Discover the Charm of Dubrovnik

Begin your Croatian adventure in Dubrovnik, often referred to as the "Pearl of the Adriatic." Walk along the city’s iconic medieval walls, offering panoramic views of the shimmering coast and terracotta rooftops below. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Old Town of Dubrovnik is a maze of cobbled streets, each leading you to quaint cafes and historic landmarks. Don’t miss the chance to explore the Franciscan Monastery, which houses one of the world's oldest pharmacies, still in operation since the 14th century.

Kayaking in the Adriatic

For those who crave a bit of adventure, consider a kayaking tour around the city's fortress-lined shores. This immersive experience provides a unique perspective of Dubrovnik's majestic skyline and offers opportunities to discover secluded caves and hidden beaches. Such tours of Croatia enhance the beauty of this coastal nation from a different angle.

Explore the Natural Beauty of Plitvice Lakes National Park

No visit to Croatia is complete without venturing into the ethereal landscape of Plitvice Lakes National Park. This natural wonder features a series of cascading lakes and waterfalls set against a backdrop of lush forests. Well-maintained wooden footbridges wind through the park, providing scenic walking routes across turquoise waters. Opt for one of the best travel packages to Croatia that includes a guided tour of this park to learn about its diverse ecology and history.

Stunning Flora and Fauna

The park is home to a variety of animal species, including brown bears and rare birds, making it a paradise for nature enthusiasts. Visiting during different seasons offers a spectrum of colours, from the green hues of spring to the fiery autumn foliage, ensuring you witness the park's dynamic beauty.

Indulge in Istrian Gastronomy

Food lovers will find a haven in the Istrian Peninsula, renowned for its gourmet cuisine. Enjoy a culinary journey sampling local dishes, from fresh seafood risottos to truffle-infused delights. Wine tours offer tastings of Istria's acclaimed Malvasia and Teran wines, reflecting the region's unique terroir.

Truffle Hunting Adventures

Take your gastronomic experience further by joining a truffle hunting tour. Walk through serene oak forests with trained dogs, searching for these underground treasures. This hands-on activity not only enriches your palate but also deepens your appreciation for Croatia’s culinary heritage.

Sail the Dalmatian Islands

The Dalmatian coast is dotted with idyllic islands, each with its own character and charm. Set sail from the historic port of Split and explore the vibrant nightlife of Hvar or the tranquil beaches of Vis, often regarded as Croatia's most beautiful island. Sailing tours are among the best Croatia tours, offering intimate glimpses of secluded bays and coastal villages.

Cultural Festivities

Don't miss local festivals, like the annual Summer Festival in Hvar, where you can dance under the stars to live traditional music. Engaging in local festivities provides an authentic experience, giving insight into the region's vibrant culture.

Navigating the wonders of Croatia can be as laid-back or action-packed as you desire. From historic cities drenched in culture to serene natural landscapes, creating your personalized itinerary with the best travel packages to Croatia ensures an unforgettable escapade. Embrace the spirit of Croatia and embark on your next great travel adventure today!

One of the most memorable traditions travellers should experience in Croatia is the Sinjska Alka. Held every August in the town of Sinj, near Split, it’s a centuries-old knights’ tournament where horsemen in traditional uniforms gallop at full speed trying to spear a small iron ring (“alka”) with their lances

One common misconception travellers have about Croatia is that it’s only about Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian coast. Inland regions like Zagreb, Istria, and Slavonia offer wine routes, truffle hunting, castles, and cultural festivals. Nature is also often overlooked. Beyond the famous Plitvice Lakes, there are mountains for hiking, rivers for rafting, and even thermal spas.

In early fall, the sea is still warm from the summer heat, making it perfect for swimming. Fall is also grape and truffle harvest season, which is ideal for food and wine lovers.

We recently enjoyed a tour around Australia arranged by Natasa Jarik at Goway Travel. The trip lasted 10 days, too short to do justice to all of Australia, but enough to give us a taste of a fascinating country. The trip was excellent, exactly what we were looking for. The complicated logistics all worked out smoothly and perfectly. Everything was on time and as advertised. The individual tours were excellent, the guides were absolutely first rate, the accommodations all worked out well (especially the central location of Swissotel in Sydney), and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. One of the really enjoyable days was day 1, when we arrived early in the morning after a long plane flight from the US and spent the day walking through the parks and gardens and around the harbor in Sydney, visiting a couple of museums, and having a wonderful dinner at a little restaurant around the corner from our hotel. Sydney is a beautiful city! We missed spotting a cassowary in the rain forest, but we saw lots of roos and koalas and emus and dingoes and wombats and crocodiles and wallabies at Kangaroo Island and the Daintree rain forest, snorkeled at the Great Barrier Reef, and enjoyed a very interesting tour around Sydney. The arrangements were handled efficiently and easily. Thank you, Natasa, for arranging a perfect tour for us!Mike Cherry

