Discover Guatemala's Majestic Landscapes

Embark on adventure vacation packages to Guatemala and find yourself surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. From the towering volcanic peaks that dot the horizon to the serene waters of Lake Atitlán, nature enthusiasts will be spellbound. Hike active volcanoes like Pacaya, where the thrill of a gentle ascent rewards you with the stark beauty of molten lava flows beneath a tranquil sunrise.

Cultural Richness that Inspires

More than just its natural allure, Guatemala captivates with a tapestry of cultural wonders. Delve into history at the ancient Mayan city of Tikal, where towering ruins whisper tales of a civilization long past. Saunter through Antígua, a charming colonial city brimming with colourful markets and ornate churches. Here, cobblestone streets invite you to explore hidden courtyards and local artisan shops, offering an authentic taste of Guatemala vacations.

An Indigenous Experience

The soul of Guatemala thrives in its Indigenous roots. Markets burst with vibrancy as locals don traditional garments, their fabrics woven with historical significance. Attend a Mayan ceremony to gain insight into customs revered for centuries, or navigate the lively markets of Chichicastenango on a Thursday or Sunday to witness the layers of tradition that make this country a cultural treasure trove.

Gastronomic Adventures

For the epicurious, Guatemala offers culinary delights waiting to be savoured. Taste a freshly prepared Pepián, a comforting stew perfect for recounting your day's adventures. Dive into street food, where Tostadas surprise with their simplicity, and Tamales, enveloped in banana leaves, deliver a hearty treat. Each dish tells a story—one that connects you to the Guatemalan way of life.

Adventure Through Nature

Guatemala sets the stage for adrenaline-pumping escapades. Whether rafting through the rushing Cahabón River or embarking on a jungle trek through the Sierra de las Minas, adventure awaits at every turn. Zipline through verdant canopies, taking in breathtaking views or explore the mystical caves of Candelaria, where a subterranean world reveals itself to the daring.

Refreshing Retreats

Winding down in nature’s embrace is as simple as choosing a hike through Semuc Champey, a natural monument of limestone pools shimmering in shades of turquoise. Meanwhile, the echoing call of Howler Monkeys across the Petén rainforest promises an invigorating blend of excitement and tranquillity.

Sustainable Travel in Guatemala

Conscious travellers will find joy in Guatemala's dedication to sustainable tourism. Many adventure vacation packages to Guatemala incorporate eco-friendly practices, ensuring that your travel leaves a positive impact.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.

What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.

Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.

I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.

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

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
