Our trip to Morocco from 8/31/2023…
VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE
Today 25/8/2023 when i was in Monas
Southern England
I’d you don’t mind substandard accommodations, go for it.
This service is entirely unacceptable.
Not too bad for price, but...
I was not totally happy with our most recent trip on land and the Rhine River. I don't usually write emails or letters to companies unless their product of service is either outstanding and I want to compliment them, or it's poor or something has gone wrong, but I felt compelled to write to Gate 1.
I will tell you that on our most recent trip there was a very sick woman on our bus who coughed and coughed and coughed throughout the entire trip from Bruges, Belgium to Paris. Long story short, nobody wanted to sit near her on the bus, and when our table asked that she not sit with us because she was sick, the tour manager just came over and shoved a table next to us so she could sit with us. We protested, so he moved her a small distance away from us.
I wrote to Gate 1, who told me that "half of the group was sick," which was simply not true. The tour manager told Gate 1 that he wanted to put her with us "to ensure group harmony." So, Gate 1, "group harmony" is more important than our catching an infection? Why couldn't the tour manager have told everybody at the beginning of the tour that it will not be anything personal if he or she suggests that sick people isolate themselves whenever possible? I told Gate 1 that I would never travel with that tour manager again, and since they seemed to make excuses for the tour manager's actions, I am seriously considering not taking any more Gate 1 tours.
