Whether you are exploring forts in Rajasthan or sipping chai amidst the tea plantations of Darjeeling, trips to India promise an adventure for every family member.

Discover the Heritage of Rajasthan

Rajasthan, the 'Land of Kings', is a must-visit during your India family vacations. Journey through its historic palaces and forts, each narrating tales of heroism and regal splendour. Families can explore the Amber Fort in Jaipur or enjoy a tranquillizing boat ride on Lake Pichola in Udaipur. Children will adore riding camels in the Thar Desert, immersing themselves in the mesmerizing rhythm of the desert lifestyle.

Experience the Serenity of Kerala

For families seeking a more serene escape, Kerala offers lush landscapes and calm, inviting backwaters. Known as 'God’s Own Country', it provides a rich mix of culture, nature, and relaxation. Cruise through its network of tranquil backwaters on a traditional kettuvallam (houseboat), savour the piquant flavours of a Keralan meal, and relax on some of India’s most beautiful beaches. Visit Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, where kids can delight in spotting elephants and other wildlife amidst verdant surroundings.

Unwind in the Goan Sun

Famed for its beaches, Goa is perfect for family vacations to India. Its golden sands and vibrant culture create an exciting playground for all ages. Engage in water sports, explore colonial architecture, or simply unwind by the Arabian Sea as the sun sets in a riot of colours.

Adventure Awaits in the Himalayas

The Himalayan region offers family adventures filled with picturesque trails and stunning vistas. During trips to India, families can engage in gentle treks through the lush valleys of Himachal Pradesh or enjoy thrilling activities like paragliding over the scenic landscape of Manali. For a winter wonderland experience, Shimla's toy train ride affords breathtaking views around every bend.

Taste the Flavours of India

India's cuisine is as diverse as its culture, offering an array of flavours that are bound to captivate the taste buds of every family member. From the rich, buttery dishes of the north to the spicy and aromatic dishes of the south, food plays a crucial role in the cultural tapestry of India. Don't miss out on teaching the kids to make traditional roti or sampling street foods like pani puri and dosa from bustling markets.

Immerse in Culture and Traditions

Indian culture celebrates diversity through its festivals, music, and dance. During India family vacations, participate in a local festival like Diwali, the festival of lights, or Holi, a riot of colours. Experience the rhythmic beats of Kathakali in Kerala or the intricate patterns of Rajasthani folk dance. These cultural immersions provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of India's rich heritage.

Comprehensive Travel Tips

India offers plenty of family-friendly accommodations, from heritage hotels to luxurious resorts. Prioritize safety when trying street food, and always carry bottled water.

What I love most about visiting India is how alive everything feels. The colours, the food, the people. Every place has its own vibe and story. One moment you’re in a quiet temple, the next you’re in a bustling street market. It’s chaotic in the best way

Touching base after our trip. As usual you did a great job helping plan and execute an amazing travel experience!! Everything was fantastic. Especially our hotel location. Since it's connected to the Victoria station it made getting around very easy. Thanks again for your help I'm sure we'll be booking our next trip soon...Leigh Ferris

We recently completed a trip to Crete, Greece - our third trip with GoWay - and I have run out of superlatives to laud their efforts. This was a self drive trip, and as has been our experience with GoWay, we were permitted to customize the standard offered itinerary to suit our personal preferences. Brooke, our agent on this trip, went the extra mile to make all the adjustments we requested, including providing for an English-speaking guide at the Phaistos archeological site. The hotels which Brooke booked on our behalf were truly excellent, and - again, per our wish - just outside of the urban chaos of Heraklion, Rethymno and Chania, but close enough to readily access the cities' benefits. Each hotel was a beachside sanctuary, and we spent several serene, idyllic days never leaving the hotel, and yet there was plenty of time for more distant and adventurous sight seeing. I cannot overstate how happy we have been with our GoWay experiences - most notably in their willingness to listen to our preferences and make those manifest in the itinerary - and this most recent trip just confirms our already positive opinion of GoWay, and we will be certain to consider them again for our next travel adventure.Frank Venuti

Venessa Lloyd at GoWay organized a trip to Africa for us- We just returned last week. It was very well organized and included everything we requested, and more. We did two safaris - one in Tanzania and one in South Africa. They were both excellent, with first class accommodations and guides. We absolutely would recommend GoWay and Vanessa to anyone. Sandra

Overall, the hotel and tours were amazing. We had issues with communicating with the driver. At times I was asked where, I was gone. The local company handled the situation and there were minor issues after. I would recommend a local English-speaking guide every day. My clients loved the trip. The area we stayed in had many restaurants and local markets nearby. I recommend the cooking class, flamenco dance show, wine tasting and taps tour, and the city tour. Jolynn Tizeno

Ani M was absolutely amazing to work with! I actually chose Goway for our group trip because of her recommendations. She was the only agent who took the time to explain that we really needed to split our travels into two separate trips if we wanted to experience everything on our wish list, and I really appreciated her honesty and guidance. Throughout the planning process, Ani was incredibly helpful and answered ALL of my questions, even when I asked the same ones more than once! She was patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. I enjoyed working with her and her team so much that I already have another group trip planned with her, and I expect we'll be planning another one soon! The guides during our Scotland trip were wonderful as well. Ian Short was the BEST! He was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure everything ran smoothly so we could simply enjoy the experience. He even worked in sightseeing stops we didn't know we needed to see, and those little extras made the trip even better. The entire experience was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. I'm already looking forward to our next adventure to Ireland with Goway and working with Ani and their team again!Angela Butler

We recently traveled to Portugal and had the most wonderful experience. As our first venture overseas, we decided to search online for travel assistance. We happened across Goway Travel and are so glad we did! Michael Keon, our Destination Specialist, is extremely proficient and knowledgeable in his profession. "Thorough" is an understatement. He assisted every step of the way from the moment we stepped on our flights, transfer arrangements, hotel accommodations, train travel and multiple tours/outings tailored to our specific needs/wish list. He provided unparalleled guidance and support during the planning process and was always available to discuss any questions/concerns. His communications were always prompt and concise. Without a doubt, our best trip to date...there will be no hesitation to contact Mr. Keon for future travels. Joanna Lynn Mays Michael Andrew Mays Joanna Mays

What made this experience great was Cedric Wai. Had a client going to Asia and this is Cedric's wheelhouse since he is from there. Everything was wonderful. Everything went smoothly. The individual tours were wonderful and all the guides were exceptional. A lot of traveling-the flight was very good on Cathay Pacific would highly recommend their airline seats were comfortable and spaced well. Being on an airplane for 16 hours sucks in general, but other than being a little sore from being stuck in one place all was good. Thank you so much for all your help and the trip was wonderful and everything that it should be! Next trip will be much more relaxing, sitting still for a while on a beach somewhere ha ha!Careen Sullivan

Andrea Paredes helped me plan a last minute Colombia trip for my clients who had never been! They loved every minute of it. The hotels, history, excursions, and flights went very smooth. They were so happy with all their tour guides. Deanna Frisbie Borrego
