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. There's a treasure trove of fun waiting beneath the waves, perfect for children and adults alike.

It is with the utmost pleasure and heartfelt appreciation that I share my exceptional experience working with Taha Colombowala, Goway's distinguished Groups Specialist. Our journey together began in October 2023, when Taha took the helm in orchestrating what was to be a remarkable group trip to Ghana. When unforeseen circumstances necessitated a change in plans, Taha demonstrated his extraordinary expertise by recommending Morocco as an alternative destination — a suggestion that proved to be nothing short of absolutely brilliant! From the very first interaction to the final farewell, Taha has been a consummate professional in every sense of the word. His lightning-fast response times, encyclopedic knowledge of destinations, and remarkable ability to pivot seamlessly under pressure are truly second to none. What sets Taha apart, however, is not only his professional acumen but also his warm, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic attitude toward accommodating the unique needs and personalities of every member of our group. Taha Colombowala is, without question, a shining star within the Goway family, and an extraordinary ambassador for everything the brand represents. I cannot recommend him highly enough — he has exceeded every expectation and then some. Working with Taha has been an absolute privilege, and I look forward to many more incredible adventures ahead!DESIREE DUCKETT

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne

After spending some time with our agent, we felt that she understood exactly what we had in mind as far as the level of service, etc, we were hoping for. The trip exceeded our expectations. Lori kept us busy(not too busy!) and we had many, many very exciting experiences. Bruce Belshaw

Aylin is an exceptionally proficient advisor. Coordinating my clients simultaneously often feels like herding cats, but she has remained patient and accommodating through every modification and delay. Goway continues to be my go-to for complex itineraries, and they never disappoint.Nick Cron, ACC

My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 weeks in New Zealand! The country is so beautiful and the people so friendly. Our destination specialist did a great job with planning and organizing the itinerary, choosing our hotels, and organizing transportation. The hotels were absolutely beautiful and we had great views. We felt right at home and found all of the staff to be friendly and accommodating. There were no issues with our itinerary and our excursions we were always on the list. Our transportation was always ready and waiting for us. We want to thank Goway Travel for their hard work and patience with us in planning this trip. Any changes that needed to be made were communicated timely. We also want to thank you for the beautiful weather during the entire 2 weeks it was perfect every day 😀. It was a memorable trip that we will never forget and we will think of Goway when we plan our next adventure. Because it was not just a vacation; it was an adventure!Connie Wenhardt

Brigitta Fuller is Amazing! She was my group coordinator. She understood the assignment and all the nuances I was trying to achieve. The itinerary she curated was fantastic. If you want someone who truly cares about her group and what they are trying to achieve. I will always reach out to Brigitta first for Europe groups. Kathryn Walker
