The documents you provided were perfect. Emails regarding our trip were very informative and helpful. We loved the hotel that was chosen for our independent travel and our flights were perfect. We had no issues using Gate 1. Hopefully, we can find more great, economic trips like the one we just took. We are so thankful for this company that makes world travel affordable to everyone. No membership required. Thank you for the priceless memories.

Words can never express this amazing tour. From the moment we arrived at the airport until the van door shut to take us back to the airport, Francesca was by our side. I have never been on a Gate 1 tour and didn't know what to expect, it blew me away. The 14 days I spent in Italy with my two daughters provided a lifetime of memories. In my opinion Francesca should receive all the credit. She made sure everything was perfect, hotel rooms, tours ect...... you name it, she had it covered. Our entire group expressed great appreciation. Francesca and Gate 1 get a 5 Star Review all the way! Gate 1 is very lucky to have Francesca represent your company. Can't wait for my next tour.

I just have to compliment Gate 1 on another outstanding trip (this was my tenth with Gate 1). During the first night orientation meeting, our guide, Mercedes, asked me which of my nine previous trips I had liked the best. My response to her was, "it has always been the most recent trip." Once again, that holds true. This time I traveled with my best friend (her first time with Gate 1), and both of us were impressed. Our guide was absolutely the best: very well organized, knowledgeable, fluent in English, personable, entertaining, an excellent time manager, and genuinely caring about us. She even contacted me at the ground transportation company's desk on our arrival in Venice airport to welcome us and ask if we needed anything. By the end of our trip she felt like a member of the family. We enjoyed the little "bonuses" that she surprised us with along the way, including a brief stop in the American Military Cemetery in Tuscany as we were driving to Lucca, various little treats on the bus, entertainment with our last dinner in Naples, etc.

I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing my first trip to Italy was. Also my first time using Gate 1. I knew I made the right choice when many of the people on our bus said that they have used Gate 1 multiple times. That being said. Myriam, our tour guide, was unbelievable. Everything was just perfect. Run like a smooth running watch. She guided us with so much knowledge, caring, and understanding for our every need. With confidence and comedy, our group along with the entire tour will forever remember her wake call on the bus Wakie Wakie :) She has so much energy and never missed a request. Her advice on off the patch places to see and eat were spot on. Our safety was never in question as Myriam had her eyes in the back of her head at all times. Not sure that anyone can have the patience that she has. I could go on and on, but when I am able (the plane ride was very difficult for me) I will without hesitation contact Gate 1. Your company sure knows how to run a tour. So to Myriam thank you with our hearts for your amazing love and guidance.

This is our 4th trip with Gate One and we took part in the 9 days Essential Sicily trip on 27 Feb 2023 and we are so blessed to have Sergio as a our guide. Sergio left us and Sicily beautiful memories of the place - there is so much to write about him. Firstly, his patience and his humor, goes the extra mile to take us around in Catania, Ragusa and Palermo to help orientate us when we arrive. He also bought us local delights for us to try and truly grateful for that. He is always so bubbly, full of positive energy and patient and really humorous. You can tell that he is truly passionate about his work and puts 200% in his work and is very helpful. I think he is truly an asset of the company - he has just risen the bar for the rest of the guides moving forward! We will benchmark all guides using him as a comparison moving forward! We hope to discover the world more with Gate 1 Travel in 2024! Please convey how grateful we are to Sergio for leaving us the best memories of the trip! Also, the driver was also awesome! On time and helpful and I think he works very well with Sergio.

Our trip was wonderful. We have to commend your staff. We usually do not take group tours and were a little hesitant about going with a large group. Sergio, our tour director was exceptional and so was our driver, Giuseppe. Everything ran like clockwork and Sergio made everyone happy. We got to see so much of Sicily, with great local guides in each place. The hotels, too, we're excellent and very accommodating. We will definitely book another trip with Gate1.

