Spain & Portugal
Reviews
It was great and would like to take this opportunity to thank Gate 1 for great services and most especially our tour manager Rolando. from Spain for his awesome personality and making sure we are well taken cared of. Thank you Gate 1!
Karen R.Overall my experience with Gate1 was phenomenal, may it be independent tour or escorted. I already told my friends about it and Gate 1 didn't disappoint and 100%recommended. I was very impressed how seamless were my vacations were. And I will be going again the next few months with Gate 1...that speaks how very satisfied I am!
Karen R.Trip was amazing! Jose manager tour guide was so professional, kind and amazing too!! The driver is wonderful! Overall it's much more than I expected... I'm so thrilled with hotels and their breakfast. My first time with escorted trip. Last 10 years I have told to ppl so much about gate one..my friends and family are very very pleased after they have tried. Thank you for doing that. Best of best.
Tina V.This is the second time I traveled with Gate 1. This time I traveled to Spain with my husband and 10 of my friends who had never traveled with Gate 1 before. Some of them were first time travelers to Europe. Gate 1 went above and beyond their expectation. First, we have a knowledgeable, friendly and professional tour guide, Andrea. He made sure that we are all safe. He was kind and patient enough with us. He made sure too that we have fun in every destination that we visited. The hotels are clean, accessible to transportation if we need to go to places that we love to see during our own leisure time. We had sumptuous breakfast everyday and the dinner provided for us was also world class. We were even surprised with a free lunch. That was a great experience indeed. Spain is an amazing place to visit indeed, especially with Gate 1. My friends would love to travel with Gate 1 again. Thanks to Gate 1 for the excellent service!
Jeaneth P.Just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with our travel to Portugal and Spain the end of Feb. March. It was fabulous!! Alex, our tour manager, made us feel welcome and safe throughout our time. Our bus driver Marco, was also great! We enjoyed all the tour guides and their information in every city we visited. Everything was so organized and well planned. I've been telling everyone what a wonderful time we had and to use Gate 1. I had read some of the reviews beforehand and wasn't sure, but this trip changed my mind and I hope to travel again soon. We met so many wonderful people in our group. Terrific experience!!!
Susan P.My wife Jennifer and I just returned from our trip to Portugal and Spain. Our guide Lisa was amazing! In fact, all of the guides and drivers were wonderful. I have already recommended Gate1 to friends who were looking to travel to Spain. This was our second trip with your company, and I am so impressed. We are planning many more tours with Gate1!
John S.Rui was an extraordinary tour guide he was knowledgeable about everything we visited. He provided context, and history. He was very engaging and our time together was really fun and interesting. We all got along well and Rui helped make our time in Portugal both welcoming and memorable. We will definitely travel Gate 1 again. Well done. Our driver Philippe was incredible. He navigated a large coach bus through terrain with ear and grace. He did it well and he did it safely.
Cherie D.Had an amazing 10 day Affordable Spain trip! Gate 1 does an awesome job with all of the travel arrangements. The hotels were all extremely nice and centrally located within walking distance to many of the local sites, restaurants and shopping. The itinerary was great as it allowed us to visit many of the beautiful sites from Madrid to Barcelona and everything in between. Carmen, our tour guide, and Pedro, the bus driver, were absolutely wonderful. Carmen is extremely knowledgeable and kept the tour on schedule. I absolutely loved having Carmen as our tour guide. This was my 4th Gate 1 tour and I'm certain it will not be my last.
