Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
Excellent value for the money paid. Excellent guide! Great accommodations!
Affordable tour nice jobs!
Absolutely the best trip I have ever taken. Gate one discovery tours more than covered everything I could expect. Will tour with them again.
I had a wonderful time on the tour. The itinerary was busy but we were able to see so much of Spain. Our tour manager was wonderful. She kept us on schedule and took great care of us. She was very helpful with an issues that came up. She really made the experience great! The local tour guides were all excellent. We learned so much about the history and culture of the areas we visited.
Well organised and well planned Tour with a knowledgeable Tour director. I highly recommend Gate-1 Travels. .

Steves the best
Great time
Wonderful trip and had so much fun
I have always liked Affordable tours and will continue to use this agency for future travels. Thank you very much
Overall, the tour manager was very organized . Greatly appreciate providing COVID testing in the hotel.
We had a great time in Egypt and a great time with Gate 1. The tour manager was wonderful - professional, organized, knowledgeable and caring. The trip itself covered all the things we wanted to see and the services provided by Gate 1 were handled really well. The one weakness for us was the Nile cruise on the Esplanade. It was fine, but not what I'd call "top-notch". The ship was clean and the staff pleasant, which was the most important part of the cruise to us. However, we found the food was pretty unappealing. The restaurant meals provided by Gate 1 were consistently good- interesting places and good food. The hotels provided by Gate 1 were also nice and in good locations. I would definitely take another trip with Gate 1 and would recommend it to others.
