Gate 1 TravelReviews of gate1travel.com

We have taken six tours with Gate 1 and have never been disappointed! Unfortunately, I think people tend to come onto review sites when they are frustrated. However, having read some of the reviews, people blame Gate 1 for their own mistakes--eg. Not taking out insurance and then expecting the company to reimburse them. We have always been very happy with the hotels, tour guides and the excursions! Heading away with them in a couple more months again!

Donna was an exceptional tour leader on our recent New England in the Fall tour. She went over and above the call of duty to make us all feel welcome and comfortable. Well organised and fun tour.

This is my 5th Gate 1 Tour and they NEVER disappoint! Most recent tour was to Turkey and just can't say enough. Have been to Peru, China, Budapest, Prague and Paris. Do not hesitate you are in good hands and can't beat the value!

Gate 1 Travel is an amazing company. For starters, booking our trip to Ireland was easy, complete and priced reasonably. Next, our bus driver, Mark, a very kind gentleman, navigated all the twisty-turny roads like a master. And most important, our tour guide, Jill, was incredible! Her knowledge of all the towns, roads, pubs, Irish traditions, and folklore, was nonstop. Her sense of humor and the details of everything made a wonderful trip more memorable than we had expected. My only criticism is that not one of our rooms (in any of the hotels) had a view other than back parking lots, roofs of buildings, or high walls. Other than that, we highly recommend Gate 1 Travel.

My wife and I just completed our 2nd Gate1 trip, this one the Heritage trip to Philly, Williamsburg, Gettysburg, Charleston, and DC. When asked what was our favorite stop, our answer: Valley Forge, Independence Hall, Museum of American Revolution, Historic Philadelphia, Gettysburg Battlefield, Monticello, Jamestown, Williamsburg, Arlington, Lincoln Memorial, Mall of America, Ford Theatre, the Smithsonian, Mt . Vernon and the Korean and Viet Nam tribute exhibits. There was more and it was wonderful and hard to believe we did this all in 8 days. Our tour guide was wonderful, everything was well-planned. Thank you, Joan Schultz and Gate1!

We took Gate 1 trip 16 Days Scotland and Ireland on October 2023 and it was outstanding. The hotel were well located and the food delicious. But what made this tour so special was our Tour Director Patrick King, he was professional, knowledgeable and very organized with a great sense of humor. He went above and beyond as a Tour guide ( Gate 1 is so lucky to have him) Our Driver Kevin Nelson was so sweet, funny and an excellent driver, we always felt safe with him. Again, Thank you Gate 1 for giving us a wonderful experience in Scotland and Ireland. Luz Babilonia.

I have been on 12 gate 1 trips, they provide excellent value, great 4 star hotels, well informed tour guides, all for the lowest prices that I have found.

We travelled with Gate1 in May 2023 for an Amazon Express guided tour. We did some research before booking online and were skeptical, but for the sick promotion they had online, we figured it was worth a try, especially after reading all amazing reviews from satisfied customers. We were stunned by how well everything was planned, and backed up in situations where due to the unpredictable weather in the rainforest, things had to be changed last minute. The food was custom fit for every person, delicious and served right on time. Our guide and driver were friendly and very knowledgeable. They made us feel very comfortable from the first interaction. It was definitely a trip we would never be able to replicate without a trusted tour provider, and our expectations were well exceeded. Highly recommend and will definitely be using again.