It was amazing. Flavia was wonderful...she went over and above all of my expectations. She stayed with us until the very last day. Giuseppe are driver was also amazing. He was always in time and made sure everyone's luggage was in front of our rooms shortly after we arrived. I was very please with my over-hall experience and will definitely be traveling with Gate1 again soon.

I would like to compliment Marisa our Gate 1 guide for the 9 day Sicily tour from 12/3 to 12/11. Marisa was exemplary and professional. She was very friendly towards everyone and made sure all were included in all activities. Her knowledge of the areas we visited was extraordinary and admirable. She delivered her material with enthusiasm and passion. She introduced us to some pastries and pleasantly surprised us all!! I am so grateful that she was our guide and friend for our tour. Would highly recommend her. She is a keeper..... I would also like to compliment our bus driver Gianni (aka "Cicio") for his superb driving skills and the cleanliness of his motor coach. He was always friendly and greeted us with a smile. Very much appreciate him!

I recently stayed with you and I want to express my deepest thanks for a fantastic vacation that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Visiting Italy was a part of my bucket list and I didn't know what to expect other than a clean room and simple buffet breakfast. We got so much more. Every aspect of our visit was well above expectations. The staff was the best I have ever experienced. Professional, engaging and willing to do whatever they could to help. The cleaning staff was also terrific. They readily engaged with us and always brought a smile to my face. All of you will remain in my heart and I wish to extend my deepest wishes for all of you to live a long and fulfilling life. This Thanksgiving will be filled with many of the wonderful memories all of you have provided. Thanks so much for the memories. A very warm and wonderful Thanksgiving to all of you. I am in love with Italy and all of you made my dream a reality.

I wish there was a word better than spectacular to express how we felt about this trip, but I can't think of one. Our tour guide, Raffy, was stupendous. She took such good care of us and knew everything, that I hate to imagine not having her at home with us. She went above and beyond with every single aspect of our trip and has set the bar very high for any other tours we will take. We have always enjoyed our Gate 1 trips, but this one has exceeded even our expectations. Our driver, Luigi, was also fantastic. I don't know how he manages to navigate the roads and traffic and still made us feel safe and get us to our destination on time. The local guides we had with each day were so knowledgeable and able to answer any question we threw at them. There were so many special little touches that just made things even better. We met such wonderful people who will now be lifelong friends and hopefully future travel companions. The pace of the trip was brisk at the beginning and much more relaxed at the end and it was perfect. We can't wait to book our next Gate 1 tour.

This Sicily/Malta tour from Oct 12-Oct 24, 2022 was our first with Gate 1 and was led by Francesco. Our driver was Giovanni. Giovanni was amazingly skilled and experienced at driving and navigating our 40 passenger bus through narrow streets, winding turns, and hairpin curves. Giovanni scheduled a few ideal scenic photo ops including Modica and identified Mt. Etna in the distance. The tour group felt extremely comfortable through the entire tour duration from stop to stop. Our tour director, Francesco Fedeli was experienced, dedicated, knowledgeable, well organized, friendly, accommodating, gracious, helpful, informative, engaging, superb sense of humor, adept at cultural information exchange, and inquisitive about the American culture. He diligently worked and was thoroughly prepared for each day, anticipating any risks along the way. All work he completed behind the scenes was transparent to tourists. He freely shared his knowledge of reputable restaurants, ATM's, and pharmacy's in each locale we stayed at which enhanced our comfort and travel experience. Francesco informed us of myths, legends, and history preparing the way for an immersive experience in each area visited. Throughout the tour, Francesco demonstrated his caring, compassionate, and intuitiveness predicting the needs of his customers (now friends). Of particular note, Francesco averted what would have been a major negative impact to our tour as he identified an air travel risk, a possible airline strike going to Malta, and collaborated with Gate1 management to mitigate the impending risk. It did happen and there was zero effect on the tour experience. Gate1 was extremely supportive in rescheduling an earlier flight, prior to the strike window, and modified associated hotel accommodations in both Sicily and Malta. A heroic effort benefitting Gate 1 and virtually transparent to the customer! We thoroughly enjoyed his leadership, his companionship, and his guidance throughout the tour. Thank you Francesco!

