generally we’re talking brisket (a particular cut of meat) cooked low and slow over indirect heat, with a simple garlic + salt + pepper rub. Cue drool.

POUTINE MONTREAL, CANADA Don’t let the name deter you. This greasy plate of fast-food amazingness satisfies all our cravings. French fries. Tick. Cheese. Tick. Gravy. Tick. Bang it all together, and you’ve got a Canadian specialty that outshines Bieber.

LAS VEGAS, USA

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES INCLUDED

EXPERIENCE THE HOTTEST PARTY ON WHEELS

EXPLORE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF WASHINGTON D.C.

You’ve seen the films and heard the legendary stories but now’s your chance to take on the night, Vegas style. Hop aboard the bus with your new BFFs (and BYO beverages) and discover exactly why The Strip is on the top of every party animal’s hit list. Just avoid the face tattoos.

With its grand monuments and plethora of museums, Washington D.C. is where history and politics artfully collide with modern culture. Be treated to a show as you take an evening tour with your Topdeck Trip Leader and admire the city’s landmarks illuminated in all their glory. Cue Snapchat Stories and Instagrams galore. WASHINGTON D.C, USA

EAT YOUR WAY AROUND NYC Don’t let the name, ‘Big Apple’ fool you. This city is so much more than lunchbox fruit. Sample some of the treats Manhattan has on offer while being guided around by an expert, and discover exactly why New York cheesecake/pizza/hot dogs/bagels are just the beginning. Stretchy pants optional.

NEW YORK CIT Y, USA

INCLUDED

GLIDE THROUGH THE EVERGLADES

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES

FLORIDA, USA

Take a bite (pun intended) out of this remarkable piece of American wilderness as you zip and zoom over the grassy river and dodge the beady eyes of the true locals of Florida (yep, we’re talking ‘gators). Hot, steamy and lightly seasoned with adventure, this not-to-be-missed experience is for ecolovers and thrill seekers alike.

INCLUDED

CHICAGO, USA

INCLUDED

GRAND CANYON, USA

OPTIONAL

ALBUQUERQUE, USA

Get high in Chicago Afraid of heights? There’s no time for that. Zoom to the top of the 360 Chicago Observation Deck and take on the city from a whole new perspective. If 94 floors isn’t enough to raise your arm hairs, TILT yourself over the city’s magnificent skyline with the building’s newest viewing experience.

JUMP ON A HELI-TOUR Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nup, it’s a Topdecker taking to the skies to view some of America’s best cities from above. Get to the chopper and see places like Vegas and Chi-town sparkle. Plus, you get to sport a funky fresh headset that plays music whilst you soar over the Grand Canyon (think: epic Jurassic Park-style soundtrack).

FLOAT AWAY ON A HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE There are only two things that justify an early start: a free hostel breakfast and a jaw-droppingly gorgeous hot air balloon ride. Opt for the latter in Albuquerque, New Mexico and float serenely over the southwestern vistas as the sun rises. Wash down the excitement with a mimosa after landing.

OPTIONAL

Explore

MONUMENT VALLEY WITH A LOCAL NAVAJO GUIDE

MONUMENT VALLEY, USA

INCLUDED

Ain’t no better way to get to the heart of a place than with a tour from someone who knows it best: a local. Jump in a Jeep and explore the breathtaking scapes of Monument Valley with a knowledgeable Navajo guide, before tucking into a traditional Navajo lunch to feed the soul.

FREEDOM TO EXPLORE

freedom to Put down the itinerary, stray from the crowd and make good use of your spare time with some of these not-to-be-missed experiences. Freedom never felt so good.

EXPLORE THE NATIONAL PARKS EVERYWHERE, USA & CANADA

CHECK OUT A SEASONAL SPORTING EVENT EVERYWHERE, USA

Not sure what NP is your vibe? Don’t worry, we got you. Strap on your hiking shoes and hit up Yosemite, Yellowstone or the monstrous Grand Canyon. With loads of free time to solo explore, the hardest part will be tearing yourself away from the jaw-dropping views.

Cue the KISSCAM, Topdeckers. There’s no place like the U-S-of-YAY to channel your team spirit at an all American sporting game. From baseball to basketball and every action-packed event in between, you’re sure to catch a winner.

GET JAZZY IN THE FRENCH QUARTER NEW ORLEANS, USA The streets are alive with the sound of jazz in the French Quarter – aka New Orleans' beating heart and buzzing epicentre of all things food, fun and frivolity. With bars, restaurants, street performers and even an alligator museum (yep), it’s time to let loose and embrace the crazy.

