Gate1travel - Lousy tour guide.
We needed to travel from Regensburg to Prague Fly back to Paris. The bus driver had the bathroom locked so it was not available. I asked the bus driver to let me use the bathroom and they told me it was dirty. When I told him I don’t care he finally unlocked it and the bathroom was spotless. The lazy *** just didn’t want to have to clean the bathroom after a bus trip. I contacted gale on May 24 and as of June 30 have not received any response. That was our fifth trip with gate one and I seriously doubt that will be number six. Signed me disappointed customer

Gate1travel - Love Gate 1
I am actually shocked to read all these negative reviews. I just booked my 12th trip with Gate 1, have recommended to many friends who have all loved as well. A lot of these complaints seem to be about losing deposits or not getting money for cancellation - this is pretty standard in the industry I think. I don’t buy insurance with Gate 1, but I do make sure I have really good insurance with my credit card, personal travel insurance through a couple providers as well. I actually won’t travel with any other company.

travelled to the former Yugoslavia for an abortion of a trip. People traveling were a mixture of stupid, rude or crude. Personal effects of minimal value vanished during brief trips on the bus. The local restaurants were a mixture of poor food or improper hygiene....

We had flight reservations #1525075. Upon check in airport we’re told to standby the KLM 645 back to JFK, NY due to airline over booked. This caused aggression to my aging husband and devastated to his health health. This situation should not happen to your loyal...

My wife and myself took a tour with Gate 1 to Morocco in February, which I must say was very nicely organized. Where I have had an unpleasant experience with Gate 1 is in the booking of my flights thru Gate 1, and their refusal to address my issue. In booking our...

Due to reading good and bad reviews for Gate 1, I have chose not to use this company for my travels. The bad reviews far outweigh the good ones. They seem to offer less than adequate customer service and resolutions. Not sure how they have been able to sustain their...

I agree with the other comment. I would never drive in a foreign country, at my younger age. Gate 1 has no control over the flights. The price is always higher if you change t...
