Unravelling History at the Pyramids of Giza

Your journey into the world of the pharaohs begins with the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza. Imagine the delight in your children's eyes as they face these ancient giants, a palpable connection to a time long past. Engage a local guide to enrich your trip with tales of burial rituals and the architectural genius of ancient Egyptians. A camel ride around these colossal structures is a family favourite, providing a unique perspective and a touch of adventure.

The Vibrant Heart of Cairo

No family vacation to Egypt is complete without exploring Cairo, an energetic city humming with life. Wander through the bustling Khan el-Khalili Bazaar where the aromas of exotic spices whisper stories of traders from bygone eras. Make sure to treat your family to a traditional Egyptian meal at a local eatery, enhanced by the warm hospitality and authentic flavours—such as kushari, a hearty dish beloved by locals.

An Immersive Dive into Egyptian Culture and Art

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo welcomes families into the world of Tutankhamun and other storied figures. The museum's extensive collection of artefacts will inspire young imaginations, providing tangible links to the fascinating narratives of ancient Egypt. Meanwhile, your family can engage in interactive workshops that let everyone try their hand at traditional crafts, bringing history to life in a fun and educational way.

Sailing the Serene Nile River

Embark on a felucca, a traditional sailing boat, for a unique glimpse of Egypt's landscape along the Nile. This peaceful journey offers a gentle escape from the city's hustle and bustle and is an unforgettable family bonding experience. Along the way, make stops to explore villages where timeless traditions are still very much alive, offering your family a firsthand view into local life.

Adventures in Luxor and Aswan

Emailing Luxor and Aswan as part of your trip to Egypt introduces your family to the grand legacy of the New Kingdom. Wander through the expansive Temple of Karnak, imagining the vibrant ceremonies that once took place in its shadowy halls. In Aswan, marvel at the majestic beauty of the temples of Abu Simbel, where history is etched into every stone. For a truly magical experience, catch the light and sound show that breathes life into these historical sites under the night sky.

Relaxation and Exploration on the Red Sea Coast

For families who enjoy a mix of relaxation and adventure, Egypt's Red Sea coast is unparalleled. The serene beaches of Sharm El-Sheikh provide a perfect backdrop for unwinding, while the crystal-clear waters are a playground for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts eager to discover vibrant coral reefs and marine life.

Be prepared for a modest society. Both men and women generally cover their shoulders and knees, and visitors should do the same out of respect.

I cannot sing Erin’s praises enough! She planned an action-packed two-week New Zealand itinerary that hit every single stop on our bucket list. Every experience was truly first-class and luxurious. While I found myself being price-conscious initially, once I saw the incredible quality of the experiences she curated, I knew it was going to be the trip of a lifetime. A huge thank you to Erin and Go Way Travel for making my 50th birthday so epic. We’ll definitely be reaching out for our next big adventure!Michelle

This was my second time working with Taha Colombowala, Group Specialist. Our journey to Ghana was top notch! 🇬🇭 The accommodations, curated tours, and coordination with the team on the ground made the this trip quite amazing. Taha was very supportive throughout the entire process. Goway makes me look like a superstar with my clients!! I am already planning new itineraries. Denise Watkins

I booked this trip to Adelaide with Goway, after using them before when we explored the 'big' sites of Australia. This time, we went to Adelaide to go to three of the top wine growing areas for wine tastings. We were a small group of 4 people. It was made better as the vendor used Small Batch Wine Tours for all of our excursions. They were fantastic making us the only travelers on these tours. Matthew, the owner, even adjusted our wineries on the last day to go to different place. This place totally marked off everything we were looking for in wine. Ended up buying a couple of bottles. Between Goway setting it up and Small Batch Wine Tours running the actual tours we had a beautiful and seamless trip. not applicable

Land Package booked was for Bora Bora. The Goway Agent priced out 3 different resorts in the same area. Before making a final decision, she even obtained the menus at the Resort so the clients could decide if they wanted to purchase the 1/2 board meal package. With extreme patience, the agent obtained answers to all of our questions. It was so nice to have this package inclusive of all taxes and resort fees and to have a local agent meet the clients upon their arrival in PPT. EMD

I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Shalini. From the very first conversation, she was warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in helping me plan the perfect trip. she took the time to understand what I was looking for, offered thoughtful suggestions, and shared incredibly helpful insights that only someone with deep knowledge and passion for travel could provide. What really stood out was how easy she made everything feel. Every question I had—big or small—was answered with patience and clarity. her recommendations were spot‑on, and I never felt rushed or pressured. Instead, I felt supported, informed, and excited about my plans. If you’re looking for someone who is friendly, attentive, and truly committed to creating a great travel experience, I can’t recommend Shalini highly enough. She turned what could have been a stressful process into something enjoyable and inspiring.enzo r reda

I would like to recognize the outstanding support provided by the Goway Travel team, and especially Yael, during a very challenging situation involving my customers who were stranded in Dubai. From the moment the issue arose, Yael and the team were incredibly supportive, working through multiple options to secure flights and ensure my customers could return home safely. Their persistence, professionalism, and willingness to explore every possible solution made a stressful situation much easier to manage. Throughout the process, communication was clear, timely, and reassuring. It was evident that the team was fully committed to the well-being of the traveler and to resolving the situation as quickly as possible. I truly appreciate the dedication shown by Yael and the Goway Travel team. Their actions reflect a strong commitment to customer care and partnership, and I’m very grateful for the support they provided in getting my customer home safely. Thank you Goway.

Our trip to Asia was fantastic! From the beginning of registration, working with Ameet Duggal, to the actual trip, the service Goway provided was outstanding! Ameet was great to work with. He was kind, professional and answered all my questions whenever they arose. Our guides in all four locations (Hong Kong, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Siem Reap) were all exceptional. All were very well informed, spoke English very well, had a great sense of humor, were always on time, and paid attention to all the details so as to make our trip absolutely problem free and enjoyable. We were picked up at all locations at the airport, and returned there, in a punctual manner. The drivers were great, especially Bros in Siem Reap. All had lots of water for us because is was pretty hot everywhere we went. Food was wonderful and all the sites we visited were interesting and beautiful. I was especially impressed with how our guides knew how and when to navigate certain sites to avoid large crowds. They situated our visits so we would avoid the intense heat. All in all, I would definitely consider doing another independent tour with Goway. I would also recommend your services to anyone who wished to travel abroad, especially to Asia! Jamie Ferbezar

I had the pleasure of working with Erin. It was my first time booking something in Europe and let me tell you Erin made everything easy and very simple for us to follow. She booked everything for us from our plane tickets private transfers and all of our tours that we did in Ireland. She nailed it. I would definitely recommend booking with GoAway travel and if you have Erin as your travel agent she make sure everything is covered. 10 out of 10. Ness Hedge
