OUR TRAVEL MANAGER WAS THE GREATEST. HE WAS SO INTERESTING AND PAID SUCH CLOSE ATTENTION TO OUR COMFORT AND SAFETY. ALL OF OUR ACCOMMIDATIONS WERE FANTASTIC. THE BUS DRIVER WAS AMAZING AND THE PORTER SO HELPFUL. I AM DISABLED AND HE WAS SO GOOD TO ME. THE STAFF AT THE HOTELS WERE SO FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. TRUE HOSPITALITY!!

We have been on 14 Gate1 tours to date…with 3 more booked. They are an excellent tour company and their itineraries are interesting and well organized and the tour directors excellent. We only had one complaint about a tour director…after Covid. We would recommend them highly.

Tour Manager Beatrice Jakubowski If God designs tour managers, Beatrice Jakubowski is His masterpiece. Or one of His elites. She weaves her organized, efficient, on-top-of-things, profound historicity & current statistics knowledge skills into her great sense of natural charm & humor. Translates history and current events with some hilarity that kills travel fatigue. Skilled in calming stressed tourists w/ perma-pressed smile. Amazing polyglot, she excites long rides with a new language teach-in daily with appropriate accents! Daily acknowledges driver as part of tour team. Patient, genuinely kind, beautiful mind, character, beautiful person. Gate 1 is very blessed to have Beatrice put a 5 star on travel. Love our Christmas Markets Switzerland - France Dec 4-11 tour. Too short!

We just got back from our first tour with Gate 1 and I can honestly say we have absolutely NO COMPLAINTS whatsoever!! From booking to our travel paperwork, to every tiny detail, it was a wonderful experience! We went to Italy, started In Venice and a gate 1 representative met us at the airport to get us to our water taxi to take us to our hotel. Our tour guide, Ana, was waiting at our hotel for us as we arrived. She was amazing, well organized, and gave very good instructions, and tips as we traveled with our group! She is very knowledgeable about her country and you can really tell that she loves Italy and is proud to share it with her groups! We had a great group and by the time our trip was over, we had all become friends. Every one of the local guides we had in Venice, Florence, Rome, Pompeii, Assisi and Almafi was fabulous as well. The hotels were all very nice for a “value” trip. We were not expecting them to be so nice, but they were nicer than any hotels we have ever stayed in. Having the bus, the driver, being dropped off at the front door of your hotel and at all our tours/excursions, Ana pre-checking us in and handing our our keys when we arrived at a new location, your luggage magically showing up at your hotel room— it was a dream. They thought of everything, down to a box breakfast on our last day, to take in the car on our trip to the Naples airport because we had to leave before breakfast was served at our Sorrento hotel! Ana was in the lobby waiting for every person in our group on our last day to see us off to the airport regardless of how early we needed to leave. She made sure we had our boxed breakfast and explained where we needed to go to get to the check in area for our airline at the airport. She was a blast! Many of the people in our group had taken SEVERAL gate 1 tours and were pleased with every experience. The prices are very reasonable and you get to see a ton of stuff, but yet still had some free time to yourself to explore on your own. This was an amazing experience and I still don’t know how they manage to do it so well without missing the tiniest detail. We are already looking for our next trip to book with them! Don and Dianna

Hi fellow travelers, I normally do not write reviews unless something occurred that is of an extraordinary nature. This is one of those times I feel compelled to write about Gate 1 Travel, in particular one of its agents named Claudia Rodriguez who completely went out of her way to assist me with my upcoming Rhine River cruise. You see, at the time of booking, there was only one departure/arrival airport available (NYC) and since we live in Las Vegas, I spent much time trying to book/coordinate our flights to/from NYC so that we could connect with the international flights. Due to the international flights' early departure/late arrival times in NYC, we would need to spend a day (both ways) in a hotel in NYC as there was nothing early/late enough that would otherwise allow us to connect with the overseas flights. I called this morning and was connected to Ms. Rodriguez. This lady absolutely made our day by patiently going through her system and taking much more time than necessary but ultimately finding an option for us to fly from Las Vegas to/from Amsterdam and Basil. Moreover, she was able to find us a fare that upgraded us to premium economy which is cheaper than the cost of our round-trip flights to/from NYC. Additionally, we would not need to spend time and money for two extra days in a hotel in NYC!! Imagine this...more comfortable flying in premium economy, less hassle in checking in/out of hotels, saved two days and much more economical overall!! This does not happen often! Ms. Rodriguez helped us tirelessly, patiently, compassionately and with an upmost professional attitude! Because of her, Gate 1 absolutely and unequivocally earned my trust and continued business. This company is lucky to have someone like Ms. Rodriguez working for them. Cudos to Gate 1 and Ms. Rodriguez!! Thank you so much.

Excellent itinerary for reasonable price. Good trip leaders. They give customers opportunity for independent experiences with guidence for good outcomes. They do not schedule every minute of every day. 16 time Gate 1 traveler

I have been on many tours and this one was amazing. And I want to Acknowledge that our tour guide made this trip spectacular and a primer for return trips to Sicily and gate 1. Riccardo Panareo guided us through our tour with compassion and a true love ❤️ of Italy. Not only did he make us feel comfortable but he also was patient and caring. “Piano ….Piano”

We are just returning from a 10day New England Fall Foliage tour. How wonderful! We were impressed and very pleased with the accommodations, the food, the ports of call, and especially the flexibility of our tour guide Kathy. She was uplifting and gave us her best weather permitting.