What a fabulous time my friends and I had on the 9 Day Tastes of Tuscany tour. We wanted to stay an extra week to soak in more of the hospitality and culture. Carolyn was wonderful and met the needs of everyone. She was certainly well educated to the Tuscan area and gave us so much information and additional tips to maximize our trip. I would love to have Carolyn as my guide on future Italy tours. She was a GEM!!! The Francia e Quirenale was fantastic from the staff to the lodgings and meals. There isn't anything negative I could say. The location was perfect and convenient to all places. I would stay there again. The itinerary was well designed and more time in the Florence and Lucca would have been great. This was one of the best Gate 1 trips that I have taken. Kudos to Gate 1 and Carolyn!! Thanks so much.

My trip was excellent! Great itinerary with the majority of the hotels and meals exceeding my expectations. I would like to recognize Tour Manager , Condorrelli for her outstanding performance. She was highly organized and kept everything moving in a safe and efficient manner. Her communication skills were outstanding and she was very flexible if issues came up. Her knowledge and insight into Sicily's history was so interesting. I learned a great deal on this this trip. Our driver, Giuseppe, was highly skilled and navigated the bus safely throughout the tour. He was made sure all the guests on board were comfortable. Both Flavia & Giuseppe are excellent ambassadors for Gate 1 Travel.

The trip was amazing. The history and the culture continually amazed us. The townspeople and merchants were all friendly and gracious. It was a pleasure meeting and talking with all the other people on our trip. The scenery everywhere was beautiful and awe-inspiring. And, of course, the food and the wine were all superb. Carolyn and the other guides, but especially Carolyn, were extremely knowledgeable, took us to the right places, and provided an historical background for Tuscany in general and during visits to the specific towns. The history and the beauty of Cinque de Terre left no question as to why it had been deemed a UNESCO World Heritage site. We're very happy that we visited and learned the history behind the towns of Siena, Lucca, Vinci and the others. We documented in writing and photos every part of the trip, although it was a trip we'll never forget.

Let me start by saying that I was hoping to have a nice experience with Gate 1, but what I had was a GREAT experience! Let me start by saying that we were met at the airport in Venice by a Gate 1 representative to guide us to our destination. Already a huge positive for me in that my family did not have to wonder and figure out what to do next. At our first meeting with our tour manager Viviana (Vivi), and our fellow travelers it was wonderful to hear that many had been on numerous Gate 1 tours and kept coming back. Next, what can I say about Vivi, she is EXCEPTIONAL! Not only did she communicate every step of the way, it is clear she loves her job. Her genuine interest in assuring we had a wonderful trip came through loud and clear! All her little personal touches were so sweet and her attention to detail made all of us feel secure and comfortable. She is a treasure! The tour guides were outstanding! I expected to see the cities on the tour, however what the guides gave us was a real education. They not only knew their cities, you could see they had a real love and pride in telling us all the information about each site. Riccardo, Paulo. Vanessa, and Guiseppe were amazing. They were able to communicate the facts with humour and wonderful stories. My daughter and her friend are both gluten free. The care that Vivi showed in making sure they were taken care of was wonderful. Lastly, let me say I will absolutely travel with Gate 1 again and have already given it the highest endorsement to my family and friends. We will definitely go back to beautiful Italy again! Thanks Vivi and company for the great experience!

Wanted to let you know how wonderful it was having Maurizio as our tour manager. He is very knowledgeable about Italy, obviously, but he has the best personality and made everyone feel welcome. He shared so many stories with the group....his knowledge of gelato is impressive! I've already made pasta sauce the way he explained it to us. He made our first trip to Italy so memorable!

Our first trip to Europe was outstanding! Couldn't find anyone nicer, more knowledgeable, helpful etc than our tour manager, Susanna. The same goes for our driver and local tour guides. Our time was used wisely, never waiting - so organized. Well done Gate 1, this exceeded my expectations.

