Comments from a travel agent about her client's recent trip to Peru:

Comments to their travel agent about their recent trip to Italy:
"FAN FRIGGIN TASTIC!!!!!! We had an amazing time, beyond words really. Hotels were incredible, the food amazing, the excursions and staff were awesome...I would highly recommend our trip to anyone."
On their recent trip to Italy:
"We did a 28-day holiday in Italy from mid-September to mid-October with Gateways and I just want to let you know that it was a fabulous trip. We did provide input into what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go and then Gateways came up with an itinerary for us. We tweaked the schedule a couple of times, but were very happy with our plan before we left Canada. I wanted to thank you for organizing a trip that didn't have any glitches. Every hotel, transportation or tour that was booked occurred exactly as it should have. We were very happy with our guides, accommodations and train tickets/private rides. We had a great dinner/wine-tasting/creating your own wine outing at a vineyard in Tuscany on our 40th anniversary. We got to walk up the Leaning Tower of Pisa, take a gondola in Venice, float into the Blue Grotto and so much more. Really enjoyed the trip to the lemon farm/pizza-making excursion in the hills outside of Sorrento. And I'm very glad that we had someone picking us up at the train station in Venice and getting us on a private water taxi to get to our hotel and back to the train station because it eliminated the chance of wasting a couple of hours trying to get on the right ferry with all those people getting off the train at one time...this thank you would have come a couple of months ago, [our travel agent] just responded to my original email to give me your name and email."
Comments to their travel agent about their recent trip to Morocco:
"Happy Year to you! Loved Morocco. Our driver and local guides were all terrific. The hotels were top notch. The Riad in Fes was right out of a movie but cold in the common areas. Our room was toasty however we ate breakfast and dinner with our coats on as did other guests. We saw most of the major sights, mosques, medinas and Kashbas and had wonderful Moroccan food. Our driver and guides were very informed and we learned a lot about their culture, relationship with France and other Arabic countries. Their King is by all counts quite benign. Loved Rick’s Cafe! The ambiance was reminiscent of the era of the film and the food was very good."

We are now talking about our next trip."

The private tour guides we had were top notch, very knowledgeable, interesting and nice people; shout out to Elizabeth in Athens (Acropolis and Delphi tours), Poppy in Heraklion (Knossos Palace) and Sophia our food tour guide in Chania was superb. We had free champagne/ouzo and desserts at almost every restaurant….the benefits of celebrating our 50th anniversary! The breakfast buffets did not disappoint…The World Jet Catamarans are the perfect way to travel between islands. Weather was perfect…everyone was complaining about how hot August was….we had temps in the 70’s and low 80’s….rained only once….at night. All in all…this trip exceeded our high expectations! Many thanks Carol to you and your team for helping us celebrate a 50th anniversary we will never forget!"

They suggested where to eat, where to go etc. The people in Italy are so passionate about their country and are very proud of it. It came across in the services that they provided us and in how they all welcomed us and took care of us. We could never have done this trip on our own without the help of your services. We ran into so many people upon our travels that couldn't believe all the sights and places that we had been to in such a short time span. Thank you so much, we have so many great memories that we will cherish and so many beautiful pictures."

Lots of mistakes to be made and I LOVE the nice Gateways people that show up at our hotel to pick us up. I will use Gateway every time I go to Europe now – their service was stellar.

"Thank you very much, you did a great job!! I wanted to share her comments with you!!"
(We) were blown away by the beauty of Machu Picchu and the friendliness of everyone we met in Peru. The hotels you selected for us were outstanding! Beautiful properties, great food, amazing staff, etc. My only regret is that we didn’t have more time to enjoy even more of what they had to offer! Staying at The Belmond Sanctuary, literally steps away from the entrance to MP, was so special. Seth and I were having cocktails in the courtyard with its incredible view of the mountains and must have said “I can’t believe we’re here” about 100 times!
We had regrettably little time to spend on our trip and (Gateways) maximized every minute of it. They worked incredibly hard to make everything run smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. Thank you so much for putting all of this together! - Seth and Sara
On her client's recent custom itinerary in Peru:
"Mr. G. highly praised Gateway’s services at destination throughout the trip but especially the day before their return.

