Gate 1 TravelReviews of gate1travel.com

I have traveled 11 times with Gate 1 and always had a positive experience. Sometimes I booked my own flights. The hotels were always 4 star and the tour manager was helpful. Sometimes the city tours were only average but still informative. I added extra hotel nights without a problem. One time, 3 of us extended our flights while we were in Munich with no issue. I've booked a trip to England & Scotland in April 2026. I've referred many people who have referred others.

Amazing trip to Egypt in February 2024. Our tour guide Walid was phenomenal. Kind, patient, positive and incredibly well educated.

We recently went on a Gate 1 Riverboat cruise on the Danube River on the Monarch Queen....12 days ...Prague, Pilsen, Passau, Melk Abbey, Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest. We upgraded our room to a stateroom...the staff was wonderful! The weather was pretty warm for Europe in June...almost 100 degrees each day..but the guides were great and did the best they could to keep up cool! This was our 7th trip with Gate 1 and always a fantastic time!!!

I booked the 16 days Egypt with Jordan tour. On the highlights page it said that Jordan visa is included. I booked my own flights so I called the agent to confirm visa situation. He told me that it is not, since I booked my own flight and airport transfer. He spoke to his manager and assured me this will be remedied by Gate1. After some back and forth emails and review left on this forum, a representative reached to me within hours, and let me know that I will be reimbursed for this due to the misunderstanding. Also, Gate1 will edit the highlights page to avoid future confusions. I changed my review accordingly to reflect this. I’ve had positive experiences with Gate 1 for 10 years. The quality of the packages offered and customer support deserve recognition

A little late on writing this review! My husband and I had the incredible opportunity to join the 14 Day Classic Greece with Crete & Santorini Tour. It was truly a trip of a lifetime! From the breathtaking ancient ruins to the picturesque islands, every moment of this journey was unforgettable. However, what truly made the experience exceptional was our amazing tour manger, Marianna. From the very start, Marianna was warm, knowledgeable, and extremely organized. She made sure every detail was taken care of, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the beauty of Greece. She also went above and beyond to accommodate everyone's needs, offering personalized recommendations for dining, shopping, and off-the-beaten-path experiences that we would have never discovered on our own. It felt like we were traveling with a local friend who was eager to share the best of Greece with us. The logistics were seamless, from transportation to accommodations. Marianna handled everything with grace and professionalism, making the tour smooth and enjoyable. Thank you Marianna for making our first trip with Gate1Travel a great experience! I must add that the bus drivers were remarkable, and very skilled in navigating the sometimes very narrow and steep roads of Greece. They were also, a very important part of our trip and added to the pleasure of this awesome tour. Thanks for the smooth ride! Looking forward to many more tours with Gate 1 Travel and would highly recommend booking with Gate 1 Travel!

We just returned from a 10 day trip to Ireland. Our tour guide, Lenny, was fantastic . Very knowledgeable and adjusted our schedule seamlessly based on the weather, group desires and crowds. We couldn’t have been more happy with our first Gate1 experience (we actually just booked our second Gate1 before finishing this one!). Our driver Mike Cash was equally adept and friendly. We were referred to Gate1 by three separate acquaintances who were all equally satisfied.

Just back from a Gate One 8 day Essential South Africa Tour & I have to say it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. The tour leader Maggie was exceptional as was our bus driver Eddie. Both were knowledgeable , friendly & efficent. The accommodation was excellent & Marbula Game Reserve was hands down the best experience . The food , staff , rooms were all wonderful. The game drives were amazing & I saw many of the big 5. The sundowners on the africian plains was so awesome. The dinner under a huge fig tree in the open was also exceptional , I dont know how the staff at Marbula manage this in the middle of nowhere !!!! I am a solo female traveller & joined the Gate One tour , there was 23 of us & we all got along so well , the best travel companions ever . Thank You Gate One & especially our tour leader Maggie & Bus driver Eddie for making this trip a magical experience.

My husband and I went on a Seine River cruise in April 2025 with a 2-day Paris extension. I couldn't have been more happy with our experience. Even with the challenges of touring during the Easter holiday, the staff, especially Nad and Kristina, went out of their way to make sure our needs were taken care of. We will definitely tour with Gate 1 again.
