Galapagos & Machu Picchu
Truly a trip of a lifetime. Everything was planned perfectly by Amanda from being picked up at the airport to be dropped off at the airport. All the tour were knowledgeable and friendly.

EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE
I am a travel agent with more than 34 years of experience. I must admit I have never booked Patagonia. I was lucky enough to deal with Osvaldo Gonzalez. Ozzie was exceptional with his knowledge of Patagonia. It was a complicated itinerary since many of the lodges were sold out. He kept in contact with me and my client (who happened to be on a trip to Switzerland when booking this trip). He communicated with us both (even with the time change) and put an amazing itinerary together. He was in constant contact with his agents in Chile and it was incredibly challenging since it was a holiday. He consistently worked on this until the client was satisfied and once the itinerary came together client deposited the trip immediately. I hope I get to work with him again.

This was the most memorable trip we’ve…
This was the most memorable trip we’ve ever had. Our tour guides @ Rio and Salvador were extremely professional, always punctual and willing to cater to our unique tastes. We didn’t have to break a bank to enjoy being treated like royalty. Goway Travel is putting together our next trip to Portugal in December.

Ghana is a Go! Loved everything
I am writing to let you know that my clients returned from their journey and gave glowing reports about the accommodations, tours, and staff. They particularly liked Vivian, their tour guide. Not only was she thoroughly knowledgeable and astute, she was a genuinely great human being, and between her and their excellent driver, made their first time visit one of their best trips.

Taryn customized our trip with our…Japan Adventure
Taryn customized our trip with our budget and priorities in mind. There were highs and lows as with every adventure but she took the time before the trip to make sure we were as prepared as possible. Highly recommend,
Colin Boyle
