Unveiling Egypt's Historical Splendour

Imagine wandering the grand corridors of history with Egypt private tours designed to echo the stories of pharaohs and forgotten dynasties. Begin your escapade at the Giza Plateau, home to the illustrious Great Pyramids, where enigmatic sphinxes stand as ancient sentinels overlooking the desert. These private Egypt trips allow you the privilege of connecting with history in an utterly personal manner, guided by experts who bring the tales of the past to vivid life.

Travel further to Luxor, the open-air museum that offers a magnificent glimpse into Egypt's storied past. Discover the colossal Karnak Temple, a sprawling complex adorned with awe-inspiring hieroglyphics, or the hauntingly beautiful Valley of the Kings – the final resting place of Tutankhamun. With private tours, the historical narratives resonate more profoundly, unshackled from the usual throngs of tourists.

A Tapestry of Culture and Traditions

Beyond its historical footprint, Egypt pulsates with a cultural vibrancy that leaves an indelible impression on the heart. No visit is complete without diving into its lively markets, from Cairo’s bustling Khan el-Khalili bazaar to Aswan’s colourful spice markets. Each stall is a microcosm of Egyptian life, offering everything from intricate handicrafts to aromatic spices.

Private Egypt trips provide the ideal platform for engaging directly with local artisans, tasting the rich flavours of Egyptian cuisine, and uncovering the rhythmic dance of traditional music. Unlike larger tours, these curated experiences offer deeper insights and uninterrupted immersion into cultural wonders, allowing you to savour each moment fully.

Natural Beauty and Adventure Awaits

The natural landscape of Egypt is as diverse as its history, with unique offerings for every traveller. While the timeless Nile River cruises beckon with their gentle embrace – showing you Egypt from a unique vantage point – the golden sands of the Sahara call for those willing to venture into its vastness. With private tours, your itinerary is sculpted to match your adventurous spirit, whether it’s a serene sail along the river or a camel trek into the desert's heart.

At destinations like Sinai, thrill-seekers can indulge in scuba diving adventures beneath the crystalline waters of the Red Sea, exploring vibrant marine ecosystems. On land, Mount Sinai extends an invitation to hikers eager to retrace biblical footsteps amidst spectacular sunrises.

Culinary Delights: A Feast for the Senses

Egyptian cuisine is a journey of flavours that awaken the senses. Private tours of Egypt have the added advantage of introducing travellers to the culinary tradition in an intimate setting, with opportunities to enjoy home-cooked meals. Delight in savoury delicacies like koshari, an aromatic blend of rice, pasta, and lentils smothered in a spicy tomato sauce, or ful medames, a traditional fava bean dish richly seasoned with cumin and herbs.

A particular highlight is experiencing a dinner aboard a felucca on the Nile, watching the sunset paint the sky in hues of orange and purple. Here, the gastronomic heritage intertwines with storytelling, creating memories steeped in tradition.

Embrace Egypt with Private Tours

Choosing private Egypt trips not only guarantees a personalized itinerary but also transforms the experience from simply visiting to genuinely exploring. Whether you're drawn to the magnetic pull of ancient ruins, the vibrancy of local culture, or the tranquillity of Egypt's natural beauty, private tours offer unmatched flexibility and personal connection with one of the most enchanting destinations on Earth.

The promise of Egypt lies not only in its sandstones and pharaohs but also in the stories waiting to be unravelled. Rediscover this ancient land, and let its history, wilderness, and spirit leave an imprint on your soul.

We booked our 3,week tour of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and overall it was an excellent experience. I typically book my own travel, but travelling with a group and wanting tours in each destination made GoWay a great choice. We had great hotels and good guides in each city. I will say that our standout guide was Romeo Tran in Ho Chi Minh City. We spent a few days in the city, as well as an over night boat ride on the delta, and he was fantastic. We had alot of fun with him, and would highly recommend him in particular. Neil Braun

We booked a Viking cruise (Venice to Athens) through Goway Travel and it was fantastic! Our agent Kimberly was extremely helpful with air travel options, choosing excursions, and suggestions for pre and post cruise activities. Great communications and a really enjoyable experience.Stanley

We booked through Paula Williamson in the Toronto office, a Great Journeys New Zealand trip and it was fantastic! Although I had already scheduled a trip on The Ghan train in Australia, Paula helped me work it all as one huge 45 day trip including Bali Indonesia. My favorite was the New Zealand trip as I’d never been there before and the tour guide Toni was so spectacular and caring. I’m so pleased Goway was involved and I didn’t require any additional assistance once We'd started the first flight March 8. If we do another overseas trip, Goway will be involved.John

Michael Keon arranged our recent trip to Malta. I gave him a rough outline of what we were looking for and he responded quickly making great suggestions, offering alternatives as needed and booking everything. The hotel, excursions and transport he arranged were all exactly what we hoped for. We will be asking Michael to book our future European vacations. Mayssa Mirshak

Our first trip with Goway was a total joy. Shalini worked with me to plan a trip for 5 adults to Portugal. She is a gem! Always responded quickly and offered great suggestions for activities, worked with our preferences and created an ideal itinerary for a week in Porto and Lisbon. The tours were excellent with engaging local guides. The food tour in Lisbon was a highlight. Everything was top notch - flight schedule, hotels, activities, even the weather! Patricia

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

We recently completed a custom Vietnam tour organized by Goway, and it was everything we asked for and more. We would definitely choose Goway again. The true highlights of our trip, however, were our two guides: Vu Dang and Thien. They truly made our experience unforgettable. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind. Their pride in their Vietnamese heritage shone through in every conversation, making our learning experience both deep and engaging. We learned so much in such a short time, and it was always fascinating. I would highly recommend these two guides to anyone visiting Vietnam!Laura Derbyshire

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