Tania H.Affordable Spain was great - first time of my now 54 G1 trips that I have taken the Affordable option (but really they all are!), but it was a winner - all the benefits and inclusions of a Classic tour just taken in the off-season, with fewer crowds and so great to escape the frigid NE winter with warmer temperatures for a week. A circle tour that starts and ends in the capital Madrid, which makes for easy flight connections. I have been to Spain several times, but loved revisiting places like Toledo and the Alhambra in Granada, without the high season hordes of people. And the one new place for me on this tour, Cordoba, I just loved - the Mezquita de Cordoba is amazing to see. A very well paced tour with a visit and walking tour of a major city or sight each day, and then also enough free time to be able to explore more and to find interesting places for lunch and dinner on days they are not included. The hotels were all excellent and well located, and rooms were spacious and modern - breakfasts were buffet style and delicious and plentiful and loved the added Spanish touches like hot chocolate and churros! Finally - our group of 31 was driven safely and courteously by the very personable Manuel and led with style and perfect organization by our tour manager Ana, who was lovely and helped make everything run flawlessly. Thanks as always and for me now a January Affordable trip will become a regular occurrence!
Lorraine P.It was great! Our tour manager, Catia, was 5 star all the way. She was so knowledgeable and organized everything beautifully. The drivers and additional site guides were so fun and made the trip exceptional. All the hotels and meals were wonderful. I especially liked that the hotels were all so centrally located so walking was convenient. The "on our own time" was perfect. Thanks, and hope to go on another trip with Travel Zone again.
Barbara V.I just wanted to sing the praises our tour manager and driver for my recent trip to Spain. I feel like I hit the jackpot with this dynamic duo. I know I'm misspelling their names, Ai-maya and Timo, but I just want to make sure they get credit for being so wonderful. Both have fantastic personalities that make you feel part of a family and not just part of a tour. I've taken quite a few group tours over the years (with Gate 1 and other companies) and this one is favorite because of all of their hard work ... so I want to make sure I recognize both for being so amazing. Cheers to these two ... and of course, beautiful Spain!
Lisa G.Estefania was the absolute best travel guide for our entire tour. She was organized, friendly, very knowledgeable and took EXCELLENT care of our group. We hand some schedule changes and she handled everything efficiently and smoothly. She added some "WOW" moments for our group (pastries, tapas and an aerial gondola ride down Montserrat) that made us feel special and very lucky indeed. We all became great friends and by the time the trip was over, it was hard to say goodbye to everyone, and most especially Estefi. She is just such a wonderful person and guide, we LOVED HER. Let me know what other tours she will be in charge of in the future and we will be sure to sign up. Gate1 Travel, you've got a rare diamond in Estefi!! She is nothing short of amazing!
Suzanne H.just a quick note about our recent trip to Portugal. Carla was our tour guide and she was exceptional!! Her knowledge, communication, sense of humor and just caring about every traveler went way beyond! This is our 3rd trip with Gate1 ( we had always used other tour companies on previous trips, Viking, Grand Circle etc) but Gate1 far exceeds all these tour companies. We recommend to all our family and friends! Basically what sets you apart are your tour guides!! We can't wait for our next trip with Gate 1!!
Brenda T.Our Portugal Gate 1 Tour was fantastic. Miquel was endearing, super organized, super knowledgeable, and super engaging. He kept the whole group upbeat and fascinated with Portugal, its history and culture, it's folkways and food. Miquel's "mojo" kept the rain away, too! That's why our Douro River cruise was so remarkable and memorable. Louie was a skillful bus driver. Portugal is beautiful and Miguel, as well as local guides in Lisbon and Porto, made its history come alive. This was a lovely, compatible, friendly group of fellow travelers, led and inspired by Miquel and that always makes a Gate 1 tour special.
Francine C.They were 13 unforgettable days, full of history and culture of the Iberian Peninsula. From Lisbon to Barcelona, every day was an experience and a journey through time. Portugal is beautiful and its people are friendly and hospitable. Spain is full of culture and history, with monuments, parks and museums that describe the passage of time. The landscapes, buildings, and places we visited transported us back in time, and everything was masterfully presented by each tour guide. Eva, Isabela, Monse, Juan, Egui and José, all of them, in an excellent and professional manner, presented relevant details of the facts and historical details of each area we visited. The performance of the tour manager, Daniel, was exceptional, and not forgetting the bus drivers, who diligently took us to different places and took care of us in safe manner. The hotels were in perfect locations, close to everything, easy access, and good quality service. I can't put into words how much we learned and fun we had, the places we visited, the people we met and shared, and the atmosphere we had. Everything was beautiful and exceeded all our expectations. We left Spain and Portugal, with a sweet taste in our mouths, and dreaming of returning, because Spain and Portugal are beautiful. Thank you Gate 1 and Daniel, for designing such a spectacular tour with high quality service.
