Culture & Traditions
Discover Kazakhstan's rich blend of Nomadic traditions and Soviet influences.
Kazakhstan embraces Nomadic traditions. A yurt is a portable dwelling primarily used by locals in rural areas. Besides this, Nomadic hospitality is ingrained in their culture. When you enter the house of a Nomadic person, the person will treat you with great respect and generosity.
A trip to Kazakhstan is incomplete without trying the local traditional dresses. The men wear chapans, which is a gown with a belt. Along with this, they cover their heads with skullcaps. On the other hand, the women wear a white cotton or coloured silk dress with a velvet waistcoat and a skullcap. Try their traditional dresses and experience their culture firsthand.
Music is ingrained in Kazakhstan's culture. Kazakhs love the art of wordplay. In competitions, the poet improvises poetry accompanied by stringed musical instruments. When you are in Kazakhstan, make sure to pay a visit to these competitions to experience a unique side of their culture.
Along with Nomadic traditions, Kazakhs also embrace Soviet culture. Since it was part of the Soviet Union, Soviet influence is still prevalent in Kazakhstan's culture. Cities like Astana blend both modern and Soviet influences. To get a first-hand experience of Soviet architecture, visit Astana.

Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime!

Fantastic working with her.CTI have been booking with GoWay for more than 2 years and feel so fortunate to have the best Travel Advisor, Maria Spitman, making our vacations unforgettable. I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. DarleenGoway has been amazing to work with.

She took the time to know what I wanted and created an experience I will forever be grateful for having.Louise Helie MastersLori Mezzomo and the team at Goway Travel are fantastic! Lori helped plan a 3-week Australia trip for our family of 5. Our teenage boys enjoyed exploring Sydney, Uluru, Cairns and the Gold Coast. Highlights included a Sydney Harbour Bridge walk, sunrise hike around Uluru, snorkeling with turtles on the Great Barrier Reef, and surfing on the gold coast. Lori did a fantastic job of creating an itinerary that was engaging for our teenage boys and relaxing for the parents... not an easy task! We miss Australia and would gladly book again with Lori Mezzomo and Goway Travel.BlairSwati was fantastic!

The accommodations arranged exceeded our expectations. Local guides were all amazing. This was the third trip we booked through Goway, and we will definitely book with them again in the future David Picka
