Trip to Peru
I connected with Goway Travel (my first time) to plan my recent visit to Peru for 10 days. Amanda DeOliveira, was my destination specialist and I can only call her "Amazing Amanda". Since my first call with her, she provided me regular guidance in planning the itinerary and choosing the activities. I realized her planning and understanding of my needs when I went on this adventure and thoroughly enjoyed it. The entire trip was well structured and I never felt rushed to enjoy every day during this trip. I had a couple of specific requirements and they were catered to. I will be remiss if I do not mention the local support at Condor Travel in Peru. Goway Travel made my experience extraordinary and I will connect with them for my future tours. They are a definite recommend for travellers who like to explore the world without any worry.

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.

I've worked with Goway Travel as a…Travel Advisor
I've worked with Goway Travel as a Travel Advisor for several years now and they always deliver on their vacation packages. I've sent families/social groups to Italy, Portugal, Dubai, Tanzania and recently Bali and all of the trips have been AMAZING! From beginning to end, they are very detailed in explaining everything to you for your clients and NEVER fail in fully executing the vacation plans as planned. They are my go to for excellent luxury service abroad. I highly recommend their services!

3rd time a charm
This is the 3rd occasion using Goway to arrange our trips. Due to the remote location (Antarctica) it required booking almost 18 months in advance. Virginia our agent never left us without contact for long periods of time and arranged everything on our behalf. She followed up, reconfirmed, double checked and made certain everything was in place. Virginia was genuinely excited with our plans and even contacted prior to departure to wish us a great trip. Well done Goway!