Teresa C.I want to tell you that Rui was one OUTSTANDING guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, funny, passionate about his country and very professional. Communication was efficient & reinforced verbally & written with daily schedules. I just can't say enough about him! He made me love Portugal & want to return!
Patricia H.Our trip to Portugal and Spain was beyond expectations. The architecture, history and scenery were spectacular. I am a Gaudi fan and was in awe of Sagrada Familia while in Barcelona. Our tour manager, Victor kept everything running smoothly and on time. He went out of his way to accommodate everyone and kept us laughing.
Paul R.I want to say that the walking tour in Portugal/Spain was INCREDIBLE. It exceeded my expectations in every way, and was one of the most unique agency-run trips I've ever taken. The guides were so knowledgeable and full of positive energy. The activities were also unique -- tour of artist's studio, boat tour of the Camino de Santiago, etc. It rained the entire time and even that didn't detract from this amazing experience. I can see how this trip might not be right for a lot of the, say, typical Gate 1 consumers; I do hope that Gate 1 continues to offer more active/adventurous trips in the future, despite it not being the right fit for some of your clientele. I think this type of tour can attract a younger, more adventure-seeking crowd and I know? my same-age friends (40-somethings) will be interested in these types of trips.
Jennifer W.This was our 11th Gate 1 trip, and I must say that it exceeded our expectations. Our first walking tour took us from Portugal to Santiago de Compostela and was an unforgettable journey filled with incredible sights and experiences. The guides, Rosana and Clara, were absolutely wonderful, offering insightful knowledge, genuine warmth, and unwavering support throughout the walking tour, which I also consider to also be a pilgrimage as we walked along some of the same paths as are walked by pilgrims doing El Camino Portuguese ending at the amazing Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Their passion for the route and dedication to ensuring everyone had a meaningful experience truly made the trip extraordinary. We encountered some bad weather along the way, but Rosana and Clara went the extra mile to ensure that we were safe and enjoyed our journey notwithstanding the weather. The breathtaking landscapes, the cultural immersion, and the camaraderie among fellow travelers made this walk/pilgrimage an enriching and soul-nourishing adventure. Thank you for an incredible journey of discovery and personal growth! We highly recommend this walking tour, and plan to do other walking tours with Gate 1 in the very near future.
Jose L.I wanted to acknowledge our tour manager Caetano. He went above and beyond, always went the extra step and gestures. He was the best at providing assistance, suggestions, solving challenges, finding answers and was truly interested in his passengers and their wellbeing. His English was superb and he was so funny!!! Coach driver Paulo was also outstanding, polite, funny and very professional. They made us all feel comfortable, safe and that we got our money's worth. Actually I feel I more than did. I would so recommend this tour, although it should be mentioned that walking, hills and steps can be an issue for some. This was probably my favorite tour so far.
Flavia M.I want to express my sincere gratitude for the best experience of my life! Carmen our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge and made our trip an absolute joy. She has the charisma and detail oriented attitude that made our trip so enjoyable the time flew and we were sad to part ways!! Jose our driver was also a wonderful host and we appreciate so much his patience and willingness to accommodate our every whim! We will be looking to book another trip soon with carmen as our guide! We made wonderful friendships you can't find a better tour guide in the world. Thank you!
