Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
This was my fourth trip with Gate 1. Every trip has been above my expectations.
Gate One guides are so efficient and knowledgeable,
The Radisson Hotel was way above expectations and all others were very nice. The bus with wifi and charging ability was very nice and allowed me to share the trip with others while traveling. The food was extremely good and many more choices than expected. All flights, pickups and delivery were accomplished on time and with ease. The bag handlers were always there and made everything run smoothly with little effort on my part.
Gate1 trips match their advertisements Their Tour Managers are always very attentive and helpful.