Well our Gate1 16 day romantic Amalfi with lake region and Rome was fantastic. Firstly, our tour guide Remo was so good and we had so much fun with him. His knowledge of geography and history was incredible. I certainly would like to have him as a tour guide again on another Gate1 trip sometime. Our hotels were first class, the bus drivers were all very professional, our meals included were very good and all the sights we saw were very enjoyable. You can never get enough of Rome. And the weather was in the 70's the whole time. Perfect. Also, all the local guides were very good.

Our tour guide in Sicily and Malta was wonderful Antoinette (Tony) was very accommodating. Tony helped us understand some Italian phrases, worried about our safety, picked up on conversations on things our group liked to do like sing and listen to special songs while on the bus. Tony was very good about explaining everything we were going to do, when we would need to dress differently for our tours and paid attention to details that made us more comfortable and ready to tackle each day. Can't say enough about Tony, she makes Gate 1 look great!

I had the best time! It was truly the best trip of my life. This has been on my bucket list since I was a child, and your company did not disappoint. Our tour guide Maurizio, was phenomenal. He made sure that we were all informed, had everything we needed, and made sure we were all taken care of. His personality, his special surprises, his information on every location me the trip special. All of the guides at every destination were informative and fun and made sure that our group was taken care of. Our driver, Vincenzo was amazing! I cannot believe how well he drove in some of the tightest spots imaginable. We were all amazed. I would highly recommend gate one and our tour guide, Maurizio. The memories will last my entire life!

The trip was fantastic from beginning to end. Our Tour Manager, Dionisio was very knowledgeable and personable. He quickly made you feel like a close friend. Everyone commented on how organized everything was and on time. It was exciting to see and walk through all the cities and historical places one only has read about or seen in pictures. The tour guides were extremely informative and helpful. I don't think one question went unanswered. We tell everyone that asks about our trip how great Gate 1 was from picking us up at the airport to making sure we were at the airport for our flight home.

Our trip to Italy was fabulous. Our Guide Lynn was really great. The 9 days went by too fast. The hotel was very nice and all the food and wine was great. Very happy with Gate 1.

Our trip to Sicily and Malta was fantastic in all regards - itinerary, venues, fellow travelers, but most of all tour director Silvia. Her temperament, attention to detail, proactiveness and so many other aspects are without parallel in our experience. She really made a great trip- fabulous.

Our Trip to Italy was spectacular! This was our honeymoon we had to cancel because covid hit. It was totally worth the wait. Our trip started in Rome with the MOST amazing Gate 1 tour Guide - Riccardo. He was so knowledgeable, kind hearted, fun and just an all around wonderful man. Our best local tour guide was in Rome it was Kristina, she was great - and very knowledgeable, engaging and kept our interest...All day! Staying on the island Murano was so romantic and beautiful. Our Trip was totally Magical - we are only sorry it is now over. Now we have the hard decision of where to go next... and definitely another trip to Italy in the Future! Thank you for being a great tour company.

We recently returned from the 12 Day Enchanting Italy with Amalfi Gate1 tour, from Aug 23 to Sept 3, 2022. We have enjoyed numerous Gate1 tours and this one ranks near the top. In particular, I'd like to extend our warm thanks and appreciation for the simply outstanding job done by our Tour Manager, Lorena. From the moment we met Lorena at Venice Airport she showed her professionalism and friendly, inclusive approach to managing our tour from start to finish. Lorena honestly did not make s single mistake and kept the entire group informed of the schedule, abreast of normal changes and moving right along to see all of the numerous sights Italy has to offer. In conclusion we are very satisfied with Gate1 and the fact you have expert Tour Managers like Lorena on your staff.

