We've traveled to Europe, Asia, and Africa with Gate 1 and have enjoyed each journey. Travel is our passion and we take independent trips as well, but a group tour with Gate 1 is very easy, affordable, and you see so much. Their guides are outstanding. Their hotels vary depending on the level of travel (Affordable, Classic, Luxury) but they are always clean and safe. Breakfasts are always included on the tours and they are quite good. Dinners vary from place to place. They usually don't include too many dinners on each tour and that's fine with me since I'd rather dine independently. Very trustworthy company and easy to do business with.
