It was the Classic Tour of Ireland…Our tour director was Cristianne. Our driver was John….Unfortunately I did not get her last name…
Please make sure this review goes to her management team and to her….
Our holiday would have been half as fun and interesting if we did not have Cristianne…she is absolutely indispensable because of her knowledge of Ireland..her presence made the already beautiful places many more times interesting..we have never come across such a beautiful, pleasant, and friendly guide in our entire life.
She explained everything beautifully and we came to know about various interesting things as guest in beautiful Ireland…even after returning home we are still
Talking about Cristianne’s wonderful story telling which made our bus trip so fun and festive…she made us feel
Like we were one of the Irish..we have never experienced such love and affection in a different country…she was so much more than a tour director it was like we were all,a big family…Cristianne gave us delicious treats….many surprises….that were not included…she is one beautiful young lady inside and outside..I fell in love with Ireland…and I could listen to Cristianne talk forever,,she is an absolutely romantic soul..
John our driver…made us feel safe while driving….made sure we got our luggage…very personable, kind and a wonderful personality…
This is was our first Gate 1 tour…but definitely not our last.
What a fantastic 1st experience we had with Gate 1
With much love,

And fun they made our holiday..

This is our 8th tour with Gate 1 Travel with 3 other family members joining us. The tour was excellent from beginning to end as we were lucky to have fine weather and lesser crowd to deal with as both Israel and Jordan had just opened its borders to visitors after almost 2 years of lock down because of the pandemic. Hats off both to our Israeli Tour Manager Gai Perez and his driver Boaz and to his Jordanian counterpart Tour Manager Ali Abu Daheh and driver Muhammad. Visiting those biblical and ancient places with the historical narrative of both our very informative and friendly Tour Managers are beyond words. Our visit to the Israel-Jordanian Holy Land is a trip of a lifetime for me and my family members.