Then, pinch yourself – this is Hawaii, baby! Once the excitement has cooled down, drop your bags and prepare for dinner tonight with the gang. (D) DAY 2 HONOLULU. Wake early and fuel up on breakfast before heading out for a morning of reflection. Today we’re off to Pearl Harbour and the Arizona Memorial to browse the comprehensive museum and learn the history of "the date that will live in infamy". Post-history lesson and perusal of the historic site, make tracks back to Waikiki where you can spend the day hanging ten in the waves, hanging out at the shops or hanging poolside at the hotel. Your choice. (B) DAY 3 HONOLULU. Are you a surfing pro, or a total beginner? Either way, the option is all yours today to take on the waves of this surfer’s paradise. If you’re more of a land lover, hike your own way to the top of Diamond Head for out-of-this-world views. Or alternatively, dig your heels into the powder-white sand of Waikiki beach and let the Hawaiian sun warm your bones. (B)

DAY 1 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA TO LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. Assemble the wolf pack as we drive across the Mojave desert to our first stop in Las Vegas. Postcards home write of buffets, blackjack and the Bellagio, but few mention the ridiculous antics you can only get up to in Sin City. Offering fancier than normal pools, 5am burgers in your hotel and party buses – this is Vegas as you’ve dreamt it. Hit The Strip aboard our party bus and let Vegas show you its colours. (D) DAY 2 LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. G-rated Vegas sounds like an oxymoron, but there's plenty of family-friendly options from indoor skydiving to roller coasters atop needle-pin buildings. Take the option to make like Godzilla with a helicopter flight above The Strip, or recline in your seat as you watch the world go by from the Observation Wheel. DAY 3 LAS VEGAS (DAY TRIP TO GRAND CANYON). Stay by the pool or live large—your choice, but a day trip to the Grand Canyon is included today. The jaw-dropping view around the canyon rim or from the (optional) chopper is well worth the journey along Route 66. DAY 4 LAS VEGAS TO YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK REGION, CALIFORNIA. Lost track of time last night? Swap stories of your Vegas antics as we drive from the desert to the Sierra Nevada Mountains (and our gateway to Yosemite National Park). DAY 5 YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK. There aren’t enough flowery adjectives to describe the beauty of Yosemite Valley. It doesn't have honey badgers, but it does have bears, coyotes and golden eagles that are badass in their own right. Hike to Vernal Falls, ride or take the free shuttle to explore the real-world equivalent of Narnia. There’s always the Ansel Adams Gallery if you need photography pointers. (B)

Bet high on the High Roller Observation Wheel, put everything on black or take your winnings straight to the skies with an optional helicopter flight. The choice is yours. DAY 3 LAS VEGAS. Circle the globe without leaving the strip (Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, Pyramids of Giza), take a leave pass to tour Hoover Dam or Death Valley, or seek out the outlet malls. Whichever way you choose, you’re winning. DAY 4 LAS VEGAS TO YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK REGION, CALIFORNIA. Lost track of time last night? Swap stories of your Vegas antics as we drive from the desert to the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the gateway to Yosemite National Park. (D) DAY 5 YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK REGION.

DAY 1 NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK TO WASHINGTON, D.C, VIA PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA. All great adventures start in New York, and today is no exception to the rule. Meet with the gang bright and early before we hit the road to meet with the city of Philadelphia. Note: cheesesteak recommended. Tonight, see Washington all lit up on an illumination tour and make the most of your night with a chance to bond with the crew over dinner. (D) DAY 2 WASHINGTON, D.C. Roam free with a day in the land of memorials, museums and monuments. Speed demons could see the city by segway or bike, or take your time with a leisurely stroll. How you spend the day is totally up to you. (B) DAY 3 WASHINGTON, D.C. TO WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA. Swap the capital for pretty beaches. We’ll see the historic side of Downtown Wilmington too. (B,D) DAY 4 WILMINGTON TO SAVANNAH, GEORGIA VIA CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA. Sample the charm of Charleston, then ready yourself for tonight’s optional ghost tour (if you dare). (B) DAY 5 SAVANNAH. You’re free to recreate that ‘life is like a box of chocolates’ scene on Forrest Gump’s bench, or really slow the pace with a Slow Ride bike crawl. (B) DAY 6 SAVANNAH TO ORLANDO, FLORIDA. Roll into Orlando today, where there’s year-round sunshine and a certain friendly mouse reigns supreme. (B) DAY 7 ORLANDO. Act like the big kid you really are and forget about that thing they call ‘adulting’ today. Spend the day with the characters you loved as a kid at Walt Disney World or for the thrill seeking option make sure you check out Universal Studios to unleash your inner movie buff. The choice yours. Note: popcorn and souvenirs are essential. (B)

