Our tour guide, Jose, was outstanding in every respect. Super knowledgeable, incredibly organized, and always upbeat and patient.

Had a truly great time and Rolly was fantastic in every which way ! He was very knowledgeable and helpful, Going out of his way many times! The sights were breathtakingly beautiful and we really were blessed with perfect weather everywhere! Thanks for a great trip!

My trip was the most amazing adventure with Gate 1. Our tour director Elvis was a fantastic leader of our Peru family. Our group consisted of various personalities and backgrounds that came together to form a bond that created a lasting impression on me. We had the best driver Julio navigating the beautiful terrain of the various cities of Peru. Our knowledgeable tour guides Mauricio and Jason were extremely informative and helpful. It was an awesome experience.

Elvis was exceptional, competent, caring, knowledgeable, funny. Perfect mix of factual and personal information. Everything is taken care of swiftly and well. Superb. Our driver julio was also superb, good driver, kind, smiling at us. Excellent trip overall. Thank you.

We were on the 14 Day Peruvian Legends tour. Our tour guide, Elvis, was one of the most exceptional guide we have experienced. We had some of our follow guest have altitude sickness and other medical problems, he handled everything perfectly and with great skill. While visiting the school in Peru you could tell that the students and staff at the school were very happy and excited to see Elvis. He had a diverse group and was able to work with everyone and gain cohesion to make a fun trip. Elvis helped us understand the politics of election in Peru and how the country developed and is now functioning. Thanks for finding an excellent guide for our tour. You should be very proud to have Elvis on your team.

I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed being able to visit both the Amazon and the Andes on my recent trip. It was the chance to experience both locales that led me to book this trip. I also wanted to commend Mauricio for his outstanding service as our tour manager. He went out of his way to take good care of each of us, and we learned so much from him. Plus he had a great sense of humor and made the trip fun as well as informative. Another plus was that all of the members of our group were kind, considerate, friendly, and punctual. That's a tribute both to the tone set by Mauricio and the type of traveler that Gate 1 attracts.

Just a shout out to our tour manager, Gary! On our 12 day Peru Kaleidoscope tour! He took good care of us like a family, we felt safe, and he is the best!

Just wanted to say our guide Edgar for the Peru 10 day classic was the best guide ever. He went above and beyond his duties and handled everything with professionalism and grace and best guide I've ever experienced including knowledge.

Abel was a knowledgeable, positive, caring tour manager on our trip. He made sure we were always taken care of going above and beyond what was expected. I would highly recommend him as a requested trip tour manager to our friends. Rodrigo, the assistant manager for part of the tour, was very helpful and informative, as well. Walter, who assisted us in coming from and going to the airport, was friendly and welcoming. He gave us great suggestions as to what to explore on our first day in Lima. The drivers were excellent. They made us feel safe as we drove sometimes at night in heavy traffic and on windy roads. Gate1 has chosen the most excellent people to conduct this tour! I will recommend this tour to friends.

This was our first Gate 1 trip. I want to express how much we appreciated our tour manager Jose. He was likely one of the best tour guides/managers we have experienced. Excellent communication and organizational skills Incredibly knowledgeable, personable, highly responsible, always focused on our safety (physical safety as well as food), kept the group aligned around complex logistics for Machu Picchu - and just a wealth of knowledge and kindness. We were also super impressed with all the Gate 1 personnel that we encountered from the start to the end - drivers, assistant tour managers, airport transfer guides etc. - as well as the trip organization and depth experienced in a compact timeline.

I just returned from an amazing 10 day tour of Peru and I want to thank our wonderful guide Washington for a fascinating cultural experience. His indigenous background and many years of experience obviously meant our trip was seamless and our experiences were enriched from the depth of his knowledge of the country and culture. His assistant Jimmy also added a lot to our enjoyment as well. He will be someone that could follow in Washington's footsteps for sure. Highlights for me were, of course Machu Picchu (we lucked out with weather), the cultural center visit of Chinchero in the Sacred Valley and the visit to the reed islands and their inhabitants on Lake Titicaca. Of course the countryside scenery everywhere was stunning. Thanks Gate 1 for another amazing well organized tour.

