Brazil, Argentina, Chile & Colombia

The trip was absolutely terrific. Albano Girabaldi the tour manager was fantastic as were the local guides in each location especially Enrique in Chile. Albano was warm, knowledgeable, competent has a sense of humor and helped facilitate group dynamics. The itinerary was perfect with the right amount of time in each location. Hotels were excellent and we were very impressed with the Stella Aurelis expedition ship. One thing that in particular worked well which was really by chance was the group mix, all very different but everyone got along well and mixed together. The group blended very well. In addition the weather cooperated and we got to see Torres Del Paine and land on Cape Horn. It was a very successful trip and there really wasn't anything we would change.

Our trip was wonderful. Our guide for the entire trip, Marina was absolutely the BEST. She was knowledgeable, extremely pleasant and very helpful. Loved every moment with her.

Our trip was wonderful, Gate 1 really does a fantastic job on picking their tour guides, how they lay out their trips, where they go and what is included. Another wonderful tour with your company and Patagonia was just beautiful, never experienced before such forceful winds of Mother Nature, beautiful landscape!

It was an amazing trip. Very much on the other side of the world. Will definitely recommend it to others. Our tour director Veni was amazing.

Our 18 day Classic Tour of Brazil, Argentina and Peru was fantastic! We covered a lot and had some amazing experiences - including several wonders of the world - Christ the Redeemer, Iguazu Falls and Machu Picchu. The itinerary was great, and both our Tour Managers (Noelia and Leo) were outstanding, full of knowledge and very organized. Our thanks also to the local guides who were excellent. All in all it was a great trip, with lovely hotels and a wonderful group. Thanks Gate 1 - we're looking forward to our next adventure with you!

It was great. Virginia was a wonderful tour guide, we had a wonderful group of people sharing our adventure, and we saw amazing places. Thank you for helping with planning for our incredible trip.

It was a great trip of South America, it was perfect weather, well organized trip by Gate1, and most important the national guide, Alejandro. He was unbelievable, a nice person in every respect. We had traveled with Seven different tour companies, I would rate him number one.

We would like to thank you for a great tour we hade with your company in Colombia. Every thing was excellent-hotels, food, buses and especially the tour manager-Mr. Romero and all the local guides

My trip was fantastic!!! I had great time in So America, I learned a lot, had wonderful experiences, visited awesome places on planet Earth. It all was possible because of your company. Schedule was right for me, and I always sign up for all the optional tours because they provide unique experiences. It was such a pleasure to travel in Brazil and Argentina with Marina Ferina. I was really impressed and enjoyed her knowledge and humor, delightful attitude and motherly care about every person in the group, she is a star in your company. I had a great experience in Peru, our tour guide was Carlos Yepez. Passionate about his country, caring, and good leadership. The local guide to Uros islands on lake Titicaca and Sillustani Tombs was Marita Tito. Wonderful story teller, performer, and educator. We really enjoyed her company and knowledge. I am very grateful for every single moment that I had on this journey, and will travel with Gate 1 next year. Africa perhaps?

Absolutely fantastic. We were really impressed with Gate 1. It was a busy time, but the guides were super organized, knowledgeable and efficient!! The standard of hotels was excellent, and we especially loved the one in Cusco. We also appreciated the fact that the gratuities were included, which made things a lot easier. I can't imagine doing a tour with anyone other than Gate 1. Outstanding!!

Our trip to South America was wonderful, we really enjoyed it. The tour manager Carol and all local guides (especially Iguazu local guide Marty) were all very good, professional and made the journey so pleasant. We definitely will travel with Gate 1 again.

We had a fabulous time. The itinerary was just what we had hoped for. The weather was picture perfect. The people were friendly and enjoyable to be with. Flávio, our tour guide was the best. Looking forward to receiving everyone's email address.

Great trip. Nice flight, beautiful hotel, friendly people and our tour guide, Sam, was awesome, helpful and knowledgeable.

My Trip to Brazil/Iguazu Falls/Argentina, was absolutely wonderful! Our Tour Manager Pablo, was exceptional; he was knowledgeable, organized, resourceful and caring. I believe that because of his leadership, our group was so much more cohesive and enjoyable. From flights, to local tour guides, all modes of transportation and accommodations and of course the wonderful dining experiences were top notch! I look forward to my next trip with Gate 1 Travel!

We had a great time! To start off our tour guide was lovely, Karen. She was so sweet and easy to get along with, but very professional at the same time. All the local guides we had were so knowledgeable and seemed to be very glad we were visiting their country! We were happy with the hotel locations. One may have not been as nice as the others but the extras we did there made up for the hotel. Very pleased with the trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip to South America with Gate 1, no glitches, nice hotels and a wonderful tour guide, Sole!

SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!!!!! Hard being back and back to work...I can't say enough about it...waiting on the survey...Really just amazing, great group, all the logistics are so impressive, Albano went above and beyond as a tour leader, and all of the local guides were the best!! Can't wait for my next trip!

