    All staff were wonderful! The guides and tour directors were very knowledgeable and engaging with all of us. I have been on 6 GATE1 trips to date and have enjoyed them all. 

    The only negative experience was the Hotel breakfast in Prague. Most of the hot entrees were cold. The tour guides and staff were excellent. They were very knowledgeable it made our travel experiences even better.
