Based on this trip, we would definitely recommend Gate 1.
This was our first river cruise. It was also our first time using Affordable Tours. We would highly recommend it. We had a wonderful time. Russia was a great country to do it in. We enjoyed every minute. We enjoyed our guide Asia. She was very informative and fun to be with.
Our Gate1 cruise director Tanya is very professional and extremely helpful. She gave us detailed information about the excursions. Even during our extended stay in Moscow, we sought her assistance via WhatsApp and she responded promptly and kindly helped to arrange our transfer to the airport. A heartfelt thank you to Tanya. All in all it's a joyful experience to travel with Gate 1 and with Tanya.