Our trip to Columbia was great, we learned more than we expected. We had a fabulous tour manager. Our local guides and drivers were all top notch. This was our 13th trip with Gate 1 and we will be on more Gate 1 trips in the future. Thank you for the expert team members and great itineraries, we always come home with a great appreciation for the knowledgeable people we encounter on these trips.

We had a wonderful time. Our guide, Alejandra, was probably the best one we have ever had!

Our trip was amazing!! Our tour manager, John, did such a fantastic job of making it enjoyable and making everything run smoothly. My 15-year-old son was so impressed he said we should do all of our trips with Gate 1 Travel from now on. I'd definitely like to do more traveling with Gate 1. The trip exceeded our expectations. We learned so much and saw so much. We have so many fond memories from this trip. My sons were born in Colombia and I took them back to learn more about their heritage. Our trip was so special for all of us. Thank you!!!

Charles and I have a great time. It is the trip of a life time with unique memories. Our tour manager, Alex, is great and so are the local guides and drivers. Hotel location is good, easy access to local sights and markets. I managed to take over 1,300 photos. Since it is a very small group, we bond very well. Some of us are staying in touch for future trips with Gate 1.

The trip was great. I thought the hotels were excellent - especially in their location. Silvia was a superb trip manager, and all of the local guides were also very good. I got a good overview of several locations in South America through the trip - which is what I was looking for.

Thank you for asking. It was a wonderful trip. Gate 1 knows how to pick great travel guides. Alejandro from Buenos Aires who accompanied us throughout handled the sometimes difficult situations with calm and compassion. We all loved him. Eduardo, our Santiago guide, was very knowledgable, efficient and organized. Nicholas in Rapa Nui was the ideal tour guide who as a local Polynesian from the island gave us excellent information both on the history, myths and present situation. We liked the hotels and the meals, too.

The trip was fantastic! It was my first time traveling with Gate 1 and I can't wait for my next adventure with this company. Our tour director,Alex, was outstanding. He treated all of the guests like family. He had a wealth of knowledge about the three counties that we visited and he articulately shared the history and culture of each country with us . He also acted as our local guide in Chile .The local guides,Pablo, from Argentina and Alex, from Brazil were also outstanding. I have traveled with other companies in the past, and to me the tour leader can make or break the trip. Alex went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and to ensure that each one of returned home with lasting memories. Lastly, I need to mention the beautiful hotels and lovely meals and exclusions that Gate 1 offers. To me, this was a trip of a lifetime!

Wonderful! The sights and activities were all we were hoping for and more! Perfect weather everywhere we went and personable, knowledgeable, and funny tour guides. SO HAPPY with this vacation!

My trip was wonderful! I had Carol as a guide and I couldn't have asked for someone better. She is such an asset to your company. I am very pleased with your company and will use Gate 1 Travel in the future. All the hotels were wonderful and up to a very high standard, the buses were clean and comfortable, the local guides were pleasant and knowledgeable, the offered tours met expectations, and all connections were well planned. I have already recommended Gate 1 to all of my friends and family.

We had a wonderful time in South America. We were lucky to be blessed with good weather for the entire duration of the tour.We had amazing experiences and our our Tour Manager Alex was very good.

Trip to Colombia was fabulous due to the itinerary and our very knowledgeable guide Edgar. Always willing to assist with a special need or question. On specific days, Sam, Omar and Karen also joined us to add a special touch. This was the 5 trip I have take with Gate 1 and i would not hesitate to go again.

This trip was beyond fantastic. We missed one day of our tour due to airline problems but our group leader, Marina, made sure we got to see and experience everything! The local guides were excellent as well. Rio and Buenos Aires are cities not to be missed and Iguazu Falls are breathtaking!!! One of the highlights was visiting a local school sponsored by Gate 1. The pace on this trip was perfect with time on our own to explore. Thanks for another amazing trip!!!!

I apologize for the slow response! Our trip to Colombia was spectacular. Juan David Camacho was an absolutely amazing tour guide--he was friendly and knew so much about the country of Colombia. My wife and I absolutely loved our experience and will definitely be traveling with Gate 1 in the future.

It was a wonderful trip. Our tour guide Marina is a fantastic guide. Because of her diligence and caring nature in treating everyone of us in the best possible way, we are planning additional tours in South America assuming we will have her as our guide again. Please pass our compliments to her. Thanks.

Our trip was most enjoyable! We really enjoyed visiting Cartagena and our Gate 1 Guide, Vicki, is fantastic! She assured our trip was top notch in every way possible and is amazingly knowledgeable about the history of her area.

Really nice! Interesting place (Cartagena). The guide, Vicki, was outstanding in every way. She went above & beyond to satisfy our interest in the country...Gate 1 delivered again!
