Gate 1 does not have a good reputation. They have a great "bait-and-switch" game going on. I have had three people travel with them- all with disasterous results.

I've been looking into Egypt and have heard that a lot about Gate 1. Globus has taken me many places and i've always had a great time.

Heymo, that's very strange because I just returned from a wonderful Gate 1 tour of Israel. Maybe the bad rep is limited to Egypt?

The people I spoke to went on trips to China, Egypt and South America. Maybe it is only some of the trips...but that's three different areas of the world, so it makes you stop and wonder. I'd be happy to be wrong...their prices are always attractive.

Check out STI Travel (www.sti-travel.com) out of Hackensack, NJ. They work with Sakkara Group in Egypt and have excellent reputation and not a single compaint has been lodged against them with BBB. We are using them for Egypt and Jordan this May. Good luck!

My wife and I toured Egypt with OAT last November. We had a fantastic trip. Hotels, food, guides and sights were as advertised. One of the best trips we've ever taken.

Martin,

Nice to hear that you were happy with your OAT trip. Did you go to Alexandria or to Jordan?

martinlevine

Luisah, we didn't go to either place but those who took the Jordan pre-trip said it was terrific.
