    The tour guide, Gerardo, was exceptionally experienced, educated, passionate about teaching, friendly, and very hard working! The hotels were all excellent, and the restaurants we went to were all very good. One of my favorite vacations ever!

    Love Gate 1! Their guides and tour directors are the best

    This was a wonderful trip. The scenery, cruising activities, landings, lectures, food, and accommodations were excellent.

    Excellent itinerary which exceeded our expectations. Well executed as well. Gate 1 didn't disappoint.

    Hotels in the south needed air conditioning. Breakfasts could have been a little better.  These are minor complaints...all in all a great trip. Tour leader Lindsey Thorpe was terrific lots of rooms were messed up..twin beds when single was needed and visa versa

    The highlight of this trip is our Tour manager ( Nguyen Duy Thang /victor ) He is very thoughtful, humble, generous, honest , compassionate individual. Victor is loyal, resourceful, persistent and extremely organized person . He made our experience in Vietnam tour extremely enjoyable and excellent . Victor deserves 100% as a Tour Manager . Gate 1 must recognize Mr Nguyen Duy Thang (Victor ).

    Exceptional experience. The hotels were better than expected and the guide went above and beyond to make sure we all had a good time. Can't beat the price and value.

    Gate 1 offers memorable travel experiences. Our tour manager KP went above and beyond to meet our group's travel needs (even helping me with a unique shopping ask).

    I’m only concerned with Gate 1 misleading me with the last day that we were supposed to spend another night at the hotel on Dec 30th only to find out that it is not true. I was not able to clarify with my affordable agent as she was off that day. So I called gate 1 instead before booking my own airfare.

    The Gate 1 tour guide was wonderful. The boat trip on the Mekong was very nice. Wine, beer, and soft drinks were provided free of charge at lunch and dinner. Most of the meals were Vietnamese food. The staff did a good job of providing alternative food for those that did not eat seafood. Siem Reap was beautiful. We did not choose the tour that continued in to Hanoi which was advertised as two days in Hanoi. However, their flight didn't arrive until 10:30 pm so an additional day in Siem Reap and had only one day in Hanoi.

    Great tour manager, friendly, knowledgable, caring

    Just completed 12/19-12/31 Tunisia Discovery Tour. Very disappointed with the accommodations in some of the areas as a few of the hotels were sub-par. In one hotel we had no hot water whatsoever. The food in three of the hotels was poor. The bus was uncomfortable, seats were peeling, it was extremely loud while on highways, the sound system poor, and we could hardly hear the tour manager. I feel these are unacceptable for a Gate 1 tours. The trip is rigorous which was fine for me but it needs to be better explained in the description of the trip for those who have mobility issues.

    Highly recommended and highly satisfied with this tour. Enjoyed all the Xmas markets n the food delicious.

     All my hotel rooms were 4stars, transportation had excellent drivers.

    I always use you because all of my past experiences were most enjoyable and I expected the same. I invited four friends on this trip and they all enjoyed the tour immensely. We could not have asked Our tour manager 24/7 for anything else(he was awesome,) Your trainee Alex is on a great trajectory. (THE ENTIRE TEAM WAS GREAT.) PS I can't remember getting anything for recommendations !!!!
