We had a wonderful time in Croatia- I think this trip was one of the best Gate 1 discovery tours we have taken. Mr. Z was a very organized tour manger. He and Ivan kept all of us safe and on track on our hikes. We enjoyed all the hikes with beautiful scenery. Croatia has beautiful islands and mountains. Our group got along so well like a little family. Mr Z also gave us an unexpected, unplanned bonus hike on our last day. That was a perfect ending of our tour. We are looking forward to our next Gate 1 trip. We can always count on Gate 1 for an unforgettable experience! Thank you again Gate1.
Lam-Anh G.The trip was fantastic! Our group was a lot of fun! Both guides were helpful & knowledgeable. I loved the cultural experiences. This was my first Gate 1 trip but I'll be looking for my next one.
Donna W.Thank you! This trip exceeded my expectations. The description was a walking trip. But it was a hiking adventure. I was so pleased about that. Beautiful scenery, Challenging trails. Our guides were warm, engaging, intelligent, and fun! The accommodations were comfortable and inviting. Food out of this world! Thank you again, Gate 1 for another memorable and fulfilling adventure.
Debra O.My trip to Croatia was wonderful and I just wanted to say that both the guides were OUTSTANDING. The guides make the whole experience. Traveling solo is hard but knowing the guides are well informed about the areas and so organized makes it so much easier.
Michelle B.The Greece Walking Tour was great! We enjoyed everything about the trip from the natural beauty of Zagori and Meteora, to the history and culture of the small villages and towns, to Mountain Tea and Mountain Music, to the stone bridges, Vikos Gorge, the monasteries, the Pindus Range and the amazing rock formations. We also had great accommodations and food throughout the trip. Our guide and driver Dimitris and Gregory were both personable, knowledgeable and accommodating, and made our trip completely stress-free. Thank you Gate 1 for a wonderful itinerary and unforgettable trip.
Holly K.The walking tour of Croatia was amazing! Our guides Ivan and Mate were fabulous, funny, fit, and friendly. I travelled with my son, one of my childhood friends and her daughter and we all loved the experience. We loved the surprise Olive Oil tasting at the beginning and all of the group meals. The hikes were challenging, but not too much so, with plenty of opportunities for breaks. Our little group of four added on two days in Split and two days in Dubrovnik which allowed us time to explore the cities, too. When we were in Korcula, we opted not to go on the hike to the Mljet park so that we could let some sore joints heal and spend a day immersing in the town. The hotels were well appointed and generally located in convenient areas. Unfortunately the Hotel Lapad is on a street that has been under construction for a while. Hopefully, the street and promenade will be completed in the next year or so. But that didn't stop us from enjoying our stay there. Each of the hotels on our trip were well appointed, had great staff, fabulous breakfast buffets, and were close to restaurants, beaches and historic sights. We also met some wonderful folks, shared contact information, and hope to travel with them again! I've told everyone that Croatia was my favorite European country thus far...the Adriatic Sea was gorgeous, the red tile roofs were classic, the history was all around us, and the people were so friendly.
Julie H.Our trip was wonderful. We fell in love with Croatia and our two walking guides, Ivan and Mate. The walking and hiking were wonderful. I would prefer more trail hiking. Some of our walking was on roads, but nevertheless, lovely. I would say at least half of our group really were not hikers and by the last two days, these folks were done. Ivan was very patient and worked well with them. I cannot say enough about the great organization, care, accommodations, and patience of Ivan and Mate. Fantastic trip.
Katheryn S.We had an amazing hiking trip to Greece! Thanks to our tour guides, Dimitri and Angelos for keeping us safe when hiking on difficult terrains. Our driver, Gregory, went the extra mile taking us downtown one evening even though he was supposedly off duty. We enjoyed meeting everyone in our small group and developed friendships with many. The hotels are excellent. The food was superb. We couldn't have a better tour! This isn't our first tour with Gate1 and it won't be our last. Gate 1 has continually surprised us on every trip we have taken so far. Looking forward to our next in November and April next year. Thank you again for another memorable experience.
Lam-Anh G.In a word, AMAZING. Our hikes, the islands, meals, special tastings and the guides were incredible!
Mary H.Gate 1 travel guides are the best in the business. Although all the guides are good, I have my favorites: Ivan and Jaecko on the Croatian Walking Tour. Ivan & Jaecko were phenomenal hiking us up and down small mountains in Croatia, carrying our lunches and sometimes our gear, smiling at us, always. They helped me and my companion in every way in which we needed help, from lost chargers to getting to the ferries on time. These two were the utmost professionals: knowledgeable, helpful, personable, and charming. If you want to see Ivan smiling at you, watch the Croation Islands Walking Tour video.
Claire B.Very nice!