Tonight, hit up Gaslamp Quarter or seek out rooftop bars for cocktails with a view. (D) DAY 2 SAN DIEGO. We suggest you keep today classy with a ride on a historic trolley, a jaunt through the Spanish-style Balboa Park and a visit to San Diego Zoo (one word: pandas). Or just get in on the sun and surf action along the 70 miles of beaches. (B) DAY 3 SAN DIEGO TO PRESCOTT, ARIZONA. Drive through the Joshua Tree-dotted landscape of the Mojave desert to Prescott, where cowboy hats are part of the local’s uniform and Whiskey Row is the place to be. (B) DAY 4 PRESCOTT TO GRAND CANYON REGION VIA SEDONA. Stretch your legs in Arizona’s ‘little Hollywood’, Sedona—a spiritual mecca in the desert. Say a few ‘oms’ amongst the red sandstone on the optional jeep tour before we travel towards the Grand Canyon. (B,D) DAY 5 GRAND CANYON. Ready to ‘go big or go home’?

Millions-year-old sweeping sandstone canyons, iridescent waterfalls and breathtaking landscapes await in Zion tomorrow. (B,D) DAY 7 ZION NATIONAL PARK TO LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. Strap on your hiking boots and challenge yourself to reach Angel's Landing. The views are so worth it. Then: a tour of The Strip in Vegas, a nightclub on wheels (and pockets full of casino chips?).

(B) DAY 3 DENALI. Lucky the sun barely dips below the horizon at this time of year – there’s almost 24 hours worth of daylight and you’re gonna need it to explore as much of the Denali National Park as possible. See it all on a wildlife driving tour and spot grizzly bears, moose, dall sheep and more. (B) DAY 4 DENALI TO TANGLE LAKES. Today we’re heading to Tangle Lakes for another dose of the wilderness.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: NEW YORK CITY

DAY 1 NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK. You’ve seen it in the movies; you’ve read about all the icons; b ut nothing compares to actually experiencing New York City for yourself. Take a minute and prep yourself for the totally awesome adventure you’re about to embark on. Tonight, meet with the group at the welcome meeting and get ready to set food in the concrete jungle. DAY 2 NEW YORK CITY. There's more than a few reasons why 52 million visitors infiltrate the island of Manhattan each year and you're in the best position to find out what they are. Be warned: once you taste the Big Apple, you may be ruined for any other city for life. See all the super-sized skyscrapers and from an altogether different angle at the One World Tower and for the foodies – we’ve got a Manhattan food tour to satisfy your hunger for local fare. The rest of the day is yours to explore with an included 7-day Metro Pass. (B,L) DAY 3 NEW YORK CITY. Riding the subway and wandering your way around the wildly different neighbourhoods of the city is a great way to see the place – the yellow cabs whizz by, the smell of the sidewalk pretzel stands waft your way and the whole place feels like one big movie set. Or, you can roll in style and cruise on an optional bike tour to capture a few #selfies at one of the most iconic parks in the world. (B,D) DAY 4 NEW YORK CITY. There will be tear-stains on your I Heart NYC T-shirt today as our trip wraps after breakfast. Spend your last New York minutes (or hours, depending on your flight) reenacting scenes from your favourite shows or drowning your sorrows in cronuts. Then again, you’ve got three days left on that metro pass… (B) This is a section of the 13 Day Star Spangled Banner trip and 11 Day Manhattan to Miami trip. See full trips on p.56 and p.54.

Further information in relation to the financial protection of your booking is set out on our website.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These booking conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute in relation to these booking conditions shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England.

