Our trip was outstanding, you guys hit it out of the park. Walid is the absolute best tour guide ever. His knowledge of Egypt from antiquity to the present is unbelievable. He should get a pay raise! We look forward to our next Gate 1 tour adventure! Please let Walid know how pleased we were to be members of his tour family.

It was wonderful & memorable! Our tour manager Reham was outstanding & did an excellent job explaining all the sites & provided great & interesting talks all through the tour! She was the best tour manager or guide we have ever had! Her personality & knowledge truly made a big difference in how we enjoyed our Egypt trip! Thank you for giving us such an amazing experience in Egypt!

It was absolutely amazing!!! Egypt is a beautiful country, with beautiful people, and so rich in history and culture you can hardly resist it. Gate 1 staff was so remarkable. Every one of them was great but our tour manager must be by far the best in this industry. We can't say enough great things about her. She made us feel like family, shared her image of Egypt from an emotional and an academic standpoint. She managed all 32 of us with impeccable charisma and grace. The rest of the staff was helpful, so much so we felt like VIP. The choice of hotels/cruise was above our expectations and a big reason why we will travel with you all again. Food was great, buses comfortable and there was plenty of water they gave us since Egypt is such a hot and dry country. So 5 stars all around. Bravo Gate 1!!!

The trip was wonderful! Gate 1 was very thorough every step of our tour and our tour guide, Rasha, was fantastic. We were impressed with the high quality and standards of hotels, food, and transportation, etc. It was our first trip as a "tour" and we were very impressed. It is our plan to take more of them in the future.

First....our tour guide, Dina, was fabulous! Dina is extremely knowledgeable, very organized, patient, clever, and has the ability to maneuver her group through schedule challenges smoothly and efficiently. We loved her. Dina is a true asset to Gate1. I was very amazed with the amount of sites we were able to see and in a very efficient manner. This was my second Gate1 trip which included a river cruise and I'm a convert! Although we covered A LOT of ground, cruising allows enough relaxation time in between so I never felt overwhelmed or rushed to the next event. The cruise boat was well appointed, very clean, the food was good, and the crew was delightful and attentive. While on this trip I booked two more Gate1 trips for next year! Love the value of Gate1. Egypt was eye opening and stunning. A great trip!

Hope this finds you all safe and well. Elizabeth and I just returned from a two week tour of Egypt. Scratch one off my bucket list. The monuments, tombs, and antiquities are magnificent. We had a combined land tour and Nile cruise. We booked the tour through Gate 1 Travel. I have booked them in the past and they never disappoint. The hotels and restaurants are five star, the itinerary is as advertised, and our guide, Hosam, was incredible. He spoke four languages, is an educated Egyptologist, and injected a great sense of humor into his presentations. We met some very nice and interesting folks in our tour group of 27. Rather than describe what we saw, I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Take care.

During our recent trip to Egypt, we were fortunate enough to have Rania as our tour guide. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was the best tour guide in the world. Rania was not only attentive to our needs but also possessed great insight and knowledge about the country. She went above and beyond to ensure that our group had an unforgettable experience. Her guidance and expertise allowed us to appreciate the beauty of every part of Egypt and make the most out of our trip. Rania's exceptional skills as a tour guide made our journey truly special, and we were lucky to have her. Despite her vast knowledge and experience, Rania remained humble and treated us like family. She made sure that we understood every detail and helped us see Egypt from a unique perspective. Her passion for her work and her country was contagious, and we all felt like we were a part of something special. In short, Rania Selim is a remarkable person and an outstanding tour guide. Her knowledge of Egypt is unparalleled, and she has a gift for making everyone feel special. We are grateful for the opportunity to have had her as our guide and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional travel experience.