Rosaisela R.Our trip thru Spain and Portugal was outstanding. We started in Madrid, traveled west to Portugal. Visited Porto then headed south to see the Miracle of Fatima and continued to Lisbon while stopping to see other places as we traveled. We traveled back to Spain and visited Granada, Seville, Valencia, and Barcelona among other places. Both countries were filled with interesting places and the city guides did a great job. Our primary tour manager Cesar was excellent and it was obvious he was an experienced travel guide as he handled any concerns or issues with professional courtesy while offering a reasonable resolution to the situation. During the bus rides the information he offered on each country and places we visited was comprehensive. His command of the English language allowed him to make nuance and colloquial references that resonated very well with the group. Many of the members of our group were bi-lingual and he was able to converse with them in Spanish if necessary. His humor was the highlight of his way of managing the group and presenting information. Hats off to Cesar he is a wonderful ambassador for Gate 1 and for the countries of Spain and Portugal.
Edward O.The itinerary of 8 Day Affordable Portugal is well designed. It covers the essential cities and places in a short time. I have done the 10 day Classic Portugal before and it is also a gem. Our tour manager Francisco was outstanding in managing the trip and providing in depth analysis. His passion for Portugal was very evident. He planned a surprised side trip for us which made the trip even more memorable. We came away with an appreciation of all things: the history, the beauty, the culture, the language, and most of all, the wine and the food. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is interested seeing Portugal. I could not accomplish seeing all these if I was doing on my own in 8 or 10 days.
Helen C.Let me start with the forecast of rain all week. Thought I could stay home as I had insurance. What a silly thought! Sonia, the cruise director, made sure we all had a good time. Loved that she announced "dear passengers of the Douro Cruiser;" made me feel special and part of the family. Her chant of We Choose to be Happy, helped get that positive spirit going. And then, she was excellent in all she did! She loved her boat and the crew. The river was high and Captain Jesus made sure we were all safe. All the other crew members did their jobs and made us welcome. The passengers on the boat banded together with the positive spirit to ensure a good time. Best trip!
Kathleen S.The most amazing of ALL my 30+ Gate One trips! Guide was very informative and itinerary was well designed to see Portugal! Hotels were excellent and location perfect!
Charles L.THIS TRIP WAS FANTASTIC! I LOVED ALL THE HOTELS! THE MEALS WERE GREAT ALFONSO WAS BY FAR A GREAT GUIDE! THE WALKING THRU THE COUNTRYSIDE AND THRU THE VINEYARDS WAS WONDERFUL. MY TRANSFERS WERE RIGHT ON TIME!! IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY SO I WAS SERENADED IN SPANISH AND PORTUGEESE TO 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' OUR PLAN B ON THE ONE DAY IT RAINED VERY HARD..CLARA ARRANGED FOR US A TRAIN RIDE AROUND THE ISLAND! THAT WAS FUN! THIS WAS MY '47' TRIP WITH GATE 1 AND THEY JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER!! AND I HAVE 9 MORE BOOKED!!!!
Linda G.I am a travel agent and have traveled to over 40+ countries and have had many tour guides throughout my years. But I was VERY IMPRESSED with Jaoquin! He is one of the best I have ever had! I want to let Gate 1 know that he is top notch and I hope he is being well taken care of. Not only is he personal, and knows English very well, but was so willing to help everyone in our group with anything they needed. He would even go above and beyond the normal protocol to help us! He is super impressive! I am excited to bring more groups to Gate 1! Thanks!
Thomas E.I have the most amazing trip. Portugal was a beautiful country. It was very interesting. I've learned so much about their culture and all those gorgeous churches that we visited. The walking was so good. I've never done a vacation like that before. I'll put it this way I had a trip of a lifetime specially, being with my sister,Brother in law And my husband of course. The group that we were in with the most amazing group we got along so well, and makes the trip so much smoother. We have the most amazing nicest. Patient kind wonderful Tour guide her name was a Odeth, she took us to the most wonderful places. Recommended a lot of beautiful restaurants and she spoil us. I'm planning for my next trip with Gate 1 Again, thank you for the wonderful experience. I couldn't tell you enough how wonderful it was.
