Don't take a tour with Gate 1 to Egypt! Our family went with them and had the worst accommodations (lodging and food). Plus a tour guide and his friends who scammed us out of $100 in spices + scammed us at a restaurant (charged us money for food that was supposed to be included on the tour and wouldn't let us leave until we did).

I am concerned about the coronavirus for this trip...mostly about being quarantined on the return flight to Miami from Milan..do I have any options to fly out out of another city?

Gate1travel - They have cancel for any reason for $169.00 but don't share that

We booked a trip to Europe and I purchased insurance. As I go to cancel they have a full refund if you notify them 60 days or more before. I notified them 63 days before. WHY are they keeping $2,800 They are crooks and don't trust them. The women who took my call said I needed to do it in writing and I did it twice in writing but they don't acknowledge it. So disappointedd. I will be using Perillo tours from now on.

Hello, I am not sure that you booked your tickets through our company. We are Gate 1 Travel, a U.S.based tour operator. It seems you may have booked through Gate 1 which is a European consolidator whom we have no association with.

Gate1travel - Incompetent regarding flight scheduling

Gate 1 is incompetent in flight scheduling. Orientation w tour manager for Japan will be @ 7pm but flight will arrive @ 11pm. We paid Gate 1 to do their basic job; Schedule flight time coordinates w tour orientation & not arrival in a forgien country @ night w no pick which we prepaid for the pickup.Gate 1 doesn't seem to rectify their mistake. Gate 1 keeps stalling stating they r working on it. It takes more than 2 wks to change a flight schedule. Avoid Gate 1 fr now on.