This trip was excellent, with active and compressed itinerary, and very well planned. The last minute airline schedule change, 2 weeks before our departure, was a shock with 4 am arrival at Cairo and 4 am departure returning home. Upon arrival, Gate 1 arranged a day room for 6 hours at an airport hotel before we checked in at our scheduled regular hotel. For our return flight we were arranged to spend our long layover at the VIP lounge at the airport. The way Gate 1 handles arrivals, departures, hotel/boat check-in/out procedures and the transfer of luggage is a stress reliever. The success of the Egypt trip in large part can be credited to our tour manager, Rasha. She is extremely knowledgeable of ancient Egyptian history and current day Egyptian culture. From day one, her friendliness and hospitality made all of us feel so welcome to be in her country. She has terrific people skills, caring and yet consistent in her expectations of the group. She did everything to ensure our safety and warned us about uneven surfaces and constantly reminded us to be careful every step of the way. She also knows invaluable insider tips about where to shop, where to eat, and what to do. This was a very active trip with early wake up calls and lots of walking. The early arrivals to the sites certainly had the benefit of smaller crowds and better visitation experience. Jordan, the second part of our trip, was also excellent. Our tour manager, Hazim, is very experienced and has a great sense of humor. He knows the sites very well, seamlessly planned and timed our visits smoothly. He was very entertaining, very knowledgeable and thoroughly explained each site we visited and left no question unanswered. I saw many sites and things, travelled many miles and ate more food than I ever thought during these 17 days but never felt rushed. What makes a tour "best vacation ever" is the tour manager. I was fortunate to have the best two tour managers this time. Thanks to Gate 1 for this wonderful experience which enriched my life. This is one trip I could not accomplish if I was doing on my own.

The best part of this my GATE 1 tour has to be of our Tour Manager Omar !!! I have never met a tour manager of Omar's quality, qualifications, and dedications to his clients, profession, his tour company (i.e., GATE 1), and his civilization and country -being either associated with GATE 1 or other many tours/cruises I had had, and he is definitely among the best in the world -if not the best !! In fact, Omar has been extremely unique in his own way and as a whole, in terms of his quality in all perspectives and professional qualifications, and he definitely earned by himself more than a few minutes of time from each of us in his tour group. More specifically, Omar had been extremely kind and genuine, caring equally for all of us regardless of individual background and allocating his time and resources based on the specific needs of each individual; extremely passionate for his profession; very proud of his (Egypt) civilization; loving his beautiful country and sharing information about it as factually and accurately as possible; and extremely effective in communicating with all walks of people, leading the tour group, and attending to the specific needs of each individual; ...

Where do we begin to tell you how wonderful our tour guide Medo (Mohamed) was? The 9 day classic Egypt with 3 day Nile cruise was our first trip with Gate 1, and we are hooked! All our future vacations will be with Gate 1. From the minute we stepped into the Cairo airport until it was time to leave to go back home, our experience was amazing! The hotels, the food, the excursions and the people were second to none. But what made this our "best vacation ever" was our guide, Medo. Medo's knowledge of ancient Egyptian history and current day Egyptian culture was exceptional; we learned and experienced so much. From day one, Medo's friendliness and hospitality made all of us feel so welcome to be in his country!

Our 2nd trip to Egypt with Gate1, but with the addition of Jordan this time. What an amazing trip! Our tour manager in Egypt, Tarek, was absolutely and simply the best tour manager we've EVER had on all our trips. Friendly, funny, incredibly knowledgeable, really cared for our little "family" of 31 and kept us on track and safe, and he imparted SO much knowledge that added greatly to our tour. Thank you soooooooo much, Tarek! Our tour manager in Jordan, Mohammed, was also very good and friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and (as we all warmed up to each other) funny! Both men are incredible assets to Gate1, and anyone who tours with them will have a great time. If you're considering any of the Egypt/Jordan Gate1 tours but are holding off because you're concerned about safety, we always felt safe. Security rode and walked with us every day in Egypt and was unobtrusive but always there keeping an eye on everything. The Egyptian people are friendly and happy to see you. Same with the Jordanian people. Vendors can be a little pushy but a polite "no thank you" (or two), or better yet, a polite "la shokran" (or two) and they'll leave you alone. Be warned, though, this is a VERY active trip. Early wake up calls, lots (and LOTS) of walking, on the go. As Tarek said, "you can sleep when you're home!" This was simply an absolutely amazing trip with wonderful staff in 2 incredible countries. Thank you, Gate1!