Cecil M.We had a fantastic trip and I must say that our tour leader, Aline, was a delight. I call her "the Amazing Aline"! She gave us so much history and shared all her knowledge of the area and the beautiful buildings, architecture, culture, agriculture while also managing all 38 of us which was no easy task, especially with all of the other crowds of tourists. I likened it to "herding cats". We had marvelous experiences with her. Our group was especially cohesive and we have kept in touch after the tour ended. I don't know how she had the time to keep us so organized, but she did, and with great humor and patience. She even provided us with a lovely snack when she was aware that we would have little time for an actual lunch stop, and even after reminding us that we should pick up our own snacks for this portion of the trip. It was a tasty treat of local foods. On those occasions when we were on our own for lunch or dinner, Aline gave us very good suggestions of where to find good restaurants - there were so many good establishments close to our hotels. Our bus driver, Jose, was an excellent driver. Between Jose and Aline they must have been in very close communications because he was always exactly where he needed to be to pick us up. Thank you, Gate 1, for one more excellent and memorable vacation!
Grace M.Our tour was tremendously perfect!! Couldn't have made things any better! Special thanks to our tour guide Antonio; for his expertise regarding his country, Spain; and for the extreme care he demonstrated to his visitors!!! In the entire 15 days, not one single incident occurred which could have put a damper on the tour! He was the perfect tour guide!! Also worthy of mention are the skilled bus drivers with their comfortable buses, the on-site guides with their expertise of individual tour site-seeing; and finally...thanks for the excellent route and planning set up by Gate 1!! Oh, I almost forgot...hotels and food was the greatest!!
Alfredo P.I have only great words to share about our Kaleidoscope trip of Spain, with Antonio as our trusty Tour Manager. I laid awake last night, trying to put all the cities that we saw in order in my mind. I am still stunned that we covered so much ground and saw so many incredible sights. The local guides made the history come to life, the food was astonishingly good, the Spanish people were happy and helpful, our very nice hotels were expertly located, and we had a congenial group to share everything with. Even the rest stops on our long road trip days were memorable. What more could you ask for? Gate 1 does a fabulous job of organizing these trips, starting with the itinerary, then planning even down to the small details, saving us the hassle and worry of doing it ourselves. I so appreciate the careful thought that makes these travel experiences so satisfying and memorable. Thank YOU, Gate 1!!
Dinah M.I want to let you know what a fabulous tour trip which my wife and I had in Portugal with Gate 1. I believe that this was our fifth tour with Gate 1 and it did not disappoint. The tour gave us a comprehensive view of this beautiful country, both cities and regional towns. Our trips through the countryside also provided us with a closeup look at the geography of Portugal. Our fellow travelers began as strangers and emerged as friends -in-travel. This entire experience did not happen by accident. Our tour guide, Rui, was the magician who transformed us into La Familia, as he called us. Besides having an encyclopedic knowledge of his country, its history and its people, Rui was a master of human relations who seemed to meet the needs of all of us. We truly admired his seamless skills. Thank you for a wonderful life- experience and thank you for letting us travel with Rui. We (and you) are lucky to have met him!
Loretta M.I was on the 8 days cities of art tour in Spain. Diego was our guide. The Hotels and transportation that Gate1 had set up for us was great. The first and last were the best. In Madrid the Riu was iconic with the roof top views. Our Bus was a top of the line tour bus and very comfortable. Primarily I want to comment on how Diego took care of us. We were quite a big group - 39 I think, But he had everything organized. He was on top of every situation that came up. Myself and my traveling partner ( my friend of 30 years who had never. been on a Gate 1 tour ) really didn't have to worry about "the next step". My friend was impressed how everything from bus pickups and dinner was set up and timely. Not only was he organized he was also caring. I had a medical situation while we were in Valencia and he was quick to give me advice and guidance- I appreciate that greatly. I plan to return to Spain and hope to have Diego as my guide again.