I would like Gate 1 to commend our 13 Day Romantic Italy Tour Leader Susy ! I have been on numerous Gate1 tours ( other companies also) and have NEVER had such a fantastic tour leader. Every day was wonderful because of Suzy. She is knowledgeable, considerate, sweet, always going out of her way to accommodate the group & was loved by all of us. She obviously loves her job and loves her country. And, who else but Suzy would get up at 3:00 AM to say goodbye to eight of us who had to leave early! Please recognize this special, wonderful person. She was a "gift" to all of us and certainly should be a valued employee of Gate 1 .. she is THE BEST!

I cannot say enough good things, great things about this trip. It was fabulous and everyone at home was envious. We were able to see so much in the time we were in Italy. None of this would have been possible without Vanni and Alicia guiding the way. You definitely have two diamonds there and not in the rough. They were fabulous guides and there was nothing left unseen or untouched. I cannot wait for my Christmas Markets Tour in December with 5 of my friends and am hoping it is just as great! Thank you for the wonderful experience and lifetime memories!

GATE1 especially our guide Emanuela was absolutely phenomenal! There is not one remotely negative thing I can say about the trip. The hotels were first class. Great location, food and tours amazing. You took care and thought of everything! Will definitely be using Gate 1 again and recommending to everyone we know!

Just returned from 12 day tour of Italy with Gate One. Our tour director Remo is absolutely fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable, quick to solve problems, and extremely attentive to the needs of everyone on the tour, especially due to the extremely hot weather while we were there!! If ever to travel to Italy again I would totally request Remo! He made the trip enjoyable, considering all the walking, which not easy for some in the group. Please send our compliments to Remo.

I would like to Thank our Tour Manager Riccardo for the trip of a lifetime and the countless Memories with our Family. His Knowledge, Patience, and Passion for the areas we visited was extraordinary. The in depth and additional explanations and stories he and his team of tour guides and drivers provided us in each city of our tour inspired us with the "Love for Italy" that many people talk about when they visit. Not being a frequent tour traveler, I was very pleased with the sites we were able to visit in such a short period. The tour group meals together at the various locations was another great experience to increase the relationship of our travel companions and have a taste of the region as well. The unplanned stop to view the fallen soldiers at Florence American Cemetery honoring the American men and women who gave their lives during WWII - a sobering, but inspiring sacred grounds that was unknown to many of us until the tour. Everything was memorable and will remain in our hearts for a long time. Thank You to Riccardo and your team of guides and drivers who brought the past, present, and future of Italy to life for all of us. Thank You

I just wanted to provide additional feedback from my 11 day Italy trip from 7/2-7/12. Maurizio was AMAZING! He was extremely well organized and punctual and went out of his way to help in every way. We always knew what was coming next. There were no surprises. In addition to being helpful, he was informative, humorous and found several opportunities to add his own personal touch to our tour to bring us all together. Whether it was a small token from the glass factory in Venice, or snacks in a Florence piazza or on a long bus ride, he always went out of his way for his "family" as he liked to call us. His recommendations for shopping and eating did NOT disappoint! Our driver Davide was also fantastic and we enjoyed his company and his excellent driving. Thank you for a wonderful Italy experience!

My husband and I recently completed the 11 Day Romantic Italy tour with Tour Director, Marisa S. This was my 12th tour with Gate 1 Travel and without a doubt Marisa was the BEST Tour Director I have had. Her knowledge of Italy was beyond comparison, not only the history but also her suggestions of things to do and places to eat when we were on our own. Her communication was spot on and there was never any doubt about what time and where we were to meet. While she took her responsibility for the group seriously, she was also charming and fun to travel with. She truly is beyond amazing and we were so sorry the tour ended and we had to say goodbye as we enjoyed her so very much. Gate 1 is so fortunate to have her on their staff, she is an amazing example of what a Tour Director should be in every sense of the word. I cannot describe in words how wonderful it was to travel with Marisa and Gate 1, she made it a trip to remember forever.

