Exploring Panama City: A Modern Metropolis with a Historical Soul

Your journey could begin in the bustling yet charming Panama City. Picture yourself wandering the narrow cobblestone streets of Casco Viejo, the historic district that tells tales of Panama’s colonial past with its well-preserved, pastel-hued buildings. Here, the fusion of old-world charm and contemporary vibrance captivates every visitor. A walk along the Amador Causeway offers stunning views of the city skyline juxtaposed with the natural beauty of the Panama Bay.

The Panama Canal: Engineering Marvel

No trip is complete without witnessing the awe-inspiring Panama Canal. Marvel at this feat of engineering as massive ships pass through the locks, a reminder of human ingenuity that has connected worlds and facilitated global trade for over a century. Guided tours provide insight into the Canal's history and its impact on Panama and the world.

Natural Wonders: From Beaches to Rainforests

Venture beyond the city to discover Panama’s diverse ecosystems. The country’s idyllic beaches beckon sun-seekers and adventure enthusiasts alike. Bocas del Toro, an archipelago on the Caribbean side, is renowned for its clear waters and vibrant marine life, perfect for snorkeling and diving.

Boquete, nestled in the green highlands, offers a cool reprieve with its lush rainforests and coffee plantations. Hiking trails such as the Quetzal Trail lead through cloud forests teeming with exotic birds and flora, creating an opportunity for breathtaking photography and connection with nature.

Many assume Panama is just about the canal. In reality, it’s also a paradise for beaches, highlands, and indigenous culture — from Caribbean islands like the San Blas to the coffee region of Boquete.

We went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja Breiling

I can't tell you enough how much I love to work with Callie. She is a life saver and I love how attentive she is. Every time I give her an itinerary for a client- she really knocks it out of the park with the proposal. If there are any issues- she is on it right away. Her work ethic is outstanding.Michelle Labarca

We were trying to navigate Swiss Travel Center to book a 10 day train trip through Switzerland. It was exactly what we wanted but navigating their site was extremely difficult for us. Goway Travel picked up on our plight and put us in contact with Jacqueline Fagooli, one of their agents. From there on everything was so smooth. Their efficiency, communication, and thoroughness were beyond our expectations. The trip was fabulous and kudos to Jacqueline and Goway for their help in making it so.Carolyn McCormack

The destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years. If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek Travel