Louise C.I just want to say that our Hospitality/Activity Director onboard the Douro Cruiser, Eva, was fabulous. She really motivated and encouraged participation in activities and we all had a lot of fun joining in. She has a sparkling personality and was friendly, professional, and sincere. All the staff were amazing, but she really stood out.
Caroline P.I just wanted to say that our Tour Manager, Ercilia, is an absolutely amazing person. She is a true asset and honestly I do not know how a tour manager/guide could be any better. From organizing the tour, to her knowledge of English, to her unbelievable knowledge of her country's history, to suggesting places to recommend and explore in every location, and even her sense of humor. It was an absolute treat to have her on our vacation.
David M.Porto River Cruise was fantastic. Gate 1 did a great job. The river was spectacular, the stops very historical and informative, the ricver boat was comfortable, food was outstanding, and activities on board fun. Optional tours were outstanding.
Sharon S.What a wonderful trip! Everything was just perfect. Our guide Philippe was amazing. Portugal is such a beautiful country and I feel like we hit all of the highlights. I am very impressed with Gate one and how every detail was taken care of. Will be traveling with you guys again hopefully soon! Thank you.
Kathleen A.The trip from Portugal to Spain was terrific from start to finish. The hotels were great, the locales were amazing and the local guides were very knowledgeable. Most importantly, our tour manager, Carla, was professional, incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic, and a perfect addition to our trip. Thank you. We are looking forward to our next great adventure!
Martha D.This was our second Gate 1 trip, but our first ever walking tour. We absolutely loved it! Our tour guides, Alphonso & Beatriz were outstanding and worked so well together. Along with the scheduled walks each day, we visited many interesting sites and learned a lot about the regions we traveled through. Our group of 22 was the perfect size to get to know one another while visiting some beautiful trails in Portugal & Spain. That said, we are definitely looking forward to booking another Gate 1 walking tour soon!
Janice O.Incredible experience, it was fantastic, something inexplicable. The truth is that the experience of that country and of you as an agency was a dream come true, your agents there are very efficient, the service and quality of your vehicles is something on another level. Many Thank you and we will see you again very soon, you made me fall in love, with you forever. Thank you so much
Miguel R.Our trip was wonderful. We had a great guide-Elio-who was friendly, knowledgeable, etc. We had a great group of fellow travelers. Spain and Portugal were both beautiful and rich with history, beautiful architecture and landscape. We will be doing another GATE 1 trip in the future for sure.
Barbara P.We would just like to express our extreme satisfaction with our Spain vacation. Rolando was the true gentleman, knowledgeable, and a person whom you can truly appreciate as he had a large group and the logistics of handling us to all our satisfaction was amazing. He truly exceeded all expectations and a true asset to Gate 1. We will continue to book our future vacations with gate 1. Friends and family will join us !! Please acknowledged our appreciation to Rolando as he truly was a huge factor in our satisfaction.
James R.Trip was wonderful. Rolando our tour guide was outstanding. He is a concerned and knowledgeable person, whom I believe to be a huge asset to Gate 1. He really works hard to assure we the customers enjoy ourselves to the fullest. Our trip was an enjoyable experience. We will always use Gate 1 for our future journeys.
James R.I really want you to know how utterly spectacular our tour guide, Miguel was, just the best ever! So incredibly knowledgeable, great story teller, great personality and sense of humor and at the end of the tour I told him he was the single best part of the trip. He so obviously loves his career and you couldn't find anyone better for the job. So I wanted you to know how much everyone one the trip appreciated him.
