12 Day Affordable Thailand, October 2010

We were just looking at our pictures this morning and talking about what a beautiful country Thailand is and how much we loved it. The people were so serene and gentle and the flora and fauna just gorgeous. The many temples and ruins were extraordinarily beautiful. Our tour guide, Oh, was very knowledgeable and pleasant, as all of Gate 1 tour guides are. The hotels were the finest we've ever stayed in with Gate 1. An especially special event was the farewell dinner at a private home. Thank you so much for a wonderful agenda and tour director.

The trip to Thailand was outstanding. The hotels were exceptional. The tour Director, OH, was the finest. She was personable and exceptionally knowledgeable. Her rapport with the entire group was beyond expectations. Her tireless effort to "manage" all travel contingencies was more than could be expected. The itinerary was great and the pace about right. Other than the anticipated "tourist shopping" expeditions, which even they were better than average, the trip was all I could hope for. This was my first experience with Gate 1, but they’ll be at the top of my list for future travel needs.

12 Day Affordable Thailand, May 2010

I have to tell you, of all the trips my wife & I have taken with Gate 1, our trip to Thailand was the very best. The hotels were great!! The highlight of the tour was the Elephant Camp. It should be added as a regular tour instead of a extra tour, it was that great. Our tour guide named Kit, was the best. Everyone loved her and she went out of her way to please everyone, us included. I can't say enough about our trip. It was GREAT-GREAT-GREAT.

To put it briefly, it was EXCELLENT! Gate 1 did a wonderful job in organizing this trip. The hotels were more impressive than my husband and I had expected and our tour guide 'Chai' was the best. He was funny, caring and extremely informative. I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody wanting to go to Thailand and of course, I look forward to booking more trips with Gate 1 in the future.

14 Day Affordable Thailand, May 2010

Our vacation was awesome!! The destinations were very, very good, the hotels were excellent, and our tour guide "Chai" was superb. We've joined numerous tours from other travel companies and a couple of Gate 1 tours and, Chai is so far the best; very caring, informative and knows the history of Thailand excellently. We are so grateful that we did not cancel our tour in spite of the problems in Bangkok.

Thank you so much and more power to Gate 1.

13 Day Affordable Thailand, May 2010

We had a fabulous time! We've traveled with other tour groups but yours was truly a first class operation and a great value. Others may worry about going to Thailand during the internal strife but we knew that Gate 1 would take care of us and they did! The Siam City Hotel, where we were originally scheduled to stay, is a more expensive property than the Chaophya Park, where we were eventually placed. This incident was the only negative on an otherwise spectacular trip. We look forward to traveling with Gate 1 in the future.

The trip was great. Our tour guide did a fantastic job and the last minute switch of hotels in Bangkok showed how
much you were on top of things. Good job!

7 Day Bangkok Vacation, January 2010

This was an absolutely amazing. We love Bangkok and thoroughly enjoyed a chance to visit it again. It's such an easy town to get around in, and the Chaophya Park couldn't have been a better hotel. Easy access to the metro (just a few minutes walk away) and an incredible breakfast buffet included every morning. We took advantage of the airport transfer option- they were waiting and on time both for our 11:45pm arrival and to take us to the airport for our early return flight. A quick easy half hour ride at those times of day, it was perfect. We also had a delightful contact (her name was Oh) whom we could connect with for any tours or questions while we were there.

We all had a wonderful time. As usual, Gate 1 provided a great trip, great itinerary, wonderful hotels, and a terrific guide. Our guide, Chai, was terrific, as was the bus driver and bus attendant. Chai even added a couple of sites that were not scheduled in the itinerary and gave us so much history and cultural information. This was not my first Gate 1 trip, and needless to say, it will not be my last. We all thought it was a great value for what we got to see and do. Thanks for a wonderful trip.

16 Day Affordable Thailand with Angkor Wat, November 2009

The trip was great! Both guides knew their countries and were able to make things interesting with history and humor. Our primary guide, took excellent care of us and made sure things ran on schedule as well as made everything special. She even let us stop and go into a rice field with workers and go to a rice processing plant where the grain is brought after harvesting, which was not on the itinerary, but where else could we have had this experience? Fantastic trip!
