DAY 4. The snow-capped hills (Alps, really) are alive with the sound of carving. You’ve got this down. (B,D) DAY 5. All this pow pow makes for sore legs. Take the cable car up to let gravity—and a cool snow-bike (if you wish!) —do the work on the way down. The pre après-ski hot chocolate, glühwein and schnapps choices are brought to you by: Well-placed slopeside watering holes. (B) DAY 6. Sixteen kms of fresh snow + a toboggan have your name on them today. Eyes on the prize though, it ain’t as easy as it looks. A slab of Tyrolean ribs for tonight’s sustenance = winning. (B,D) DAY 7. How ‘bout them views? So much pretty to take in, but you haven’t really been there without a few sneaky selfies, right? Say edelweiss! Hit up Wilder Kaiser to make tracks down the mountain. (B) DAY 8. Still so much stoke, but it’s time to say goodbye. Swap emails over breakfast before hightailing it back to the real world. (B)

MORE INCLUSIONS ++ 7 breakfasts (B), 2 dinners including traditional Tyrolean ribs night (D) (3 course meal, vegetarian option available)* ++ 7 nights in a traditional Austrian Bed & Breakfast Chalet ++ English-speaking Topdeck Representative.

DAY 4 TALLINN TO ST PETERSBURG, RUSSIA. Russia is bigger than Pluto, so it’s understandable today’s drive will take a while. Say Zdravstvujtye (zdrahstvooytee = hello) as we arrive in St. Petersburg in time to scope out the Venice of the North on a guided tour. Love: the Church of Spilt Blood in all its domed and glittery glory. (B,D) DAY 5 ST PETERSBURG. With 3 million items in the archives, the Hermitage Museum is your morning and more sorted. But with the largest collection of paintings in the world and guard cats that protect them from rodents, you’d be duller than van Drago to miss it. (B) DAY 6 ST PETERSBURG (FREE DAY, OVERNIGHT TRAIN). Dress in your finery (Russians do a good line in chic) and take in the city at your pace today. Why not dial-up your inner hipster with a visit to the city’s street art museum. See: ‘All I Know About Street Art’ for instant cred. Then all aboard the night train for Moscow. (B)

DAY 7 MOSCOW, RUSSIA (FREE DAY). Bounce to Moscow this AM to roll with the billionaires – the city is home to the largest number of high-rollers in the world. Explore. (B,D)

DAY 8 MOSCOW. We’ve got your history book beat today. Take a trip to Moscow State University—former holder of the title biggest building outside of New York (#sizematters)— check out the Red Square, then onto the Kremlin. Facty bit: The Kremlin was saved from WWII bombing by disguising it as a normal house. #whowouldhaveknown (B) DAY 9 MOSCOW (FREE DAY). St Basil’s Cathedral in winter blows all those Hans Christian Andersen fables out of the water. Ogle the onion domes and pop back in on Putin at the Kremlin before going underground for the world's cheapest (art) ticket at one of 196 insanely elaborate metro stations (optional). (B) DAY 10 MOSCOW. Time to say poka (see ya’) after breakfast but it’s a good thing it also means ‘so far’ Moscow might not be done with you yet. (B) THE 22ND DECEMBER DEPARTURE IS A SPECIAL 11-DAY TRIP SPENDING ONE EXTRA NIGHT IN MOSCOW.