I'm writing to let you know that tour manager Rania was the best tour guide we had with your company and with other companies we have traveled in the past. Her in-depth knowledge of Egyptology, the culture and history enhanced our understanding of this ancient civilization. Furthermore, she was able to coordinate and cater to all the different needs of the participants, including some quite elderly with mobility issues. She maintained us all entertained and informed of the schedule and logistics on a timely manner. My husband and I left Egypt with the love she was able to share with us.

We just returned from the 13 day trip to Egypt and we are writing to Express how amazing our guide Rania was to travel with. We have traveled extensively with a few different companies, but have found Gate one to be the best. We have had many good and knowledgeable guides, but Rania far surpasses anyone that we've had in the past. Her knowledge of Egyptian history is amazing and her excitement at sharing her pride in the Egyptian culture is absolutely infectious. She is kind and caring and available no matter the time of day to help anyone in the group who is having a problem. She is the most selfless truly kind guide we have ever traveled with. She is a gem!!

My recent trip to Egypt was a trip of a lifetime. It was one of the best trips I have ever had due to our outstanding tour guide Shaimaa. She was a true professional. Shaimaa gave us great details about Egypt. She was able to explain all we were looking at in detail and explain the historical significance of the places we visited. She was very thorough and knowledgeable and was able to explain so we all could understand and was able to answer all our questions. She did everything to ensure our safety and warned us about uneven surfaces, about pick pockets and she constantly reminded us to be careful every step of the way. She guided us on all excursions and made sure we understood the difficulty of each of our adventures. We could not have asked for a better guide. Shaimaa showed compassion and caring for all of us and we were a large group of 37 The hotels we stayed at were both excellent The cruise was very nice. All the staff were very friendly and worked hard to keep us all comfortable The food was great The sites we visited were all well chosen and Shaimaa was able to explain details about each site so we all got a better understanding about the history of Egypt Overall I am giving this trip a 10/10

All that I can say is WOW! I had always wanted to go to Egypt (canceled last year because of Omicron) and finally made it! I was amazed how well organized this trip was...the Gate1 team was always waiting to help us at the airports and hotels. Our tour manager, Shaimaa, was an impressive, knowledgeable guide who ably navigated us to all of the sites throughout the tour. Congratulations Gate1, you've provided a trip of a lifetime that I'll never forget!

This was our 12th Gate 1 and a magnificent trip! Fawzy, our Egyptologist/Tour Guide, was able to weave the history into engaging stories that made temples and tombs come to life. The overall pace was good and it was delightful to have a full 7 days on the Queen of Hansa--- a nice floating hotel with high quality and diverse buffet choices. Fawzy gave great tips on local free-time options. I was amazed at how well attended the cities are by Tourist Police and always felt safe, even when exploring on our own. Thanks also for offering the Hurghada option---we really enjoyed relaxing at the Red Sea resort for a couple of days along with visiting the aquarium and learning about Red Sea critters and aquatic history. Loved the trip! High marks across the board!

I wanted to tell you that our tour guide Neveen was an absolute gem -- she was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Egypt. I understand she is an Egyptologist, but I can also tell that she absolutely loves Egypt and also loves sharing her knowledge with the people on our tour group. Thank you for arranging such a wonderful tour guide on our trip.

The trip to Egypt was a dream come true. Gate1 once again outdid themselves providing great costumer care, hotel accommodations, knowledgeable guide, prioritized the safety of all of us travelers by providing body guards and guided us throughout the whole time. Needless to say, I am looking forward to my next trip and for making new friendships and long lasting memories.