We had an amazing trip in Peru with Gate 1. We hit the lottery with our tour manager, Pavel. Pavel is the best tour manager we've had so far for all the discovery trips we went on. He's so kind-hearted and dedicated to his job, to our small group of 8 people 24/7 with such personal care for each one of us. He goes way over and beyond his duties to give us as much cultural experience as possible by offering optional activities in our free time such as leisure walk around our hotel in Puno, a bon fire with roasting marshmallows and music before dinner in Colca, a folklore dancing show with dinner in Puno, tasting different kinds of breads along our drives, a market tour, etc... and much more. Our journey was extra special because of Pavel. He was so excited to show us Cuzco, his beautiful hometown, and we had a wonderful 3 nights there. Thanks to our main driver, Irving, for his incredible driving skills and navigating us through a couple of transportation strikes without a hitch. Thank you Maria, Jose, and David for your local expertise in Lima, Ariquipa, and Puno. Thank you again for a memorable journey, one that we will never forget and looking forward to our next trips with Gate1.

I recently completed 10 days in Peru with Alejandro as the tour manager. I traveled alone for my 30th birthday celebration and Alejandro, all assistant tour guides, all day tour guides, and all drivers made my experience safe, comfortable, fun and one I will not soon forget. The experience was so beautiful I feel compelled to share with Gate 1 how lovely the staff was. Alejandro, Elisa, Alberto, Broz, Pepe (driver), Dante (driver), the family that hosted dinner - all deserve recognition on their phenomenal assistance. Thank you!

Henry, our tour manager is beyond excellent!!! Such a nice person that made sure we are safe and always taken cared off. This is our first time travelling with Gate1 and because of Henry this will not be the last. The only problem is that he did set a very high standard to our next tour manager, we hope he/she will be like Henry. Gate 1 is so lucky to have an employee like him to represent Gate1.

Returning home from Peru with Edgard and wanted to tell all how amazing and wonderful he was! Edgard is so knowledgeable about Peru and history, exceedingly patient and helpful. I've had 15 Gate 1 trips and Edgard rates at very top of Tour Managers I've experienced. He worked long days and nights to ensure our time and trip was extremely exceptional in every way!!

I would like to comment on our local guides. I have always appreciated the way Gate 1 showcases local culture, but I was very impressed with our guide in Peru who was also the local guide in Cuzco. His passion for his culture, sustainable tourism and conservation in general was palpable, and it gave the tour a personal touch. Thank you Julio! Also, our driver Cesar was excellent. Bus drivers have an important job in keeping travelers safe and I have GREAT respect for what they do. When you get to experience their individual personalities, it's even better! Cesar offered hand sanitizer every time we reentered the bus which I think contributed to not one person getting sick (except for a bit of altitude issues). I think it's the first time we traveled with a group where not one person shared a virus!

Mauricio was an outstanding tour manager. He went above and beyond to take care of the team. He was selfless with his knowledge and history of Peru. He was present and attentive to all our needs and concerns. Wonderful experience because of Mauricio!!

We have experienced some exceptional tour managers on previous Gate 1 tours. However, none can compare with the service provided by Pável on our Perú tour. His attention to detail was astounding, potential problems were anticipated and taken care of, nothing was too much trouble, everything was explained clearly, urgent situations were dealt with immediately, seamlessly, and with care and sensitivity to the individual concerned. All this was done with kindness and humor. His knowledge of Peru, its geography, history, and current affairs was exemplary, and provided vital insight into the country, its landscape, and people. Consequently, we loved all aspects of Peru, and the trip was a spectacular success.

5 Stars!!!! Awesome. The Peruvian Tour Director Juan and Associate/ Local Guide Reuben were outstanding, best in class. I strongly suggest adding Reuben to the Gate 1 Team with greater responsibility. Juan could be a Regional Director. The Bolivian Guide David was very good.. Our experience in Buenos Aires was also 5 Stars excellent. Tour Director Pablo, similar to the Peru team, outstanding and best in class. This was our first Gate 1 journey. We have traveled with many other tour companies and based on this experience, see no reason to go with anyone but Gate 1.