PRAGUE

DAY 2 PRAGUE. Ho, ho, holy moly it’s Christmas day! It’s time to prep the roast and peel those potatoes (don’t worry we’ll do that, you just go check out Charles Bridge and the Castle District). At lunch we’ll show you Santa Claus didn’t forget you, he just hit the kitchen instead of the workshop. (B,L) DAY 3 PRAGUE TO KRAKOW, POLAND. Wawel Castle could only be built after a cobbler’s apprentice did the impossible: He slayed a dragon with a sheep full of sulphur. A city with history like that needs to be explored so we take you through Old Town and the largest medieval market square in Europe. (B,D) DAY 4 KRAKOW. Make yourself a ‘seasoned’ traveller by taking the optional tour through the Wieliczka Salt Mine. It houses 30 statues, a cathedral and has more than 3.5 kilometres of walking tracks. Did we mention its goes 327 metres underground? (B) DAY 5 KRAKOW TO BRATISLAVA, SLOVAKIA. We tour through Auschwitz-Birkenau in remembrance of the atrocities played out there before heading to Slovakia. A guided tour through Bratislava will perk you up again, just in time to make the most of a city that has a UFO for a restaurant (if you’ve got the funds). (B,D) DAY 6 BRATISLAVA TO VIENNA, AUSTRIA. Mozart, Beethoven and Freud called Vienna home and they left a huge impression on the world. The reason? Lots and lots of coffee. Visit a wiener kaffeehaus (coffee house) before getting Bach on track with an optional Viennese Concert. (B)

DAY 1 BUDAPEST, HUNGARY. Buda, Pest or Obuda. That’s what you would have called this city a couple of hundred years ago. After a fancy unification between an Emperor and a King, the cities became one. Tonight, get to know which side you are on (hint: check the name of the roads near the river) and your new travel buddies over a Hungarian feast, generally meaning gigantic sizes and lots of goulash. Whispers among travellers claim Budapest has the best nightlife in Europe, so venture into the night and onto the streets to see what the gossip is all about. Don’t let the name ‘ruin bar’ deter you, as one of them was voted the best bar in the world. The fun part? Exploring them all to find it. (D) DAY 2 BUDAPEST. Enjoy your recollections of last night's fun times over breakfast. With sleep for the weak, we're straight into a guided tour of Budapest. Exploring the cosmopolitan city centre you'll take in sights such as Heroes Square and St Stephen's Cathedral. This afternoon, feel like a King with entry into Budapest’s most famous attraction, Buda Castle. With parts of the castle nearly 1,000 years old, Instagram heaven awaits those who choose to explore Fisherman’s Bastion. Just watch out for knights and dragons. The rest of the day? Up to you. Explore. Eat. Enjoy. (B)

DAY 3 BUDAPEST. Step 1: Game face on. Step 2: Eat a big lunch. Step 3: Get ready for one of the biggest nights as Budapest sure knows kow do do this. Superstition is high today in the capital, don’t be surprised if you see locals making constant noise to scare off demons (some will even carry a bullwhip with a cracker). If you want to do the day right: don’t get into an argument, don’t do your laundry and definitely don’t sew anything, it will bring you good fortune. Lucky for you, you’ll spend the day chilling out in the city's many baths to avoid any troubles for your future. Tonight though, the Danube is going to explode in fireworks in one of the coolest spectacles you’ll ever see. If that's not your scene, there are bars and clubs open 'til sunrise. (B) DAY 4 BUDAPEST. Whether you will wake up clear of mind or with hazy memories of the best night ever, we have brought in the New Year, and this sadly means that our Budapest New Year's experience finishes after breakfast.

DAY 3 VALENCIA (BUÑOL & LA TOMATINA). It’s an early start in the morning as we travel by private coach to Buñol for the world’s biggest food fight– La Tomatina. Tens of thousands of revellers make the journey to this small Spanish village each year geared up for a day to remember. The atmosphere building up to the ‘fight’ is like one big street party,with the occasional water fight added in just for fun! Technically the festival doesn’t kick off until someone has climbed a ‘greased pole’ to retrieve a ham, however a cannon blast will also signal the start of the onslaught at approximately 11.00am. At this time huge trucks full of tomatoes roll through the street dropping their loads in the middle of the packed crowds. The fight lasts for an hour, at which time another cannon blast indicates the end of the battle. It’s then time to clean up as best you can before heading back to Valencia for a shower and a well-earned rest. (B)

COUNTRIES VISITED

DAY 1 DUBROVNIK, CROATIA. Make your way to Dubrovnik to meet up with your fellow Topdeckers. We’ll start the trip with the chance to explore this great city by foot before you enjoy dinner and the chance to share travel tales. The nightlife here isn’t bad either if you’re up for it. (D)

