Goway Combines China & India in an Amazing Offer

Goway Travel is well known for their traditional Asia itineraries to the iconic sights in China and India. However, the tour operator is now offering a tempting Beijing and Delhi Getaway package.

“China and India are two of the most popular Asian destinations so we have created a combination package that travellers can purchase ‘as-is’ or create added itinerary options and extensions, “ says Goway’s Product and Marketing Manager for Asia, Doug Vogl. “The price will be sure to attract many Globetrotters; air, transfers, touring and some meals are all included making this an irresistible offer.”

Goway’s 8 Day Beijing and Delhi Combo Getaway tour starts at $1879CAD and starts in Beijing for a 4 day stay with two full days of touring including Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, The Great Wall and many more iconic sites.

Return airfare on China Airlines is included from Vancouver and includes the Beijing to Delhi flight as well.

Travellers are encouraged to extend their stay in China and India. Side trips to Agra and Jaipur can be added for as low as $279CAD per person for 3 days.

Goway Offers Something Different

Under the banner HOLIDAYS OF A LIFETIME®, Goway offers unique and distinguished small group touring experiences.

“There are tours in the marketplace which offer, as we do, first class accommodation, viewing the highlights of the destination, tour escorts etc”, says Robert Glazier, Product Manager, Holidays of a Lifetime, “but we give travellers an experience that they will always remember with something totally different”.

Included in all tours are unusual and unique features carefully planned to fulfill Goway’s “Promise of Something Special” such as Goway’s FUN THEMES. These are undertaken by the Tour Director and are based on interesting subjects associated with the destination being visited. Examples are:

  • The Wine Industry in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile and Argentina.
  • Animal and Plant Life in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Ecuador.
  • Lifestyles and Culture, History and Geography in all destinations.

Goway also features special unique events and meals, including:

  • Take a camel to breakfast (Alice Springs, Australia)
  • Private cooking lessons with a renowned local chef (Hoi An, Vietnam)
  • Private train ride alongside Victoria Falls while enjoying cocktails
  • Dinner at a Bedouin Camp “under the stars” (Jordan)
  • Dine on the rim of a volcano in Ecuador
  • Meet a local family and have tea in Mumbai, India

A quality Travel Companion book is also provided as soon as a passenger reserves their place. The comprehensive book includes specific tourist information on the country/countries together with practical travel information (what to wear, weather, health, shopping tips etc) plus suggested reading matter, local recipes and insights into famous people. The book also features a daily diary for passengers to keep notes in as they travel.

All tipping is included so that passengers do not have to worry about this aspect of their trip (exception is the Tour Director).

Twin share guarantee is a great way for single passengers to save money. If Goway can’t match a person up with a compatible travelling companion, then a single room is provided without supplement.

Goway’s group sizes are always small and personable. 20 passengers is the maximum on any given departure (the South Pacific departures are an exception at 30).

This year is Goway’s 40th Anniversary. To celebrate, all 2010 departures include a special dinner and party with champagne or wine included.