The trip was worth it! This was our 1st group tour experience with Gate 1 Travel and definitely won't be the last! Hossam was an excellent tour coordinator and very knowledgeable of Egyptian history. He was very engaging and his stories touched our hearts and made us appreciate the glory days of Egypt and unfortunately the heartaches too. We made new friends along the way and will cherish every moment spent in Egypt even though it was hectic the last 2 days of the tour. Wi-Fi on the bus was static but everyone was very friendly - driver, security and peeps at the airport (Visa guy). Overall, rating of " Excellent ". Keep up the great work of Hossam and Gate 1 Travel. We will definitely recommend to our friends and family

Our trip to Egypt was very informative and it took me back to the ancient history. Thank you Gate one for delivering a great product in a 15 days trip to Egypt . I Felt like going back to my heritage , which I had read only in the books but what a difference to see things in front of your own eyes , like in Cairo, a basket floating by Pharo's Palace with baby Moses in it was mind boggling. Our guide Amr effectively communicates with Colleagues , Partners , and group members. He clearly discuses all matters and ideas in team meetings. Amr, our group manager, showed excellent time management and organizational skills.

Ever since I was in the fourth grade, I have been fascinated with Egypt. My teacher that year brought alive the history and culture of ancient Egypt. Now, 70 years later, I was able to visit the sites that enthralled me so many years ago. Gate1 has put together an excellent 13-day itinerary that includes most of the major ancient sites. I highly recommend the included 7 day river cruise. This cruise enables you to get to the sites and also allows for some time to catch your breath after touring and enjoy cruising on the Nile. (The sunrises and sun sets are spectacular.) Our tour was enhanced by Rania, our tour manager. She has the ability to impart both the history of Egypt and ancient Egyptians as well as the past and present culture of the country. On any given day, Rania was not only an impressive tour guide, but also a teacher, a shepherd, a nurse, a listener, an encourager and an advisor on all things souvenir. Rania brought to life the sites and stories of Egypt that first fascinated me as a nine year old in Mrs. Murray's fourth grade classroom. You will be most fortunate if you are in a tour group with her.

This was our very FIRST trip with Gate One. Because of our tour manager, it will not be our last. Shaimaa went above and beyond for everyone in the group but was especially sweet for us as we celebrated our anniversary. Her love and knowledge of the country was evident in every spoken gesture. Our entire group had a sense of comradery and friendship due to her leadership. Many of them were seasoned Gate 1 travelers, they too shared with us just how great our group was together. That's due to Shaimaa! What was also evident was the pride she took in working for Gate 1. Hearing good things from an employee says tons about your company, and every aspect of the trip was a success. Thank you Gate 1 for a trip we will never forget. It is my sincere hope you acknowledge Shaimaa and hold on to her, she is a gem and an asset. She has a fierce love and pride of her country that shows thru in her professionalism, knowledge, and the overall joy of doing her job. We will never forget Egypt; we will never forget Shaimaa. We look forward to many, many more years and adventures with Gate 1. We also look forward to seeing Shaimaa featured in the Egypt (and others) section! She's not just great at her job, she's beautiful too!

I am writing to highly commend our tour guide, Neveen, on the exceptional job she did on our recent trip to Egypt. Her attention to every detail was amazing as was her knowledge of Egypt, her concern for all of us, her organizational skills, her communication skills, her joy for her job, her sense of humor, and her leadership skills. We truly did become a family and there were many tears as we bid each other farewell. Neveen personifies the love she has for her country. She is an exceptional tour guide and we were most fortunate to have had her.

Our trip to Egypt was wonderful! We thought the itinerary was great. We definitely got to see the places we absolutely wanted to see. Getting to view the sites up close was beyond remarkable. There is no way that there is another person as passionate about Egypt as our tour manager Ossama was. He was well qualified, extremely knowledgeable and gave us a glimpse into the everyday culture and lifestyles of not only ancient Egyptians but also today's current residents. The way Gate 1 handles arrivals, departures, hotel/boat check-in/out procedures and the transfer of luggage is such a stress reliever. You have to be patient but it's worth it. The staff at the airports did a great job, especially at the Cairo airport. While waiting to move on after one of the screenings, a member in our group was approached by a police officer and he asked for her passport. The gate 1 agent came over and took care of that situation immediately. Thanks for providing us with a life changing experience. We look forward to planning another trip with Gate 1 in the very near future.