Our recent Gate 1 tour of Italy exceeded our expectations as first time "tour travelers". All of the Gate 1 staff who accompanied us, provided us with excellent service, support and knowledge throughout the trip. Our tour manager, Suzy, was very friendly and welcoming. We especially enjoyed the information she gave on our bus rides through various towns and regions. Our hotels were comfortable and conveniently located to local shopping and dining. It was a big plus to have many meals included during our stay. The food and wine were phenomenal! The Tuscan dinner at a nearby winery was definitely a highlight of our trip! In spite of our luggage being lost the entire time, we had a fabulous vacation in Italy, thanks to Gate 1. We are looking forward to booking another tour with Gate 1 in the future.

We just returned from the 14-Day Romantic Italy with Amalfi trip and cannot say enough good things about our trip! Gate 1 did a fabulous job of creating an itinerary that allowed first-time visitors to Italy to truly take in all the high points of the beautiful country. From the sweeping vistas of Lake Maggiore, to the romantic canals of Venice, fun Tuscan wine dinners, historic Rome, and the sparkling blue waters of the Amalfi Coast, we were able to experience the sights, sounds, history, art, architecture, and taste of Italy! The transfers to and from the airport were especially helpful. All of the local guides and drivers were professional and knowledgeable. However, the BEST part of our Italian trip was our tour manager, Luca! He truly made our trip fun, memorable, and personal. Luca is professional, organized, funny, flexible, and incredibly knowledgeable about each site and city. He gave excellent recommendations on restaurants and went above and beyond to help up coordinate a few personal "must see" moments on our trip. Our entire group commented every day about how lucky we were to have Luca as our guide. Thank you, Luca! Overall, the Gate 1 trip was fabulous. I already have a friend who has booked her first Gate 1 trip based upon my experience and photos. Thank you, Gate 1!

Our discovery tour to foods and wine of northern Italy was fabulous. This was our first discovery tour. Our small group of 15 jelled into a family while participating in food, wine, and spirits sampling. Our guide, Carmine , was ultra professional and looked after our safety and health at all times. He arranged for transportation alternatives when Mother Nature denied us water passage to Portofino because of high winds. He hired a van when he deemed the sidewalk-less road too dangerous to walk to get the post trip Covid tests. He treated us to evening drinks on sunny piazzas in Torino and Bologna. He took care of all the worries of getting us from point A to point B while supplying us with geographic historical and cultural aspects of northern Italy. Invaluable experiences and knowledge were shared by all in the beauty and wonder of northern Italy.

We completed the Food and Wines of Piedmont, Liguria and Veneto with Cinque Terra last week and there are two things I'd like to share. First, what a fabulous itinerary - start to finish! The trip to the rice plantation and balsamic vinegar winery were fascinating. And each of the wineries we visited offered beautiful wines and food. Second, I have nothing but "High Praise" for our tour manager, Vanessa. She is the perfect, caring host. Her knowledge and friendliness added so much more to the trip. And she certainly seems to be in her element as a tour manager. She was terrific! This was our first small group trip with Gate 1 and we loved every minute of it. We are already looking for other small group trips we could take with Gate 1.

The trip to southern Italy and Puglia was wonderful! Our tour director, Silvia was exceptional!! The food, scenery and itinerary was different from the northern and central areas of Italy, but like all of Italy, so much history. I highly recommend this trip from Gate 1 - you can count on knowledgeable tour guides, excellent hotels and a wonderful trip. I have travelled with Gate 1 several times, and they never disappoint!

I have traveled with 2 other tour companies and comparatively, our Tour Manager Daniela went above & beyond what I have experienced in the past. Daniela was absolutely wonderful! She did an incredible job and truly wanted everyone to enjoy Italy! She came across as a warm, caring, and knowledgeable person and went far beyond to ensure that we had the best experience we could have. She was very thorough and had many excellent recommendations on local restaurants and other locations to visit. Our local guides were very knowledgeable and helpful, they effortlessly led us through the crowds, offering interesting discourse and adding fun facts and details to everything we saw. I would recommend Gate 1 to all my friends and relatives!