It was a great vacation. Juan, our tour manager, was fantastic, very knowledgeable and excited to share his country with us. Ruben, our local guide, was knowledgeable and a very thorough and thoughtful guide. Giovanna was a great tour manager as well. All of our Gate 1 trips were fabulous, and we would recommend Gate 1 to everyone!

I recently returned from a Discovery tour of Peru. I can not say enough about every Gate 1 employee I met on this trip, especially Victor. Victor went above & beyond expectations in every way every day. His special touches made this trip even more memorable, like assuring all our rooms faced Lake Titicaca so we could see the sunrise over the lake from our rooms & bringing grass so we could feed the llamas & alpacas. He scheduled rest stops at interesting places that had more than just toilets (shops or amazing views), kept us interested with history & Peruvian tales & showed us movies that pertained to what we were to see or do. All of our city guides were wonderful, Mauricio, Renzo, David & Richard, bringing their own unique perspective on where we visited. I can not say enough about Victor. We had several medical issues with a few guests which he handled professionally & safely. He treated us like family making sure everyone was included in our activities to their ability. He is truly an asset to your company. Also, Richard will make a fantastic tour manager because he has learned from the best! Also, I'd like to mention the best bus driver on the planet, Julio, who drove our big bus thru those mountain roads like he was driving a tuk tuk!

I would like to thank you for a most wonderful adventure in Peru. Our tour guide Jesus was so thoughtful, proactive, organized and helpful for the entire trip. I knew Machu Picchu would be great, but Jesus made everything about Peru so interesting and exciting. In fact, all of the Gate 1 staff made the entire trip wonderful. Thanks for another terrific Gate 1 tour.

I recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Peru with Gate1Travel, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Everything about this tour exceeded my expectations. I was fortunate to travel with a wonderful group of people, and the camaraderie we shared made the journey even more special. Our tour manager, Americo, was truly exceptional. He made sure everyone in the group was well taken care of at all times, and his passion for Peru shone through in the rich history and insights he shared. His organization, care, and knowledge added so much depth to the entire trip. A special thank-you as well to our driver, Dante, whose skillful navigation and calm driving made every ride smooth and comfortable. The bus was always clean and well-maintained, which we all appreciated. The local guides, Elisa and Eliseo, were both fantastic. Their detailed explanations brought every site to life. Elisa's tour of the Museo Larco was especially memorable - she presented the information so clearly and engagingly that it was easy to understand and truly enjoy. Overall, this Peru trip was amazing from start to finish. Gate1Travel delivered an incredible experience, and the people who guided us made it unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone considering a trip to Peru!

Our trip to Peru was marvelous! Our excellent tour manager Julio guided us through panoramic vistas and cultural experiences that made us vow to return.

My wife and I just finished the 10 day classic Peru trip with 5 friends that all became interested in joining us to explore Peru. We were very satisfied with the itinerary and the optional tours. Every day was packed with something spectacular to see and do. Our tour manager Roger and assistant Henry were both 5 star guides. They were extremely knowledgeable, organized, kept their cool even during difficult situations outside of their control and FUN! Machu Pichu was spectacular as expected, but there was so much more to the trip! This was our 8th gate1 tour and we'll be back with you soon.

I just wanted to send a message regarding our recent trip to Peru and the outstanding job that was done by our Tour Manager Washington. Simply "top notch" in all aspects! We couldn't have asked for a better guide! His personal attention to details and special needs of different guests was incredible! What a great reflection on Gate 1! I can't say enough about this wonderful trip that really was accomplished through the tremendous "people skills" of Washington. We learned, we explored, we had fun, and we became family all through his efforts. Safety was always at the top of his list and our trip was absolutely " Epic". Please pass on our thanks and appreciation for a job well done and let Senior Management know what a fine representation they have in Peru!

This was an amazing trip and the TG, his assistant TG and the bus drivers were all perfect. Fredy was so knowledgeable and any questions we had were answered right away. Every recommendation was on point, from restaurants to shopping. Any suggestion he had, I took and it was exactly what I was looking for. Fredy made sure we were comfortable and was always asking if we needed anything. The assistant TG was equally as good. He made sure we had everything we needed. The bus drivers were great drivers and had our luggage in each place promptly. The TM and assistant TM brought snacks on days where we did not have time to stop and it was so good. I appreciated that we never went hungry or thirsty. This was my 5th Gate 1 trip and only solidifies why I will always be a customer. It was the little things they did that made the trip extra special.