On our recent trip to Egypt, our tour guide, Ahmed was amazing. He has vast knowledge about Egypt's ancient history, he was always making sure we were safe and hydrated, and he brought together a disparate group of 26 people into one family. You have a real asset in Ahmed. By the way, he constantly extolled the virtues of Gate One and Egypt. Thank you for having Ahmed as a Gate One employee.

What a fantastic trip!! Our second with Gate 1. It was exceptional, but very exhausting for a retired couple. Everything Gate1 had control over was done to perfection. We just cannot say enough about our tour manager, Hossam. He was entertaining, very knowledgeable and sensitive to the needs of his group. He thoroughly explained each site we visited and left no question unanswered. The tours were first class, covering everything we wanted to see. The 3-day Nile River cruise was a relaxing pleasure. Our group consisted of 34 delightful people who really enjoyed being with one another. Again, we enjoyed the trip very much.

Our tour, the 17 Day Crown of Egypt and Jordan with 4-Day Nile Cruise, was absolutely amazing. Both of our tour managers, Noura in Egypt and Omar in Jordan, possessed encyclopedic knowledge of the sites we visited. Their boundless enthusiasm for that history was contagious and our questions were always thoughtfully and completely answered. Noura was a force of nature, leading the way and reminding us to "watch the uneven ground" while telling us about a particular site and its place in Egyptian history. Her energy kept us all going during that intense week of touring. Omar led at a more relaxed pace but no less effectively or admirably, and his wonderful sense of humor kept us on our toes. We also greatly enjoyed his insights into present-day Jordanian social and family life and structure, which helped some long hours on the bus pass quickly. I also wish to give a shout-out to Adel, our airport liaison in Cairo. His good humor and efficiency smoothed the way and made what could be a confusing and intimidating process much easier. This tour was a wonderful, amazing and unforgettable experience. We could not have asked for better tour managers.

As soon as our arrival to Cairo Peter was waiting for us, we felt welcome immediately, he took care of our Visa process and he took care of our suitcases. He is very good, friendly and he has a wonderful personality. Nihal, our tour guide is AMAZING, she has a very warm personality and she is very highly motivate guide, her knowledge about Egypt history is incredible and she made us felt very welcome. She was always on time and always happy to respond our questions and concerns. SHE DID A GREAT JOB AND SHE IS A TRUE SAMPLE OF EXCELLENT TOUR GUIDE! Thanks Nihal! it was a pleasure to have met you!

Just wanted to let you know we had the most wonderful time on our Egyptian tour. We felt Fawzy was one of the best tour guides. he was very knowledgeable, he always had our safety first, and he was always on time. We always knew where we stood with the upcoming day. As always the crew that met us at the airport, Kareem, was amazing. We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the dahabeah Sandrine. It was great that we could get right up to the shore and get off to see things and meet some interesting village people. The staff on the boat was above and beyond and we loved how they took care of us and the tugboat crew. They were so happy to do what they were doing and you could see their joy. We felt like we were on our personal yacht. The chef made the most amazing food and there was more than enough. Also loved the night on the island of Basheer. Egyptian luau. We were never lacking for anything! The captain would bring us cream every night for our morning coffee and he answered to any of our needs. In fact, may do another Egyptian tour but only on a Dahaybeya.

We have been lucky enough to travel the globe, but this was our first experience using a tour company. We had heard of Gate 1's reputation for quality so decided to take a chance. Everything was absolutely perfect. Every step the way was effortless and rewarding. We were the only travelers in our group that hadn't been on a least one Gat1 tour, and we now know why there were so many repeat quest. Thanks to our tour guide Caroline, Egypt was a breeze. Already plotting our next adventure. Thank you very much for making the trip wonderful!!!

