General Information

Booking Conditions

Deposit

Guaranteed deposit is required at time of booking. Standard deposit is $300 per person for all destinations, except for Africa, which is $500 per person, unless otherwise indicated.

There may be certain tours and arrangements which will require a higher deposit. The exact amount will be advised at the time of booking. In addition to the deposit, we require full payment for Airfares in order to issue airline tickets and guarantee the fare. It is recommended that we receive confirmation on land prior to issuing airline tickets.

Travel Insurance, which is strongly recommended, should be purchased at time of deposit.

Once deposits are received, Goway’s full booking conditions and cancellation penalties apply; see below.

Balance of Payment

Guaranteed balance of payment is required sixty (60) days prior to departure.

If the balance is not paid by the stipulated date, the right is reserved to cancel the booking(s) without further notice and without refund of deposit.

Cancellations

Cancellations received prior to final payment will incur loss of non-refundable deposit.

After the final balance is paid, the following cancellation schedule will apply:


Destination & Cancellation Penalties

Africa, Middle East

Cancellation:
0-59 days before departure: 100% cancellation fees

Cancellation:
0-30 days before departure: 100% cancellations
31-44 days before departure: 50% cancellation fees
45-60 days before departure: 25% cancellation fees

Airlines & other specific suppliers may charge cancellation penalties in addition to cancellation and amendment fees charged by Goway. There will be no refund for unused land arrangements. All cancellations are required in writing.

Insurance

We encourage all passengers to take out insurance coverage to protect themselves against cancellation due to illness prior to or during travel, or for unforeseen delays. In the event of a traveller becoming ill during a tour, all hospital and medical expenses are the traveller’s responsibility and they shall not be entitled to any refund, either total or partial, of passage money paid; Goway’s cancellation fees as stated will apply. Check with your travel agent as to what conditions and charges apply if you cancel your flight and/or land reservations.

Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any claims, losses, damages, costs, expenses, delays or loss of enjoyment, of any nature or kind whatsoever, resulting from events beyond our or a supplier’s reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts or other labour disputes or disruptions, wars, blockades, insurrections, riots, earthquakes, weather conditions, floods or acts or restraints imposed by government authorities.

Travel Documents

Travel documents and tickets, joining and departure details, supplier addresses and phone contacts will be sent within 2 weeks of receipt of final payment.

Passport / Visas

A passport, valid for six months beyond date of travel, is required for entry into all countries. Entry Visas may be required for certain countries. Please check with your agent at time of booking if visas are required for any country

you are visiting or transiting through. Travellers not using an American or Canadian passport, it is imperative that you

also check visa requirements for all of the destinations you will be travelling to or transiting through.

Entry to another country may be refused even if the required information and travel documents are complete.

Living Standards & Practices

These may differ from those in your country of Origin. The standards and conditions in other countries with respect to the provision of utilities, services and accommodation may also differ from those found in your country of origin.

Prices

Because of the volatility of exchange rates and dynamic pricing based on demand for many of the destinations Goway offers, we recommend you re-confirm our price at time of booking. All prices are subject to change or surcharge. Once we have received your deposit you will be given the opportunity to pay in full to avoid any price increase (in the rare case it occurs). If the total price of the travel services increases and the cumulative increase, except any change in government taxes and fees, is more than 7%, the customer has the right to cancel and obtain a full refund. No price increases will apply after the balance is paid in full, except for government charges, such as National Park fees, taxes, and any fees paid locally in destination, that may increase at any time. These are outside of the control of Goway or its suppliers, so must be paid by the customer, even if the booking has been paid in full.

Amendment Fees

Once a booking has been made, any change may be subject to an supplier communication charge of $25 per change. Once documents have been issued, any change will be subject to a minimum administration fee of $50 in addition to communications charges.

Booking Requirements

With all the great travel ideas we offer, it should be easy to choose a long vacation. We advise that our bookings do require a minimum of 3 nights’ accommodation, plus 2 other different services. If these minimums are not met, we will charge a booking fee of $50 per person. This is added to your invoice unless Goway issues your international air ticket.

Custom trip of a lifetime to Japan
My family of 5 adults booked a 3 week custom trip to Japan with GoWay for Oct 2025. We wanted a mix of activities, transportation and hotels that were booked for us through one point of contact, and some booked by us, as well as free days along the way. Not many agencies will do this for you but GoWay did. Harpreet Litt was our agent and she delivered with gold stars. This was a bucket trip of a lifetime for us and she did not disappoint. I am not joking when I say that absolutely nothing logistically went wrong. The private tours we had were a highlight with amazing guides. The bus tours were appropriate and of great value. Transport was easy and reliable and the rest of the time we enjoyed the public transportation and lots of walking of course! Everything we requested was delivered and at a fair price - this wasn’t a luxury vacation but it was comfortable where we needed it to be. I would not hesitate to use them again and I am recommending them to anyone who wants their vacation on their own terms and within their budget.

Bucket List Trip
Our Circle Newfoundland and Labrador small group tour was fabulous. Everything went so smoothly- no glitches whatsoever. Ruth Leonty was the Goway agent who dealt with us . She was great organizing transfers and extra nights both in Halifax and St. John's. Some of the days were long, but we saw so much and learned so much that we have no complaints. Every day was a new adventure. We loved the boat tours- saw whales, iceberg remnants and our favourite- the puffins. L'Anse aux Meadows and Gros Morne National Park were amazing and so interesting. Just driving across the province was a thrill as there would be a beautiful vista around nearly every corner. What a beautiful country we live in! Also had a wonderful driver and a very knowledgeable guide. We highly recommend Goway and this particular tour.

Quintessential Japan Premium
Quintessential Japan Premium Agent: Harpreet Litt Goway Travels. Asia Specialist We returned from the subject tour arranged by Harpreet on April 8, 2024 We had a great time there and the tour was more than what we expected. The arrangements made were excellent, hotel rooms were very nice and comfortable, food was excellent. The tour guides were courteous and helpful. The return flight connections were tight, but we made it on time. ANA was able to connect the files at Osaka and the luggages were tagged to Edmonton as arranged by Harpreet. We appreciate her services and will keep in touch for any future travels.

Tahiti, New Zealand, and Australia--a Dream Come True
I heartily endorse everything positive others have said about Goway Travel. We just returned from a lifetime bucket list trip to Tahiti, New Zealand, and Australia. Kimberly Brown was our travel specialist and our experience could not have been better, virtually perfect. Our hotels were convenient to our sights, timing and transfers were punctual, all city and excursion guides were exceptional and personable, and each day brought new joys. Exceeded our fondest hopes and dreams.
