This was our first Gate1 River cruise, but many land tours prior. It was done in an excellent manner, staff, boat, buses, hotel the works! Good job Gate1 as usual!
Gate1 is the most pleasant travel surprise we’ve had. They rank very highly with us. We will definitely book with them again.
Gate 1 River Cruise with Monarch Countess exceeded our expectations in every way. Better than Vikings in quality of food and ship design (more public space alternatives). Price is half of Vikings price.
Before the trip when I told people we were taking a river cruise, their response was "Is it Viking?" I said "No, Gate 1" and they responded "who? " They are definitely a well guarded secret. I don't see how the more expensive Viking cruises could be better. Thanks to our agent for recommending Gate 1.
