It was fab!!! The food, wine, culture, architecture, the people - all wonderful. Loved that pretty much everywhere they accepted CCs, so there’s minimal need for currency. We visited 3 cities - Porto, Lisbon & Sintra. All wonderful with their own scene. Thank you for setting us up with such a great trip Gate 1!

Our unguided (no tour manager) trip to Barcelona was wonderful! My wife and I both had some trepidation before going. We had not traveled without a guided format in decades; that forced us to do our homework and plan out our days. We were able to spend more time at the sites that most interested us. We ate at hole in the wall restaurants that knocked our socks off. We went beyond our comfort level, and had an experience we wont forget. Thank you Gate 1!

The trip was amazing value. Truly, we can't figure out the math to understand how you can offer such a trip for that cost. The hotel was very nice, in an excellent location and we all had a wonderful time. We will be on Gate 1 again in May and have converted our friends as well.