Our first tour with Gate 1 was amazing! The trip was well planned. It started out with a slow pace, increased as the days went on and ended in a relaxing setting on the Amalfi coast. Our tour coordinator/guide, Susanna, was the best! Her organization skills, personable nature and sense of humor made her a joy to be with. Ask anything and Susanna would make it happen. The timing of tours, dinners, free time and travel time were well planned out. The group of 23 was a good size to get acquainted with everyone. The city tours had knowledgeable guides as well. We especially enjoyed Nina in Rome and the young man who did the tour in Florence. The wine dinners, and actually all the dinners were delicious! Susanna also suggested places to dine if we were on our own. We will definitely book with Gate 1 again. Thank you for all the detailed, organized coordinating that made our trip so enjoyable in Italy.

I would like to thank Francesca, our tour manager for a recent trip to Italy and praise her for a job well done. Due to covid, my husband and I waited two years from our initial booking for our trip to Italy. Every aspect of the trip was fabulous, the trip could not have been better. We experienced so much of Italy, learned volumes and ate like kings. We did not have a worry or concern about anything regarding schedules and timing, everything was organized and handled like clockwork. Even the covid test to return to the USA was completed right in the hotel. Thanks Francesca for a job well done!!

Would recommend Southern Italy with Gate 1 to all my friends and relatives! The sights, food and weather was amazing and wonderful! Most of all, our tour director, AnnaMaria was excellent! She was informative, thoughtful, considerate, enthusiastic and kept all the tour members together! Thank you for a wonderful trip!

I traveled on the Enchanting Italy with Amalfi tour. Our tour manager, Gabriela, was outstanding - informative, efficient and fun. She arranged great lunch and dinner spots for us: lunch, wine tasting and tour at a winery; dinner at a terrific restaurant overlooking Florence. I chose this tour because it was a "smattering" of everything I wanted to see in Italy: Venice canals, Vatican and Colosseum in Rome, and beautiful Capri with a boat ride through the grottos. along with many other cities and sites. We also had free time to explore on our own. This was my first tour with Gate 1 and I highly recommend. Can't wait to tour the Lake region on my next tour.

We had a fantastic time and I have to say our guide Remo is who made the trip exceptional. I hope you are taking really good care of him because he is an absolute gem!!! We had such a mix of people and needs and Remo always kept his cool and received us with unconditional hospitality! His knowledge and obvious love for Italy was evident throughout our trip. Truthfully, Remo is one of the most patient persons I have EVER met and wow, did he have so many moving parts with our bunch. The itinerary was terrific! I still can't believe we saw everything we saw, learned so much, had crazy fun and came home exhausted with a head full of beautiful memories. Thank you for all you did to take care of the details so we could just play like kids!

This was our first Gate 1 Tour and we absolutely had a blast! Our Tour Manager Giuliana really made it special for all of us. she was so organized, and had such a lovely, happy, and caring personality! She took great care of everyone individually & as a group. All of the local guides were very knowledgeable and you could tell they were passionate about the areas they showed us. Our favorite tour was Pompeii; absolutely fascinating, yet sad at the same time. Our buses & accommodations were all clean & sanitized and we were encouraged to*mask up" and use hand sanitizer when in close quarters. The bus drivers were also great! Italy was so amazing and we can't wait to tour again with Gate 1! Thank you to Giuliana and the team; they outdid themselves! Bravo

This was our first trip with Gate 1 and we hit a jackpot. Our amazing trip through the spectacular cites of Italy was sensational. Our guide Giuliana was very friendly, open, thoughtful, helpful when needed, a lot of fun, and with a little entertainment. She pulled the group together as a big family, all willing to help each other without hesitation. While on the bus she would inform us of the cities we were entering. Our guides were just incredibly knowledgeable of their city treasures and you could feel their love for their country, "Italy". Giuliana had great recommendations of things to do on our free time from restaurants, shops and all the other amazing sites. it was all good. As a first timer with Gate 1, all I can say, we will be back for more adventurous, guaranteed. Thank you Gate 1 for an amazing team of professionals, overwhelming amount of information, and beautiful sites, along with our loving memories.
