As you meander through its narrow cobblestone streets, you'll uncover architectural masterpieces such as St. John's Co-Cathedral, where the opulent Baroque interior astonishes visitors with its intricate artistry.

Engage with History at the Grandmaster's Palace

Among the must-see things in Malta, the Grandmaster’s Palace is a highlight, offering a peek into the island's grandiose past. Its ornate rooms and legendary armoury beckon history enthusiasts and curious travellers alike.

Embrace the Serenity of the Blue Grotto

Embark on one of the best Malta tours to the Blue Grotto, where natural wonders unveil themselves in a stunning display of sunlight and sea. Here, crystal-clear waters echo hues of brilliant blue, inviting visitors to experience enchanting boat tours and explore the hidden sea caves.

Soak in the Sun at Golden Sands

For those who adore sun-drenched beaches, Malta vacations wouldn't be complete without a visit to Golden Sands. This picturesque bay is perfect for unwinding and enjoying some of the finest coastline the Mediterranean has to offer. With its golden sand and inviting waters, it’s a haven for beach lovers.

Dive into the Mythical Beauty of Gozo

A short ferry ride away lies Gozo, Malta's sister island known for its rugged landscapes and tranquil atmosphere. Delight in the rural charm and discover majestic sites such as the Gigantia Temples, considered some of the world’s oldest free-standing structures.

A Culinary Delight: Savoring Maltese Cuisine

Exploring the culinary side of Malta, relish in traditional dishes like pastizzi – flaky pastries filled with ricotta or mushy peas – and sample the famous rabbit stew, fenkata. These flavours are a unique reflection of Malta’s diverse history and are sure to tantalize your taste buds.

Immerse Yourself in Maltese Culture

Malta's vibrant cultural scene is best experienced through its numerous festivals, which celebrate everything from folk music to fireworks. Engaging with locals during these events provides a genuine insight into the island's warm and hospitable spirit.

Explore the Stunning Architecture of Mdina

Journey into the silent city of Mdina, where medieval walls whisper tales of times gone by. Known for its stunning architecture and serene ambience, this former capital is a picturesque setting for exploration.

Practical Tips for Your Malta Adventure

To make the most of your Malta vacations, consider visiting outside peak tourist season when the weather is pleasant and the sites are less crowded. Public transportation across the islands is reliable, but renting a car offers the freedom to explore at your own pace.

Whether you find yourself basking in the Mediterranean sun, diving into the depths of its crystal waters, or strolling through its ancient streets, Malta truly is a destination rich in both adventure and relaxation. It's a tapestry of historical wonders and natural beauty waiting to be discovered.

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.

Osvaldo Gonzalez was an excellent rep to work with when planning my client's Costa Rica vacation. He was efficient and timely with every correspondence. My clients had an amazing time! Rachel Hoeing

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

Mahalo Goway Travel for helping in planning our group Japan's trip. Lawrence was very helpful & patient with all the changes & additions we did. Also, mahalo to Natasa who helped planned my Australia trip past November. The planning from transportation to tours to hotels worked very smoothly. I'll continue to use Goway travel for all my International trips. I'll also will recommend to my friends & family to use Goway...MahaloTanya Laguatan