Brochure Validity Date

Prices quoted in our brochures are calculated on costs and exchange rates at 1 June 2017

Your contract will be with Topdeck as tour operator, unless you have booked a Locally Operated Trip, in which case your contract for tour services will be with the operator specified above and will be subject to that operator's terms and conditions, in addition to the booking conditions set out below. For any Locally Operated Trip, the operator will be identified on your itinerary or travel documents and their respective terms and conditions will be available directly on their websites or by contacting them. Should we book a flight on your behalf it will be subject to the conditions of the respective airline, including but not limited to deposit/full payment and cancellation terms. Please read these booking conditions carefully. You must not make any booking unless you understand and agree with these booking conditions.

boats, epidemic or outbreaks of illness or any other event outside our control which either delays or extends or reduces the trip, or compels a change in the trip arrangements after departure (“Force Majeure”).

Topdeck may require a minimum number of participants for certain trips. In the event that insufficient bookings have been made as at 42 days prior to departure, we may cancel the scheduled trip, whereupon all money paid by you for your Topdeck trip will be refunded and no further compensation will be paid. In such circumstances, you agree to release Topdeck from any further obligations which would have been enforceable had the trip not been cancelled.

You must clearly state all your dietary requirements at the time of booking. We cannot guarantee that special dietary requirements can be met and we cannot take responsibility for any such requirements not being fulfilled.

Our trips are designed for young people between the ages of 18 to 39 years. We may in special circumstances approve passengers outside this range. If you are 17 years of age and wish to book on one of our trips, please contact us before making a booking as we will require your parent or guardian's written consent. We may decline your booking request if we think our trips are not suitable.

OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR TOPDECK OPERATED TRIPS

Bookings can be made through your local travel agent or directly with Topdeck and must be secured with a deposit of the amount shown above. A contract between you and us (or between you and the relevant operator of a Locally Operated Trip) will exist as soon as (i); we issue an invoice in response to your request for a booking and (ii); your deposit is paid to us or your travel agent. If your booking is made through a travel agent, we will address all correspondence to that agent.

Topdeck will not be liable where any failure in the performance or provision of your trip is due to: (a) your acts or omissions or the acts or omissions of another member in your group (b) any third party not connected with the provision of your travel arrangements and where that failure is unavoidable (c) unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised or (d) an event which we or a travel service provider, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall (including but not limited to Force Majeure and unavoidable technical problems with transport and similar events).

PRICE & PAYMENT The deposit is non-refundable unless we cancel your trip. The balance of your trip must be paid no later than 42 days prior to your trip departure date. If you do not pay within this period we may cancel your booking and your deposit will be forfeited. Full payment is required if you make a booking within 42 days of the departure date. If your booking is a special offer we may require full payment (including any pre and post accommodation and sundry service charges) by such earlier time as specified in the offer. Open-dated passes must be paid for in full at the time of booking. Trip discounts apply to the trip price only and do not apply to any included flights, pre & post accommodation or transfers. Only two applicable and valid discounts can be combined to a maximum discount of 15% off the trip price. For friends' discounts, all passengers must be booked on the same trip at the same time. For multi-trip discounts all trips must be booked at the same time. Prices quoted in our brochures are calculated on costs and exchange rates as at the Brochure Validity Date. These prices may increase or decrease. We may alter prices and other particulars contained in our brochures and on our website at any time. Before you make a booking we will provide you with details of the current price of your chosen trip. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS Please ensure you carefully read your invoice, tickets and all other documents we send to you as soon as you receive them and contact us or your travel agent immediately if any information appears to be incorrect. We will not accept any liability if you fail to notify us of any inaccuracy in any document within 14 days of us sending them to you or the travel agent. You are responsible for ensuring that you have the correct and valid travel documents including passports, visas and vaccination certificates. We strongly recommend that you verify current documentation requirements with your travel agent or us. Please note requirements change and you must check with your consulate for the most up to date information, including but not limited to visa requirements for the countries visited on your trip. Passports must have an expiry date of at least six months after completion of the trip. IF YOU CHANGE OR CANCEL YOUR BOOKING If you want to change or cancel any aspect of your booking including but not limited to a change to a trip of shorter duration or different departure date you must notify us in writing. We will do our best to accommodate your requested change but it may not always be possible. We will not charge a fee for changes requested more than 42 days before departure except where we incur a cost from a supplier, in which case we will advise you of the relevant fee. All change/cancellation fees must be paid within seven days of the invoice date or on the date of departure, whichever is the sooner. Cancellation of Open Dated Passes before booking a departure date incur a £60 cancellation charge. Once your chosen departure date is booked our standard cancellation charges listed above will apply. If you are prevented from traveling as a result of illness, death of an immediate family member, jury service, or other reason beyond your control which we consider significant, we may agree to your booking being transferred to another person who satisfies all the conditions applicable to the trip, subject to you and the other person accepting liability for full payment of the trip cost and any additional costs arising from the transfer and provided that you give us not less than 21 days' written notice of the proposed transfer. CANCELLATION OR MODIFICATION BY US Every effort will be made to operate all trips as advertised but it must be remembered that our trips are planned up to eighteen months in advance. We may therefore, at our discretion, modify or cancel any trip, accommodation or arrangement at any time. We will notify you as soon as possible of any changes and they will form part of our contract with you. In the case of any material modification or cancellation, we will, if possible, provide you with three alternatives: (1) a trip of an equivalent or closely similar standard and price, if available; or (2) a trip of a lower standard together with a refund of the difference in price; or (3) cancellation with a full refund of all monies paid. A material modification is one that has a serious impact on your trip and includes a change of departure date, departure point or airport, or change of departure time of more than twelve hours, which would cause substantial inconvenience to you. A change of accommodation, or transport method/style is not a material modification. We may alter or substitute the type or size of vehicle, or method/style of transport mentioned in the brochure, depending on the