The birds are not in the least afraid, and just watched us walk by. Everything went well."

If you are planning a vacation to South America, you could not do better!"
On their custom tour of Italy:
"The trip was absolutely incredible! A trip of a lifetime!
Thanks so much for everything you did in getting us organized. We had no issues with any hotel, transfer, train etc...which made for a very stress-free trip. The hotel selections were really nice and fit exactly what we were looking for. It was nice knowing that we had a contact in Italy to call should anything come up, but there was no need for that. Everything went as planned without any hiccups!
Its hard to say what we liked best, but I think Crystal and I both probably favor Sorrento slightly. It was great being so close to the water the whole time and sunsets there were beautiful. The hotel had a great roof-top pool with an amazing view, and they were very helpful in booking a couple of boat tours we went on. I think staying in Tuscany was a pretty close second, though. Obviously it comes with much different scenery, but Villa il Poggiale was unbelievable. It was such an amazing place and the whole staff made us feel right at home during our 4 nights there. I know my parents would love to spend a few nights there the next time they visit Italy. Such amazing food and wine there too! We also managed to get amazing luck while in Venice, because we were visiting during the Redentore Festival. On our last night in Italy, they had a 40-minute fireworks display just off the Grand Canal...what a sendoff!
Thanks again for all your help in organizing the trip. We had such an amazing time! All the hotels, transfers, flights etc. were great, but all the little details along the way made it such an incredible experience. Now to save up for the next one!"
On her passenger's tour of Southern France:

She had great things to say about the accommodations."
On their tour of South America:
"We got back last week from our wonderful trip to Buenos Aires, the Amazon River on the Aqua Amazon and our Finch Bay week in the Galapagos and wish to thank you for making all the arrangements for us. Everything went very well and it was nice to be greeted by such knowledgeable people in each of our destinations. Not only did they provide the transportation that we needed and appreciated, but they were able to give us useful information on the places we were visiting. We would not hesitate to use Gateway International for future travel plans.
Again many thanks."
On their trip to Costa Rica:
"We have all arrived back to our routines. Our family of 12 had a great time. Your services everywhere, right from our late arrival in San Jose to our departure at Barcelo to go to the airport in Liberia were outstanding. Everyone was on time if not early and we got communication on one of the buses about about a change in pick up times. This was just super planning.
Every guide/driver was full of knowledge of the area and able to make us aware of various native wildlife and species of flora and fauna . Our family is into all that. Everyone accommodated all of us. I and my husband were unable to do a couple of things. That was not a problem, we were kept intrigued by everything around us. Each staff throughout all venues were professional and courteous. Drivers were exceptional. Even know the best places to stop.
Our accommodations were "awesome" as the grandkids said so there you have it . It was great . We will recommend Gateways for an awesome job.
Thank you!"
On their trip to Italy:
"The trip was excellent. Everything was smooth as silk and we were in good hands the entire time. Absolutely zero surprises. The tours really made the trip for me/us- we all learned a ton and we had some much needed downtime. The car rental was perfect sandwiched in between bigger city experiences. Our 9 years old favourite was Villa Loggio – probably Jeff’s too. I really loved Florence and the history. Would love to go back to Milan and shop ;))
It was all great. Kudos to you and your team- very professional and I’d highly recommend!!"

On their tailor-made itinerary of Argentina and Chile:
"We had a wonderful experience in terms of the staff in South America being on time to pick us up and drop us off. There were no delays and everything ran smoothly. Our stay at the winery in Chile was the highlight of our trip. The rooms were beautiful. The food was amazing and included wine pairings at lunch and dinner. The option to do a day trip was wonderful, this allowed us to try horseback riding and was the best part of the honeymoon. Overall we experienced 5 star service everywhere we went. We would highly recommend this trip!"