My partner, Jack, and I, believe the learning and enjoyment connected with a tour are greatly determined by the tour guide, and there is no doubt that Riham gave us a spectacular time due to her historical expertise in general, her knowledge related to the itinerary sights, her discussions of culture, and, very importantly, her charming, passionate, and heart-filled personality! We appreciated her stellar organization, efficiency, and solicitousness--all of which inspired confidence in her leadership and made us feel safe and happy. She revealed her astounding country--Egypt--in all of its varied aspects--ancient and modern, which widened our understanding and empathy and created unforgettable memories. Riham has set a very high bar for future tour guides; she just was absolutely wonderful in every way, and we feel so fortunate to have had her as our lovely guide (would have been a far lesser trip without her)!

Just wanted to say how much we loved this tour. It was a dream come true. Mostly though I want to acknowledge our tour guide Hossam as one of the most best guides we have ever had. His knowledge and love of Egypt made this trip so special. He had a unique way of telling the stories of the past and made it fun while we were learning so much about Egypt and its amazing history. Every stop was remarkable and Hossam's care and connections really made a difference. Thank you again for a wonderful trip.

My tour lead, Amr, on this Egypt trip I just got back from was the best guide I have ever had on any trip, with your company and without. I felt so safe and secure and he met every need with the absolute best attitude and he just seemed like a really good human who loves his job. His guide skills made this trip extraordinary and his genuine love for his job and his country's history will ensure I never forget this trip.

COMFORT and SAFETY: Our bus was very comfortable, with an onboard restroom, should any of us need those facilities. There was never a moment that I felt uncomfortable, or unsafe. Every bus had a security guard and both Amr and he were always aware of where we were and what we were doing. It was clear they were watching out for us at all times. Our group wore our masks whenever we were in public and maintained our "bubble" when we were in the bus or hotel. We had all been vaccinated and all of us tested negative before we left for home, so the Covid protocols were successful! GUIDE: Amr was a perfect teacher. He was very clear on what we should and should not do, where we should or should not go, and gave us good tips on shopping wisely. He was enthusiastic about all the archeological sites we visited. His love for Egypt was contagious and we easily got caught up in his excitement of all that we saw. He was patient, encouraging and very clear on what we could expect from one day to another and how each day would flow. SCHEDULE: The time was well planned, giving us down time allowing for relaxation or personal adventures in the evenings. The days were non stop, but not hectic. We saw so many things that it's hard to tell our friends about it all, but we never felt rushed. The ten days flew by, yet we didn't feel completely exhausted when they were over. We saw more things, travelled more miles and ate more food than I ever thought was possible in just ten short days. I'm wondering if we'll ever be able to find another experience to even equal this one from GATE 1, much less beat it!

Our Egyptologist tour manager, Fawzy, has made our recent trip and cruise in Egypt the best trip we have taken with Gate 1. We notified him our medical situation in the early morning hour and he took care of it by breakfast. We can't thank him enough. He made everyone feel like a part of his family. He was willing to be a part of an impromptu special event, so we all remembered Ramesses Jr. and Nerfertari. We also truly appreciated his "story telling" and slide presentation, through which we had learned and understood a lot about the ancient and modern day Egypt. Thank you Gate 1 for continuing to outdo each trip for us with consecutive excellent tour managers.

I took the Dubai Egypt trip starting 1/17/2022 through 1/27/2022. I must compliment your company on its service. The people that assisted us on the trip were very knowledgeable and I found out services your company was offering that I knew nothing about and all I could say was WOW! I have been using Gate One for a long time, but this time it was so different maybe because it was Egypt. Well Iam working on my next trip with Gate One. Thank you all for working with me to make this trip a success. SEE YOU SOON

We have taken many Gate1 tours and all guides have been great, but Omar was beyond exceptional. Not only Was he extremely knowledgeable, but his enthusiasm was over the top. It was like he was seeing the sites for the first time. We could not have had better manager. Please pass along our many thanks.