ON THE BUCKET LIST (INCLUDED)

DAY 2 DUBROVNIK TO SARAJEVO, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA VIA MOSTAR. A city still known for the tragic legacy of its 1990s war is now a flourishing European city. En route, we’ll make a stop at Mostar to visit a landmark which typifies this rebirth. The16th century Stari Most bridge was destroyed during the war but has been restored to its former glory in the years since. Arriving into Sarajevo, we’ll get our bearings with a driving tour before dinner. (B,D)

DAY 3 SARAJEVO. A free day in Sarajevo gives you a great opportunity to explore the city’s past. Why not wander through the beautiful old town or take a tour of the bunkers and war tunnel built by Bosnian forces underneath the airport’s runway? Make sure you make a stop at the plaque outside the Museum of Sarajevo which marks the spot where Franz Ferdinand was shot – the event that triggered WW1. (B)

DAY 7 BUDAPEST TO SZIGET. This is the start of the main event but it’s our first day at Sziget. #Excited. The line-up for 2016 is still to be announced but with bands such as Robbie Williams, Florence and the machine, Avicii and Kasabian at last year's event, we're betting on some big stars. But it’s not all about the main stage – indulge every musical whim with dance, house, pop, rock and everything in between. (B)

DAY 6 BELGRADE TO BUDAPEST, HUNGARY. Your chance to find out why Budapest often rides high in lists of European must-dos. Arriving into the city we’ll take a tour to see the main sights and make sure you’ve got your bearings. After dinner why not find out why ruin bars are top of the pops right now. (B,D)

Don’t let the name ‘ruin bar’ deter you, as one of them was voted the best bar in the world. The fun part? Exploring them all to find it. (D) DAY 2 BUDAPEST. Enjoy your recollections of last night's fun times over breakfast. With sleep for the weak, we're straight into a guided tour of Budapest to see the main sights and make sure you’ve got your bearings. Exploring the cosmopolitan city centre you'll take in sights such as Heroes Square and St Stephen's Cathedral. Instagram heaven awaits those who choose to explore Fisherman’s Bastion. Just watch out for knights and dragons. The rest of the day? Up to you. Explore. Eat. Enjoy. (B) DAY 3 SZIGET. Far from us to suggest this is the start of the main event but it’s our first day at Sziget. #Excited. The line-up for 2015 had some huge star power - Florence and the Machine, Kasabian, Avicii, Alt-J, Knife Party, Foals, and that’s without reading so much as the first third down the page. But it’s not all about the main stage – indulge every musical whim with dance, house, pop, rock and everything in between. (B) DAY 4 SZIGET.

Prague is yours today. Also: a glasnost nostalgia fix at the Museum of Communism. (B) DAY 5 VIENNA, AUSTRIA. Three things you need to know about Vienna: opera, coffee and apple strudel. They also invented the croissant. Sorry, France. (B) DAY 6 BUDAPEST, HUNGARY. Swapping symphonies for the impending euphoria of Sziget. Find out why Budapest often rides high in lists of European mustdos. Hint: it’s probably a mix of thermal baths, 1,000 year-old castles and all that goulash. Budapest is rumoured to have the best nightlife in Europe, so venture into the night and onto the streets to see what the gossip is all about. (B,D)

OFFICIALLY THE WORLD’S BIGGEST PARTY, OKTOBERFEST DRAWS A CROWD OF SEVEN MILLION PEOPLE EVERY YEAR TO CELEBRATE THE THREE BEST THINGS TO COME OUT OF GERMANY: beer, bratwurst and pretzels. The dress code is Bavarian classic, lederhosen are optional and singing, hugging and dancing on tables is encouraged. Prost!

DAY 1 MUNICH, GERMANY. Wilkommen in München, welcome to Munich! Arrive today and make your way to our hostel for a welcome meeting and walking tour. The evening is yours to do as you please - why not try some delicious pork knuckles and sauerkraut in one of Munich’s beer houses.