This is an excellent tour agency that provides an excellent, all inclusive safari experience in South Africa, especially in the renown Kruger National Park. The agency will provide a very detailed, day-by-day itinerary of the trip, which, for the most part, describes exactly the order of activities that a customer will experience from start to end of the reserved trip. Our safari trip included a hotel pick-up in Cape Town in the beginning of the safari trip and drop-off at the end of the trip. Flights to and from either Johannesburg or Mpumalanga airport are included. We reserved a 3-day safari trip which included an afternoon safari the first day, a full day safari the 2nd day, and a morning safari the 3rd day. The lodge where we stayed was very clean with modern and convenient accommodations, including WIFI and breakfast. The guides are well trained and very knowledgeable about all animals we came across during our trip, and were also very courteous, polite and easy to engage in conversation. They made our safari trip exciting but safe! I would highly recommend this safari tour agency. Christos Patriotis

I had an amazing trip. It was more than I could have expected. I got to see everything I wished to see while I was abroad. All the guides were lovely and provided me with excellent knowledge on their cities/tours. Especially in China where it was their holiday week and they all took time away from their families to make me around their cities. The tour company in Japan made sure I got to every tour destination and knew what the plan was for each day. This is the second time I have used Goway for traveling and it has exceeded my expectations. katieahotmail.com

We just returned from an incredible 2-week trip to Brazil, and it exceeded every expectation. This was our first time using Goway, and RuthAnne absolutely knocked it out of the park. What Made It Special: Exceptional Guides - Every guide RuthAnne selected was outstanding. Our Rio guide was probably the best we've ever had anywhere in the world. Our Iguazu Falls guide was equally fantastic—knowledgeable, personable, and made the experience unforgettable. Every guide was excellent throughout our journey. Amazon Experience - The Amazon River portion was breathtaking. Incredible venue, exceptional staff, and truly memorable excursions. Perfect Planning - Every detail was thoughtfully arranged. Timing, accommodations, activities—everything flowed seamlessly. RuthAnne clearly knows Brazil inside and out and matched us with the perfect experiences for our family. We felt taken care of every step of the way. Bottom Line: We'll absolutely be using Goway again for our next adventure. Traveled as a family of four - would recommend for couples, families, or anyone seeking a hassle-free, world-class experience.Ethan Davenport

We just returned from a 2 week tour of South Africa, Zimbabwe(Victoria Falls) and Botswana, and had a fabulous time! This was the third tour I've used Goway, and as usual, it was such a positive experience! The accommodations that were booked were awesome! The hotels were luxurious, clean and the staff, all so warm and welcoming! Our travel agent, Vanessa Lloyd, did a fabulous job arranging everything, and was always available to answer my many questions! We'll be using them again, next year when we take a family trip to the Greek Islands and Turkey! They are always consistent in the quality of the hotels and experiences, and I highly recommend them for your travel needs!Fran Nitta Barnes

We are still on our journey in Italy. At Capri now and heading to the Amalfi Coast. So far, we can’t thank Goway enough for putting our itinerary together so quickly. Everything is going well and hope the next 10 days are perfect too. Gladys Vivian

Can't say enough good things about Goway Travel. From the very start, our travel rep, Harpreet, listened carefully to what we were hoping to see and do on our first trip to Japan. She asked great questions and then came back to us with a detailed itinerary packed with adventure and fun, and all within our travel budget. From the moment we took off from LAX, Harpreet had made sure we had every tour voucher, hotel voucher, plane ticket, train ticket, literally every detail covered. All we had to do was follow our itinerary. Also, Harpreet booked us into terrific hotels. Each one was spotlessly clean, comfortable, included a full (and delicious) breakfast and, most importantly, was centrally located to all of the activities she had planned for us. So everything was a 5 or 10-minute walk away. In three weeks' time we were able to visit six cities and so many fascinating shrines, temples, castles, imperial palaces - most of which were World Heritage sites. Harpreet also tucked in fabulous "experiences" like learning how to make sushi with a professional chef, enjoying a tea ceremony and watching graceful Geishas dance. My husband and I are seasoned travelers. But we don't speak Japanese and we really knew very little about the country. There is no way we would have been able to see and do all of the fascinating things we did in Japan if we hadn't chosen Goway Travel to be our guide. Many thanks for an unforgettable trip!

Great country (Italy), great people and love the feel you get by just being you. Ingrid Aird did a great job with a pair of tours one private and one group. Organizing pickup from airport and flights. Hotel, Enterprise Hotel, after a bit of a rough start getting us into a proper room, was more than excellent.Thomas Helps