The Egypt trip was fabulous!! Neveen was truly the best tour manager ever. She is so smart and we learned soo much. She is a hard act to follow. We want to go again. All the people involved - bus drivers - hotel staff are truly wonderful!!

We just wanted to add an extra word or two about our guide in Egypt! He was amazing!! The "excellent" rating in all categories doesn't come close to describing him and his abilities as a guide and as a representative for Egypt! We were so impressed with him and his knowledge, and his ability to make our group a cohesive, happy one! We will always remember Hossam!! And consider him as a friend!

My husband & I completed the 11-day Crown of Egypt tour from Dec. 10-21. The tour guide, Omar, was excellent!! Omar's passion for Egypt and it's history was unbelievable. He was a certified Egyptologist & could read the hieroglyphics! He was always available to all of the members of his group. We had a very cohesive group and felt equally safe at all times. My husband & I would definitely recommend him for all of Gate 1 tours in Egypt.

I had a wonderful extraordinary time, our tour manager Hossameldin was above and beyond expectations, even after several other trips with Gate 1, he was superb, funny gregarious, informative, inclusive, knowledgeable, called us Habibi (my dears), making sure everyone on the tour was enjoying themselves, safe, and getting the very most out of our trip. Even when there were unexpected events 'Sam' was ready, willing and able to maintain cohesiveness in managing time, traffic, whilst keeping to the agenda. Truly "top drawer." So very personable and enthusiastic about his country, antiquity, dates, names, he actually is a professor, and very much an asset to your company. Please send him my regards, and praise and be sure to keep him in the company. My next reservation with Gate 1 is the 12 day Greece with iconic cruise to Turkey in 2022, and I will be sure to keep watch for more of the World to See. I'm very impressed by your company staff, from reservation assistance Charlotte Moses, tour manager, drivers, hotel staff, and will continue to travel with Gate 1, and will recommend Gate 1 to any one willing and able to "see more of the world for less", the time spent traveling with Gate 1 is enriching my life beyond what I could do if I were on my own.

We traveled with Gate 1 to Egypt in November 2021. The itinerary was fabulous and it covered all of the major highlights this country has to offer featuring one of the world's greatest ancient civilizations. Gate 1 did a great job in making sure that our group adhered to a safe travel environment and even arranged for our return to the USA COVID testing which was done inside the convenience of our hotel. The tour manager, Omar, was one of the best we've ever had. His knowledge and excitement about each of the sites we visited really brought everything to life and made for a very educational and interesting experience. We love Gate 1 so much and know that they will do everything they can to make traveling as safe as possible that we already booked two trips for 2022. Don't wait to cross destinations off your bucket list any longer.....Get out there and see the world!

Understandably it can be stressful traveling during a pandemic. However we feel great loyalty to Gate One and hoped that every reservation held supports this great company to continue in these unprecedented times. Amr made us feel so comfortable and welcomed to his country. His upbeat personality allowed us to be joyful and relaxed and we returned home renewed and excited. Amr was concerned for the whole group's happiness and harmony and we became a family that week. In fact, we felt like he was extended family that we went to visit. Amr's knowledge of Egypt was outstanding and so interesting. We were encouraged to fully immerse ourselves in the experience and we certainly did! He had great tips at every location to maximize our time and be the most safe during the pandemic. We especially enjoyed the valley of the kings and Abu Simbel where we explored independently with his guidance.

Trip was excellent. Guide was unbelievably exceptional gave us incredible amounts of information and a feel at what happened in the last decade. The accommodations, the sites, river cruise and food were all terrific as the planning and arrangements were extremely well done. We enjoyed our Egypt experience.

Trip was great. Fabulous tour guide, Walid, and a great group to travel with. Accommodations were good as always and the program was packed entertaining and informative.