Richard W.My husband and I had a truly over-the-top amazing time on your 16 Day Iberia Spain/Portugal Trip! Your itinerary of Spain was incredibly packed with rich and varied landscapes. Celia was our tour guide and of all the Gate 1 Tours we've taken, she is THE BEST! Instead of the usual comfort stops along the way, she surprised us with more places to see than the itinerary stated. She maximized our time at each location by sending those not participating on optional excursions back to the hotel via taxis or teaching us how to get back to the hotel on our own via metro or bus or walking. The tour bus did not backtrack to return passengers back to the hotel, but went on to the optional excursions. In other words, she did not waste a minute of our time. I believe we saw the maximum we could of Spain. Celia has the heart for her home country of Portugal and also Spain and she does a compare and contrast of the two countries for us. She is not afraid to speak openly giving her opinions of various topics involving the people, culture, government, economics, etc. She has also a love for the history of these countries so we are the beneficiaries hearing these stories well told. At every included meal, she checked in with us to ensure that our dietary restrictions were met. As we approached the final departure day, she checked in with EVERYONE to ensure that each person had a way to get to the airport safely and on time. WOW! You cannot ask for a better tour guide than Celia. At the end of the tour, I could not help but reflect on your motto, "More of the World For Less" because Celia ensures that this motto is true.
Sharlene L.I simply had to write and tell you what an extraordinary adventure we had with Gate 1's tour of Madrid and southern Spain. It was no exaggeration to say that our every need was not only taken care of but anticipated, at a times, even before we recognized the need. Joseph, our fantastic guide, was one of the most personable, kind, funny and knowledgeable individuals that we have known, showing interest in all of our fellow travelers while providing us with a welcoming, loving experience as he shared his love of his country. The hotels we stayed at were modern, accommodating and beautiful and the breakfasts that fueled our day were delicious , varied and filled with every possible food that we could desire. Our bus driver, Oscar, kept us safe and well cared for at all times, serving us with a smile and interest while in his capable hands. Joseph's knowledge of his country was exemplary and his addition of wonderful background and historical stories and anecdotes kept us laughing and mesmerized at the same time. The local guides that we met at each of the cities provided amazing historical background and the most interesting tidbits of information including the origins of many of the words that we use even today as they related to the history we were learning about. We were so incredibly fortunate to have selected this trip with Gate One. It is easy to understand how successful your company is because of the incredible staff that organize and conduct your tours, the outstanding attention to every detail, the amazing value that you provide for your travelers and the highest professional standards of delivery and care. Well done everyone and endless thanks for this amazing experience. Joseph and Oscar, we are indebted to you for your amazing guidance and care of all of us!!! We are ready to rejoin you as soon as we can pack our bags!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
Carol B.We have traveled with Gate 1 all over the world and your guides are always the best. Our guide on this trip was Rui and he was amazing. Very knowledgeable, kind and had a great sense of humor. He handled our group of 37 perfectly. The hotels were all in good locations and they were always clean.
Alisa B.It was a memorable trip and we enjoyed having Lisa as our Tour Coordinator/Manager, she has extensive knowledge of Spain and know how to make happy her guests. A great asset for Gate1 and what a charming personality. I will definitely join next holiday with your travel company for my next adventure trip.
Ismail M.My husband and I just wanted to share our appreciation of our recent trip 15 day classic Spain and Portugal. Gate 1 is the best, everything was wonderfully prepared for us. Your consideration and thoughtfulness in preparing and executing all travel was outstanding. Our tour guide, Daniel, was exceptional! We look forward to our next adventure with Gate 1.
Maria W.The trip was really sensational. Our Tour Manager, Lisa, was outstanding. I have had many TMs and they are all good, but she was unusually helpful and was always willing to go the extra mile to help us. And the Gate 1 staff on the phone lines were also extremely helpful. Also, Gate 1 met all our transfers all the time, including the bus (!) to take my friend Eric Pollyea and myself to the Barcelona airport at the end of the trip (after most people had departed). And I found on the return flight that vegetarian meals had also been ordered, that was amazing. Thanks for all your help in organizing the trip, which was so helpful. I have been and will continue to recommend Gate 1 highly.