I would like to thank Gate 1 and Discovery Tours for the amazing experience we had on the 14 Day Peruvian Legends Tour. The itinerary was excellent and we especially appreciated the opportunities for cultural connections. The hotels and included meals were top notch. But what really made the tour exceptional was the Gate 1 staff. Our tour manager, Victor has excellent communication skills and made our group feel like a family. He helped us see his country through his eyes and made us feel very welcome. He went out of his way to make sure all our needs were taken care of throughout the tour. We had an amazing driver, Dante, who efficiently got us where we needed to be and made us feel safe. Our local guides, Liliana, David, and John Claude were all very knowledgeable and friendly.. Our first tour with Gate 1 was an adventure we will never forget and we look forward to our next opportunity to travel with Gate 1.

On my way recent trip to Peru the tour manager Jimmy was the most pleasant most knowledgeable most accommodating ever. It was my 25th trip with Gate 1 Travel and he was by far the best. I think my best comment would be he was extremely proud of his country and his heritage and added a lot of richness to the trip. He went out of his way to make our experience great he explained things and wonderful detail and always try to enrich our understanding and experiences as well as our fun. The best I've had in over 10 years.

We returned yesterday from a most fantastic trip! What made it so fabulous and fun was our Tour Manager, Jean. He went above and beyond to share his vast knowledge while making sure everyone had what they needed and knew what to do and when to do it. His personality was amazing! We all had the best time being with him.

Most amazing trip and this was my 9th Gate 1trip, driver was amazing in those narrow streets and always had water and hand sanitizer ready and bus was clean, local guides were knowledgeable and interesting, tour manager Elvis showed his loved for Peru and kept harmony and in the group and kept us safe and informed. I lost my passport coming back from Machu Pichu and staff located it and arranged for the return that night which is amazing and is main reason I use gate 1 because I know they look out our health and safety. I am still amazed at what I saw and how I was taken care of for 14 days, well done!!!

I loved my trip to Peru! The hotels were well located and the meals were delicious. Fredy is the best and sweetest tour manager!! Everything was always organized, communicated easily and made fun with so many surprises. I am happy to be part of his "family". Ruben was also so great! He was such a phenomenal resource guide and organizer! I am so glad that Fredy and Ruben were with us at Machu Picchu as well - an amazing experience with great caretakers. The two of them along with our safe driver, Livia, truly made the trip one-of-a-kind. For as much travel and logistics that were involved, it was easygoing and I feel as if I now have friends in Peru.

Our journey through Ecuador and Peru was truly transformative, thanks in large part to our extraordinary guides, Wilson and Ronald. Both brought exceptional knowledge of their country's history, geography, and biodiversity, along with a deep, personal understanding of the indigenous cultures that shaped these lands. Their firsthand experiences growing up within these traditions allowed them to share not just information, but living stories-giving our group a rare and meaningful glimpse into the beliefs, customs, and spiritual heritage of the indigenous communities. Beyond their remarkable expertise, what set Wilson and Ronald apart was their genuine care and dedication to the well-being of every traveler.

It was amazing! Jimmy was amazing, amazing, amazing tour, guide, and director. He went above and beyond for our whole group! It was so knowledgeable about the area and took such great care of us. Some people had altitude sickness, and he made sure that they were all taken care of. Peru is a beautiful country and we really enjoyed it! I believe that was either my seventh or eighth Gate 1 tour and I will be doing more with your company.

Had a wonderful trip to Peru primarily due to our Gate 1 Tour Guide Abel. Abel has a deep knowledge of Peruvian History. He was caring & personable. Each day he took time to talk with everyone and ensure we were pleased, immediately reacted to any concerns. Abel exceeded my expectations by flawlessly handling each and every detail during my visit to Peru.

