Tower?

MEALS
Your included meals are detailed in the 'Included Essentials' section of this document.
Breakfasts (usually continental breakfasts) are included every day, except on the first morning of your trip. A typical continental breakfast may
consist of cereals with milk or yogurt, bread, croissants, cold meats, and cheese – with fruit juice, tea or coffee to drink. It is rare to get a hot
breakfast in continental Europe, though on some occasions some hot food may be available.
Included meals will be provided at local restaurants and the accommodations in which we stay. In most cases, table water is provided with
meals. If you wish to purchase additional drinks, you can do so at your own expense.
If you have any dietary requirements, we’ll make every effort to cater to your needs – as long as you advise your travel agent or Customer
Service Consultant when you book. You can also make a note of dietary requirements in the Topdeck app when you check-in.
PLEASE NOTE: Although we’ll do everything in our power to cater to your needs, we cannot guarantee this will be possible in every restaurant we
visit. We also cannot cater to tastes or dislikes, as most of our included evening meals feature a set menu.
Your Topdeck Trip Leaders and Drivers never expect tips, and they won’t ask for any either. We also know how much tipping can cost you. So
go ahead – spoil yourself with the money you save travelling with us (just don’t forget Mum’s souvenir).
