What travelers are saying

"Onze reis naar Zuid-Afrika met Swiss via Zwitserland werd geannuleerd. We stonden met onze 6 kinderen in Brussel en hoorden dat het vliegtuig niet zou vertrekken. We proberen nu al vanaf september een claim in te dienen bij Swiss, maar krijgen van Gate1 niet het originele boekingsbewijs van Swiss. Iets wat Swiss wel eist voor we kunnen claimen. We worden van het kastje naar de muur gestuurd. Ook is Gate1 al maanden telefonisch niet bereikbaar. Dus mijn advies: niet boeken via Gate1."

"My daughter had a phenomenal time at the Ocean Odyssey Camp. She loved the sea turtle rehab, aquarium, surfing, and the nightly activities. This was her first overnight camp, but the staff was wonderful and she never missed home! Seeing the daily pics on FB also helped this first time camp mama survive the week. She absolutely adored Katie and Izzy. She is ready to call me back next year. Thank you for an awesome experience!"