Save where the provisions of Force Majeure apply, if the trip does not materially comply with the description in the brochure, Topdeck may compensate you to a maximum value equal to twice the price of the trip. Topdeck will only be liable to pay the maximum amount of compensation where there has been a total failure of consideration for your payment.

Our liability will in all cases be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to any applicable international conventions, including but not limited to the Geneva Convention in respect of carriage by road, the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation which set time limits for notifications/claims and limit the amount of compensation that can be claimed for death, injury, delay to passengers/guests and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage sustained by you as a result of a contravention of any law or regulation of any of the countries visited while on the trip. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR LOCALLY OPERATED TRIPS If your trip is a Locally Operated Trip as listed above our obligation to you is to (and you expressly authorise us to) make trip bookings on your behalf with reasonable skill and care and to arrange a contract between you and the relevant operator. We exercise care in the selection of reputable local operators but we have no control over, or liability for, the services provided by third parties. All bookings are made on your behalf subject to the terms and conditions, including conditions of carriage and limitations of liability, imposed by the local operator (available on request). Your legal rights in connection with such trips are against the local operator and are not against us, except to the extent a problem is caused by fault on our part. SEATBELTS You must wear a seatbelt at all times whilst you are in any vehicle. Neither Topdeck nor any local operator will be liable for any injury, death or claim howsoever arising from any accident if you have failed to comply with this requirement. FLEXIBILITY DURING TRIP Your booking is accepted on the condition that you understand, and take responsibility for, the risks inherent in adventure travel. Every effort will be made to operate all trips featured in this brochure but there may be a necessity to vary the itinerary from that stated in the brochure, and delays may occur for a variety of reasons beyond our control. The need for a flexible attitude to this type of travel is important. All decisions relating to a trip itinerary will be taken by the Trip Leader, as appointed by us in the interest of the group as a whole. Please note that due to public holidays some sights or activities may not be available on a particular trip. No refund will be made for services made available by Topdeck but which for whatever reason are not used by you once the trip has departed. OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES AND EXCURSIONS Topdeck and its employees, agents and contractors make no representation or warranty in relation to implied or explicit suggestions or recommendations of services, activities and events not highlighted as included in a trip. You are responsible for all risks associated with the transportation to/from, and your participation in, or visitation to, any place, activity or excursion not listed as an inclusion. During your trip you will be offered the chance to purchase various optional excursions and activities. Topdeck does not own, operate or control any of the companies or individuals which provide the optional activities or excursions. Some of the optional activities and excursions, such as canyoning, are inherently dangerous and risky. If you want to take part in such optional activities or excursions you must be fit enough to do so and must follow all reasonable instructions. The standards of health and safety which will be adopted by the company or the individual providing the optional activity or excursion will be those of the country where the optional activity or excursion takes place. Please note that these standards may not be the same as you would find in your home country. If you wish to book any optional excursion or activity, you may do so subject to the operator’s terms and conditions. Your contract will be with the operator of the activity or excursion and will be governed by local law. Topdeck acts only as their agent. Topdeck’s Trip Leader will have further details and additional information can be found on our website. Topdeck accepts no liability for any act or omission of any operator or operator’s employees, agents or sub-contractors. EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY – FORCE MAJEURE We do not accept liability for any loss, damage or expense resulting from war or terrorist activities threatened or actual, civil unrest, industrial action threatened or actual, weather conditions, fire, flood, drought, closures, unforeseen alterations to public transport schedules, rescheduling of aircraft or