ON THE BUCKET LIST (INCLUDED)

DAY 2 MUNICH. What first began as a horse race in a field to celebrate the wedding of Bavarian Prince Ludwig in the beginning of the 19th century has subsequently grown into the world’s largest festival, attracting upwards of six million visitors every year! Join the crowds and check out what it’s all about, there’s more to do here than just drink beer although there is a lot of beer drinking done! Over the two weeks some seven million litres of beer will be consumed in the various brewery-run tents. Order yourself one of the colossal one-litre glasses of beer, known in the local dialect as a ‘maß’ (pronounced ‘muss’) and get ready to sing along with the obligatory ‘oompah band’. Enjoy what is likely to be one of the most memorable days of your life. Prost! (B)

This site just north of Munich was the first Concentration Camp in Germany, now preserved as a memorial to the millions that perished in the Holocaust. We return to Munich this afternoon to spend our final night at the Oktoberfest grounds, or for those wishing to rest the liver why not jump on one of the many carnival rides or head into the city for some sightseeing!

The maximum weight of your main bag must not exceed 44lbs/20kgs. Size for all bags must not exceed 70cm (height) x 45cm (width) x 25cm (depth).

DO I NEED TO CHANGE MONEY BEFORE I LEAVE? We recommend that you change

approximately €100 in cash before departure and the equivalent of around €30 into Swiss Francs (if your trip goes through Switzerland). This will cover you for spending money until you have the chance to change more or visit an ATM. ATMs are extremely common throughout all European countries. If you are visiting any other countries outside of the 'Eurozone' you will find that most of them accept euros as payment, or you will be able to withdraw local currency from an ATM after arriving in the country. This is the most convenient way to access local currency, just make sure to notify your bank of your travel plans before you depart.

We reserve the right to alter or substitute the type or size of vehicle, or style of transport mentioned in the brochure, depending on the number of passengers carried, which can vary from trip to trip. Normally the maximum group size is 48 passengers. Please also note there are strict laws in Europe governing Driver’s driving hours and this may necessitate utilizing public transport in some cities. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU 13. Save where the provisions of Force Majeure apply, in the event that the trip does not reasonably comply with the description in the brochure, Topdeck may compensate You to a maximum value equal to twice the price of the trip but excluding insurance premiums and amendment fees AND Topdeck will only be liable to pay the maximum amount of compensation where there has been a total failure of consideration for your payment. 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 trip and where the failure is unforeseeable or unavoidable (c) unusual and 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). 14. If You are killed, injured or become ill during or as a result of, carriage by ship, train or coach forming part of the trip in circumstances where such death, injury or illness is not caused by or contributed to by You our liability to pay damages and/ or the amount of compensation we will be liable to pay is limited in accordance with the liability of a carrier under any international Convention applicable to such events, including, but not limited to: • In respect of carriage by sea, the Athens Convention; • In respect of the provision of accommodation, the Paris Convention; • In respect of carriage by rail, the Berne Convention; and, * In respect of carriage by road, the Geneva Convention. 15. The terms of these Conventions are incorporated into and form part of our contract with You. You should know that the carrier will rely upon its ‘conditions of carriage’ which may limit or remove the carrier’s liability to You and limit compensation under any international Conventions. Our liability will also, in all cases, be limited in accordance with relevant carrier conditions of carriage. If Your trip is an ‘excepted trip’ as outlined 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 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 relevant operator. Your legal rights in connection with such trips are against the specific operator and are not against us, except to the extent a problem is caused by fault on our part. 16. In the event that Topdeck (or its insurers) make any payment to You for death, personal injury or illness, You must give us or our insurers all and any rights You may have to take action against the party responsible for causing the death, personal injury or illness and You must co-operate fully with us in seeking recovery of any payment we may make from such party. 17. 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 because of the number of countries visited on trips 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 stressed in our publication. The final decision on the itinerary and the content of the trip 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. 18. 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 19. Topdeck and/or its associated staff partners and suppliers makes no warranties or representations in relation to implied or explicit suggestion and/or recommendation for services, activities and events not highlighted as included in the related trip(s). Information not explicitly noted as included is provided 'as is' and intended to be general in nature so may not be suitable for your particular needs. It is essential that you ensure that any/all risk associated with getting to/from, the participation in or visitation of any area, activity, event or venue is in-line with your expectations and suitably covered under your travel insurance

20. 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 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 the UK, or 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.