We had a wonderful time in Peru. Abel, our tour director, was in one word Fantastic! His managerial and problem-solving skills were excellent. His passion for his country was evident in the way he presented all information to us. He drew us together as a caring and cohesive group of friends. He was very much a part of that friendship. We have been on many tours, and I have to say that Abel was the best. Dante, our driver, was also excellent. Also, a big shoutout for Reuben, our assistant tour director, for his guidance and helping to make things go smoothly. The trip was a great experience in every respect.

Recently finished a trip to Peru and Amazon. Gate 1 tour manager Mauricio was fantastic! He anticipated the group's every need and made the high energy, activity filled itinerary seamless. All the behind the travel details taken care of without us seeing the difference. Language and cultural discrepancies managed seamlessly. Mauricio presented himself as an honest man representing his country and sharing its beauty with enthusiasm and honesty. A fabulous tour.

Just want to add my wife and I Gate 1 experience was exceptional. This in part was made by many things that Gate 1 anticipated and made it much less stressful when travelling for over 18 days. We enjoyed that the staff took care in helping, leading and directing guests. But overall, our satisfaction with the trip was elevated to a 10 by tour managers, Marina and Jimmy, who made the group come together like a family. They are so knowledgeable which made the tours so enjoyable. That is what I wanted, the history of the sites. They are so helpful in listening to all who has questions or problems. Their handling of tours, flights and coach rides are amazing. They are funny and just made each day with them so enjoyable. Overall, my wife and I are impressed with the tour we just went on and probably will join more Gate 1 tours in the future.

Just wanted to say Gary was the best tour manager we have experienced! He put safety first at all times and treated everyone in the group as part of his family. A very passionate and knowledgeable guide!

The 12 Day Kaleidoscope of Peru was our 8th tour with Gate 1. The tour managers on all our trips have been excellent and one of the reasons we travel with Gate 1. Our tour manager for Peru was Pavel. He is by far the best of all managers we have been with. I hope Gate 1 realizes what a fantastic manager Pavel is. I cannot think of all the superlatives that would describe Pavel and our tour of Peru.

While I scored the maximum rating for our tour manager, the survey did not give me the opportunity to express how impressed my wife and I were regarding our tour manager, Edgar. Edgar's in-depth knowledge of history about not only Perú, but much of South America, was immeasurable. Not only ancient and modern history, but also culture and politics. Never have we had a guide in all the trips we have done over the years, that has left us with such a lasting impression. Finally. Edgar's constant care and wellbeing for his tour group were much appreciated.

We had a fabulous trip to Peru. We took the 7-Day Peru & Machu Picchu with Dimas as our tour manager. Dimas always reminded us of the altitude issues, best places to eat and shop. He did a very good job of keeping the schedule to the dot, at times even earlier. It was an enjoyable trip. Machu Picchu was more than our expectations. Noteworthy is Joel, Dimas' Cusco helper. Very kind, considerate and knowledgable of his hometown. They both took good care of the 28 people in the group. We were sad to leave when the trip ended. Thank you Gate 1 for giving us Dimas and Joel who made our trip more memorable and safe.

We were thoroughly impressed with our 10-day tour of Peru this past August. Our guide, Jesus, was exceptional, demonstrating a wealth of knowledge and a contagious sense of humor that made learning about the history of Peru an absolute pleasure. His fluent English was an asset to the group and ensured a seamless experience. The tour was well-paced and allowed us to fully appreciate each location without feeling rushed. A special commendation also goes to the entire team, including the local guides and drivers, for their professionalism and their success in providing an authentic, local-level experience. The entire journey was a testament to their dedication. We would confidently recommend this tour to friends and fellow travelers. Thank you again for an unforgettable trip.

The trip to Peru was challenging but really informative. Learned how different the Peruvian culture is to many of the other countries I have visited. Of course our tour director Americo was excellent and explained in depth the Incan and other Peruvian cultures, government and daily lives and customs. So happy I went and enjoyed the wonderous sights.

I just want to write a short comment regarding our 9-day trip to Peru. This was an unforgettable trip and learned a ton about every location we visited. I attribute the success of this trip to our tour manager, Jimmy. He was most helpful and catered to everyone's needs and took care of each and every member of our tour group, from beginning to end. We truly lucked out by having him as our tour manager. Thank you as well to your entire staff for helping us through out this process from the moment we booked the trip until the moment we got home. Keep up the great work!