DIETARY, HEALTH AND SPECIAL REQUIREMENT

If you have a medical condition or require special arrangements that may affect your trip, we ask that you inform us in writing at the time of booking. If we cannot reasonably accommodate your particular needs we may decline the booking or ask for you to be accompanied by a person who is able to provide full assistance to you throughout your trip. YOUR LIABILITY TO US You will not be permitted to embark or continue on the trip if your mental or physical condition is, in the reasonable opinion of any representative of Topdeck, such as to render you incapable of caring for yourself, or where you become objectionable to other passengers, or you become a hazard to yourself or other passengers. We will not be responsible for expenses resulting in you being precluded from completing the trip for any reason, nor will we refund you any part of your trip cost. In all cases we will notify you of the reasons why we have taken this action. We will have no obligation to arrange for your return to the point of the trip departure if your condition manifests itself after the trip departure. Further, if the trip involves travel by air, the captain of your aircraft can refuse to allow you to fly on the aircraft if he believes that you could be dangerous or disruptive to other passengers on the flight. You indemnify us against all third-party actions taken against us for loss or damage caused by you or arising from your participation on the trip. INSURANCE & CLAIMS You must take out comprehensive travel insurance before you travel on your trip. Your insurance protection must include cover for cancellation, medical and repatriation expenses, personal injury and accident, death, and loss of personal baggage and money and personal liability insurance. Evidence of such insurances must be produced to Topdeck on request and normally on day one of your trip. Insurance cover offered by credit card companies or reciprocal medical cover agreements are often not comprehensive. If you make a claim against Topdeck you agree to assign to us or our insurers any rights to take action against any third party supplier/tour operator or any other person or party that may have been wholly or partly responsible for the claim or who Topdeck reasonably considers should be a party to the action. You must co-operate fully with Topdeck should Topdeck or its insurers wish to enforce those rights which have been assigned to Topdeck. If you make a claim against us which is covered by your insurance policy, you agree to pursue the claim through your insurer either in addition to, or in substitution for, your claim against us (if any). We agree to indemnify you in respect of reasonable expenses incurred in successfully pursuing such a claim and acknowledge that any settlement made by the insurer shall not prejudice your rights against us. COMPLAINTS In the event of any dissatisfaction with the accommodation or any other service provided by Topdeck, you must report it immediately to the Trip Leader so that action can be taken to remedy the problem. Failure to immediately notify the Trip Leader of any problem may result in your claim for compensation from us being denied or reduced. Any complaint made to Topdeck following the conclusion of the trip should be made in writing within 28 days of completion of the trip. In the event that you do not notify us in writing within 28 days, Topdeck’s ability to investigate the complaint may be prejudiced. In the UK, we can also offer you ABTA’s scheme for the resolution of disputes which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute. If we can’t resolve your complaint, go to www.abta.com to use ABTA’s simple procedure. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com. DATA PROTECTION We are committed to protecting your personal information and agree to process your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Notice, which is available online at www.topdeck.travel/privacy. In order to make your booking and ensure that your travel arrangements run smoothly, we need to use the information you provide and pass it on to other relevant suppliers who are responsible for parts of your travel arrangements. In many cases this will include transferring your data to overseas recipients (including to recipients outside of the European Union). In making this booking, your consent to this information being passed on to the relevant persons is deemed to be given unless you object and advise Topdeck of your objection at the time of booking. The information may also be provided to public authorities such as customs or immigration if required by them, or as required by law. This consent applies to any sensitive information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities or dietary/religious requirements. SMOKING Topdeck enforces a non-smoking policy on our coaches (although we make frequent stops for breaks) and in most of our accommodation. LUGGAGE There are strict weight limits for coaches when fully loaded. You are only entitled to have one piece of main luggage of standard size (see the pre-departure information or our website for size limits) and not weighing more than 20kg (or 15kg for Outback trips). In addition you may bring a sleeping bag, as required on specific trips, and a daypack. PUBLISHING CONSENT You acknowledge and agree that future Topdeck advertising and publicity material may include statements made by passengers, or their photographs, and you consent to such use of your comments or photographic/video likeness. WI-FI Topdeck will endeavor to deliver Wi-Fi connection as stated on relevant trips to the best of its ability. This service is subject to availability and may not be available on some peak season departures or in the event of technical issues.
