What travelers are saying

"I've been on 11 EFUB trips and I have to say that Morocco was one of the absolute best trips I have ever been on. Morocco is such a beautiful and diverse country with an even more beautiful and rich culture. Our tour director Rabie made the trip everything it was. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt accommodated for, comfortable, and safe. He was one of the most attentive TDs I've ever had and is so extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sharing his country and culture with us. If you get Rabie for your TD, you would be the absolute luckiest. The fact that our group size was one of the smallest I've ever had was also the best. We all became close so quickly and since there is a great mix of down time on this trip, we had so much time to relax and just get to know one another. There are a few long travel days in the middle of the trip on the bus, but are necessary to get from place to place and without them, we never would have saw such amazing places like the High Atlas Mountains, the gorges, and other landscapes. The rest of our days were jammed packed and even included extra activities like a hot air balloon ride over the desert! The optional cooking class was so worth the add-on. It was at the most beautiful resort in the middle of the desert and the tagine we cooked was delicious. I cannot recommend this trip enough - it truly exceeded all expectations and I know I will be back again."

What travelers are saying

"My wife, her two sisters and I took a 14 day tour of France with Gate 1 on May 8, 2024. Our guide, Jordane, started the tour with a speech about health and safety and how sick people must wear masks and sit in the back of the bus. Anyone who tested positive for covid would have to leave the tour. Two people in our group, Judy and Katy started the tour visibly sick. Jordane did nothing despite what he said in his speech. Within a few days most people were sick. I caught a cold around day 8. On day 9, Jordan asked me to wear a mask. I wore a mask. On day 10, Jordane asked me to move to the back of the bus. I moved to the back of the bus. On day 11, Jordan called my room and told me that I was off the tour due to my cold and that I would have to find my own way home. Several passengers were obviously sick but Jordane did not remove them. He never asked me to get a covid test. He just kicked me off the bus somewhere in France with no help to get home. I immediately called the Gate 1 24 hour emergency assistance line. The line was answered with a recording, “We’re sorry, we are closed right now please call back during business hours.” Before you book with Gate 1, call this number on a weekend night and you’ll get the recording. Now if you are persistent or just desperate and wait on the line, eventually you will hear options. Wait through 8 options and the 9th is for help. I was transferred to a nice man in India who listened to my problem and then told me there was nothing he could do to help. I was dumped on the side of the road in France with no help. Who does this to someone? Gate 1 is the only one I know who would do this. I found Jordane and told him that I should be given the chance to take a covid test. Fortunately, a local Gate 1 guide joined our conversation. She thought this was a good idea and gave me directions to the nearest pharmacy and told me what to do to get tested. I tested negative for covid. I had a common cold, sniffles and cough. I showed the results of my test to everyone on the bus and Jordane. Jordane reluctantly allowed me back on the bus. That wasn’t the only issue we had with our guide. On our second night, my wife tripped and fell while crossing the street. My wife was unconscious and bleeding in the street. While my wife’s sister and I tended to my wife, her other sister called Jordane. He said he was busy and we should do whatever we wanted to. That was the last we heard from him. He never checked back to see how we were doing. The next time we saw him was in the morning when he asked if we would continue the tour. He never showed any concern. We were fortunate that two nurses saw the fall and helped us get my wife off the street and call the local version of 911. It was the help of strangers, not Gate 1 that took care of us. Gate 1 claims that Jordane called us several times to check on my wife. This is not true. Gate 1 claims that many people on the tour were tested for covid. Again, this is not true. We expected there would be support and help on our Gate 1 tour. We got nothing. We definitely didn’t expect to be dumped on the side of the road with no way home."

"A really difficult company to communicate with, slow to respond and not able to accept accountability for poor service. Used Tee Travel in Spain which was even worse. Not able to organize support or assistance and harassed me about luggage that wasn't mine. There were other walkers who appeared to have more support and assistance from their travel providers. Definitely avoid this company as overpriced and no actual service."

What travelers are saying

"We just got back from our trip 'Europe Jewel's with Expatexplore (EJ240524) with a tour guide Ken and a driver Jeff. The tour started on May 24 2024. The trip could have been very good if we had a different guide. Our guide Ken was a very cold, unfriendly person who didn't care about people, their requests or problems. One girl got lost during the excursion. We don't know what happened to her. Some people were abandoned, lost and returned to the group on their own... Ken even mentioned that 7 people were lost during one of his tours... It's just that this fact is very frightening. We have traveled with other tour companies and safety has never been an issue, but not in this tour with Expat and Ken. Another point worth mentioning: it was very cold on the bus, people were wearing hats. We and the other people in the group asked Ken several times to adjust the temperature to a comfortable temperature, but there was no action on his part. As a result, some people got sick. Many complained about the constant music on the bus. Everyone should understand that this tour is very eventful, with a lot of walking every day. People need to take a nap while sitting on the bus. With constant music, it is impossible to rest. Despite people's requests for a break from music, nothing has changed. We were told that the bus is the office of the driver and guide, they can listen to music anytime they want! They don't care, people don't want that music all the time! Some people didn't make it to the dinner they paid for because they got lost on the way... We believe that people like Ken cannot work as a group guide at all. This was our first experience with Expat and it was very disturbing and tense because of Ken's dismissive attitude towards the group members. We could have had a much better experience with expats if we had a different guide, but unfortunately we experienced the worst. After reading the reviews of other travelers with expats, we can see that this is a normal scenario from this company. ;( We recommend staying away from expats and traveling with other companies that prioritize travelers' comfort and safety! Save your money and nerves!"
