The Allure of Stunning Landscapes

From the snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps to the rolling vineyards of Marlborough, New Zealand’s landscapes are iconic. Travel the length of both the North and South Islands to witness stunning vistas ranging from lush rainforests to serene beaches. Consider exploring the Fiordland National Park for a glimpse of crashing waterfalls amidst towering cliffs.

Cultural Riches and Traditions

Delve into the rich tapestry of Maori culture that enriches the nation’s heritage. Participate in a traditional hangi feast or witness the powerful haka, a ceremonial dance that captures the spirit of Maori identity. In Rotorua, cultural villages provide insight into centuries-old customs and crafts. Meanwhile, the urban landscapes of Auckland and Wellington blend contemporary art and music, reflecting New Zealand’s dynamic cultural scene. A journey through these cities is incomplete without a visit to their bustling markets, where Maori artisans showcase their intricate carvings and weaving.

Outdoor Adventures at Your Fingertips

New Zealand is an adventurer’s dream. Whether you’re embarking on a leisurely hike on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing or seeking the thrill of bungy jumping in Queenstown, adrenaline-filled experiences are plentiful in this breathtaking country. Opt for a guided excursion through Abel Tasman National Park, where kayaking amidst secluded bays offers a tranquil immersion into nature’s splendor. For the ultimate rush, take a scenic flight over the magnificent Milford Sound for an aerial view of the country's natural wonders.

Explore Culinary Delights

A journey to New Zealand is incomplete without indulging in its culinary delights. Savour the taste of mouthwatering lamb dishes or fresh seafood, such as green-lipped mussels and crayfish. Vineyards across the North Island offer the perfect opportunity to sample world-renowned wines, including the distinctive Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough. You’ll find that the dining experiences in New Zealand are as diverse and vibrant as its landscapes.

The food in New Zealand is incredible, and New Zealanders are rightly proud of their paddock to plate cuisine. Almost everything is sustainably grown and processed, from lamb and seafood to vegetables and fruit.

This was the first time we had utilized Goway. We wanted a custom itinerary for a 3 week Italy, Athens and Greek Island adventure. Edwina Brislane was receptive to our goals for the trip, had helpful suggestions and reacted well to our requested revisions. Lisa Dachuk helped "tie a ribbon" on the trip and ensured we had considered all aspects of the experience. Lisa dealt quickly with a couple of requests while on the trip and celebrated a successful trip with us. We enjoyed working with both Edwina and Lisa. Their knowledge and enthusiasm contributed to our very memorable trip.Dan & Gail

I recently traveled to Greece with friends, and our entire experience was exceptional thanks to the planning support we received from Avery at GoWay. Every part of our itinerary was organized with care, accuracy, and great attention to detail. Our accommodations — Hera Hotel Athens and Sofitel Athens Airport — were comfortable, well‑located, and exactly what we needed. All airfares from Calgary and the multiple transfers (airport to city centre, city centre to Piraeus Port, and back again) were perfectly coordinated and made the trip completely stress‑free. The 7‑night Idyllic Aegean Cruise was a major highlight. It was beautifully arranged and gave us an unforgettable way to explore the islands. Our excursions were equally impressive: Skip‑the‑Line Acropolis & Acropolis Museum timed entry, which made sightseeing smooth and efficient Classical Greece: Olympia, Delphi & Meteora, a breathtaking and well‑paced journey through some of Greece’s most iconic historical sites Avery was consistently responsive, knowledgeable, and proactive throughout the planning process. Every confirmation, transfer, and timing detail was handled flawlessly, allowing us to simply enjoy the trip without worrying about logistics. I highly recommend GoWay Travel — and especially Avery — for anyone planning a trip to Greece. This was one of the best travel experiences I’ve had, thanks to their outstanding service and organization.Lorraine

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful 2 week trip to Chile, South America arranged for us by Goway Travel. Every detail of the trip was outstanding. The hotel choices were perfect for us as were the tours Goway arranged. All the guides were prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable. Our Destination Specialist, Karen Larrota, did an fantastic job setting up the itinerary. Communication with her during the booking process was excellent. The Goway customer service team reached out to us several times during the trip (as did Karen) which was very reassuring. We have traveled with Goway previously and will surely do so again.

An Extraordinary Tour Guide in Xi’an China Leo a blessing we will never forget There are some people who come into your life and leave footprints on your heart that will last forever, Leo was one of those people for us. My husband, Keith, and I dreamed of visiting China for more than 30 years and Leo helped make that dream an unforgettable blessing. He was more than a tour guide. He was a wonderful teacher, a caring soul, and a blessing from God. His knowledge of Chinese history and culture was remarkable from the terra-cotta warriors to the ANCIENT city wall, the Monastery, and the local art gallery, Leo brought every experience to life. He taught us so much and helped us appreciate the beauty and history of China in ways we will never forget. What touched me most was his compassion for my husband Keith, knowing Keith had difficult breathing and walking long distance and walking Leo thoughtfully arranged a wheelchair so he could enjoy the journey with everyone that kindness meant more to me than words can express Leo patience, professionalism kindness and genuine care for our group. May every moment special. He make sure we were comfortable learned something new and enjoyed authentic Chinese food and created memories we will cherish for a lifetime I truly believe God placed special people in our lives for a reason, and Leo was certainly one of those blessings for our group. We are forever grateful for the knowledge, laughter, compassion, and beautiful memorial. He gave us I recommend Leo wholeheartedly, to anyone visiting Xi’an China. You will leave with more than photograph you will leave, with knowledge appreciation, and memories that stay in your heart forever Leo may God continue to bless you, protect you, and guide you as you touch the lives of travelers from around the world. Thank you for being such a beautiful part of our China story. You will never be forgotten With love and gratitude Lisa & KeithLisa Paul

My wife and I have just returned from our 5th trip with Goway. Once again everything ran smoothly from first day to last. This trip was the 9 day all Ireland tour which covered both north & south Ireland. The tour was operated by Rabbies tours whom we used in Scotland and the 16 passenger van only had 6 passengers including us.Other than a couple of days the weather was prety good although the wind did get a bit wild. The pub food was delicious & i got a taste for real Guiness. We spent a few extra days in Dublin and found it very expensive, the excange rate didn't help. Our travel consultant Jaqueline personalised the trip and was very helpful. George Croome

Harpreet Litt provided us with a rich experience for our week. She offered good choices for local tour companies. We had a very good guide in Osaka. She is an Osaka resident with good English skills. She took extra pains to include opportunities we requested Osaka was a beautiful city at night. My photos of restaurants and street food were colorful and fun. Food was good too.Noel Chrisman
