All your staff were just amazing
All your staff were just amazing. Brooke was very knowledgeable. Answered all my questions without hesitation. Adel did everything possible to get us to the hotel. He was really great guy to know in Egypt. Very helpful. Sahra was our first first guide. Just amazing lady. Rami was fantastic during our excursions. Very friendly and unbelievably smart. I found him a man who loved his job. And it showed when he took us around. The best rating for every one involved who did their job very well.

South America trip with Goway
We used Goway for a short trip to South America. It was arranged easily and the details of the trip went well for our family of three. For simple trips we usually book things ourselves and are fine doing that in North America and Europe. When we have gone further, the value in a travel agency is in linking and arranging keys details in a trustworthy manner. In this trip we had a guide in each of two South American locations that were arranged by Goway. This went well and having this set up in advance gave peace of mind during the trip. Choosing the itinerary and hotels was also helped by the suggested items from Goway. We trust with our experience that we'll have a good outcome on trips such as this. The two private guides were helpful and nice to connect with.

South Africa Group Trip
I recently partnered with Goway to plan a luxury group trip to South Africa, and they delivered an incredible experience from start to finish. The itinerary was thoughtfully crafted, well-paced, and filled with meaningful excursions—my clients especially loved the Soweto tour, safaris, and wine country. Their guide Brenda was a standout—warm, professional, and unforgettable. The prearranged meals, comfortable transportation, and hand-picked accommodations made travel smooth and enjoyable for all. Goway was a reliable and attentive partner throughout the planning process, and I look forward to working with them again for future group adventures! Special shoutout to Frank & Tanya for being gems all throughout the planning process and handling the changes along the way, they truly made me look like a rockstar to my clients.

Small Groups
This was VERY nice to be in a SMALL group and not always with the same people – it gave us a chance to meet many new faces and I liked it VERY much.