8. 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 therefore reserve the sole right, at our discretion, to 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:

21. 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 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”).

ROLLING DEPOSIT VOUCHER Any cancellation within 6 weeks which incurs more than deposit charge is not applicable to this offer. The Rolling Deposit Voucher (RDV) may only be used as a deposit on one future Topdeck trip 4 days of length or more. Only one Rolling Deposit may be applied per trip. The RDV has no expiry date, but the passenger must be aged between 18 to 39 years to travel as per the travel conditions of Topdeck Travel. The RDV will equate to the initial deposit amount paid. If redeeming against a trip with a lower deposit amount, the remainder of the voucher will be forfeited. If redeeming against a trip with a higher deposit amount the balance will be payable at time of booking. The RDV has no cash value and cannot be transferred to another customer.

HEALTH AND MEDICAL CONDITIONS 23. If You have a medical condition or disability which may affect your trip, we ask that You inform us in writing at the time of booking the trip of any special arrangements required by You so that we are able to advise as to the suitability of those arrangements. If we reasonably feel we are unable to satisfactorily accommodate your particular needs, we reserve the right to 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 24. 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 whereby 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 where 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. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS 25. Please ensure You carefully read your invoice, tickets and all other documents we send to You as soon as You receive them, and contact your travel agent, or us 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 your agent. While we will do our best to rectify any changes made outside this time, it is your responsibility to meet any additional costs which may be involved, except in the case of an error made by Topdeck and where there is reasonable justification for You not contacting us within the specified time. You are responsible for ensuring that all necessary travel documents including, but not limited to, passports, visas and vaccination certificates are valid and subsisting. We strongly recommend that You verify current documentation requirements and all other relevant protocols and procedures associated with your trip 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. INSURANCE 26. 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. 27. You hereby 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. 28. In the event of You making a claim against Topdeck arising out of the trip, You hereby assign to us, any rights to take action against any third party supplier or any other person or party that Topdeck reasonably considers to be a party to the action and to co-operate fully with Topdeck should Topdeck or its insurers wish to enforce those rights which have been assigned to Topdeck. 29. In the event that 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. 30. In the event of You not making a claim before 5 working days of the maximum length of time permitted by your policy, You must assign, by letter sent by courier delivery to Topdeck not less than 5 working days prior to the said specified time, the benefit of the policy and give immediate notice of such an assignment to your insurer. COMPLAINTS 31. 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 notify the Trip Leader of any problem immediately may prejudice Topdeck and may result in your ability to claim compensation from us being extinguished 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 and may extinguish your claim. 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 32. 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 33. Topdeck operates a non-smoking policy on our coaches (although we make frequent stops for breaks), and in most of our accommodation. LUGGAGE 34. There are strict weight limits for coaches when fully loaded. Therefore 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. In addition You may bring a sleeping bag, as required on specific trips, and a daypack. FINANCIAL PROTECTION 35. The Company is a member of ABTA (L8291/Y2992) and is bonded to provide for your financial protection in the event of the Company’s insolvency. GENERAL 36. You understand 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. 37. No servant, agent, employee or representative of the Company has any right to alter, vary or waive any of these Conditions, nor undertake any activity likely to lead to increased liability whatsoever on behalf of Topdeck unless such be in writing and signed by a duly authorised person. 38. All contracts for bookings made with Topdeck, for trips in this brochure, are governed by English law and are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts in the UK, should any dispute between us not be otherwise amicably agreed.
