Our Gate1 cruise director Tanya is very professional and extremely helpful. She gave us detailed information about the excursions. Even during our extended stay in Moscow, we sought her assistance via WhatsApp and she responded promptly and kindly helped to arrange our transfer to the airport. A heartfelt thank you to Tanya. All in all it's a joyful experience to travel with Gate 1 and with Tanya.
