Explore Lisbon's Charms

Lisbon, the capital city, entices adventurers with its perfect blend of traditional charm and modern flair. As you wander through the steep streets of Alfama, you'll be greeted with the delightful aromas of fresh pastries and the mournful notes of Fado music. Don't miss the chance to hop on Tram 28, which clinks and clatters through centuries-old neighbourhoods, offering stunning vistas at every turn.

For those with a thirst for adventure vacation packages to Portugal, Lisbon sets the stage with its close proximity to the venturous terrains of Sintra. Here, explorers can traverse lush forests, discover the romantic ruins of the Moorish Castle, or capture the kaleidoscopic beauty of the Pena Palace. The landscape here is not just picturesque but also an action-packed playground awaiting your footprints.

Unveil the Secrets of Porto

Porto, the northern heartbeat of Portugal, beckons with its own distinct allure. Famous for its rich port wine and the hypnotic flow of the Douro River, this city is also a gateway to rave-worthy adventures. Glide down the river on a traditional Rabelo boat or indulge in the sensory feast of a wine-tasting tour in one of the region's renowned cellars.

The adventurous soul will find joy in hiking the hills overlooking the city or zipping through the streets on a Vespa. For a dive into history, visit the grand Livraria Lello, a bookstore so enchanting it’s said to have inspired J.K. Rowling. Porto isn't merely a destination; it’s a dynamic adventure that hugs each bend of the riverbanks.

Adventure in the Algarve

The Algarve region, with its stretched golden beaches and jagged limestone cliffs, is a sun-drenched paradise for the outdoor enthusiasts. It hosts a myriad of opportunities for those seeking trips to Portugal filled with excitement and natural beauty. Kayak through the azure waters to uncover hidden grottoes, or surf the powerful Atlantic swells at hotspots like Praia da Rocha.

Venture inland to explore quaint villages where time seems to stand still, offering a necessary pause to soak in the culture and hospitality. The thrill does not end on land; embark on a dolphin-watching excursion or scuba dive to explore the teeming marine life that calls the Portuguese coast home.

Tasting Portugal

No adventure vacation packages to Portugal would be complete without indulging in its culinary delights. From the iconic pastéis de nata to hearty bacalhau dishes, the flavours of Portugal are as diverse as its landscapes. Especially noteworthy is a trek through the Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where terraced vineyards produce some of the finest wines globally. Here, savour each sip paired with traditional cuisine against a backdrop of stunning vineyards.

Cultural Treasures

Beyond the adrenaline-pumping activities, Portugal offers a rich cultural tapestry that invites exploration. Witness the grandeur of the Jerónimos Monastery, a testament to the maritime prowess of Portugal's past, or lose yourself in the intricate tilework of the National Palace of Sintra.

Experience the warmth of Portuguese hospitality as you immerse yourself in local festivals that celebrate everything from medieval history to the summer harvests. Every encounter is a journey into the heart of Portuguese life, ensuring that your travels are as enriching as they are exhilarating.

As you plan your next travel adventure, let Portugal's endless opportunities for exploration and discovery guide you to an unmatched escape. Whether through the winding alleyways of its cities or the untamed beauty of its coastlines, Portugal promises an adventure as vibrant and varied as its storied past. Ready your senses for a remarkable voyage and let Portugal’s magic unveil itself in the most surprising ways.

We had a blast and felt covered by GoAway throughout. This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthy

Our trip to Japan was great. All our Goway arrangements preformed like clockwork and the guides for the tours were wonderful. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was in total fog but at least the lunch was very good and so was the drum solo, also our tour guide kept our spirits up ( she was the best). Taryn picked hotels that were very convenient to the meeting point of our tours which was much appreciated and organized all aspects of our trip perfectly. So from our airport pickup to our last day in Tokyo everything ran very smoothly so we have used Goway before and will certainly use it again and reccommend Goway to others.JW

We have used Goway Travel for previous trips and have been very happy with their excellent service. Our last trip to New Zealand and Australia was no exception. Our agent, Lori Mazzono, got tuned into the sort of trip we were hoping to have immediately. The various booking she provided were, without exception, exceptional and exactly what we envisioned, We really don't think we would have changed anything. tBruce Belshaw

Mary was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was incredibly responsive and quick to assist with every update and change my clients made throughout the planning process. Her expertise was invaluable, from recommending the perfect resorts to advising on the best way to travel between the islands. My clients loved every moment of their trip, especially their resort stays and overwater bungalow experiences. As this was their honeymoon, creating a seamless and memorable journey was so important, and Mary exceeded expectations. They rated their experience a 5 out of 5 and could not have been happier. Thank you, Mary, for your outstanding support and attention to detail. I truly appreciated your partnership and would not hesitate to work with you again for future South Pacific Island bookings.

From start to finish, every detail was thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed, which made the entire journey stress-free. The recommendations on where to go and what to do were absolutely fantastic! Each stop felt perfectly curated and exceeded our expectations. It was clear that Goway truly understands the destinations they offer and knows how to create a memorable, well-balanced itinerary. A special thank you to our travel consultant, Bijal, who was outstanding throughout the entire process.

Their guidance made a big difference in building our confidence and excitement leading up to the trip. I would highly recommend Goway Travel to anyone looking for a seamless, expertly planned travel experience. We will definitely be using them again for our future adventures! Harjit C

Elisa planned our trip. We were met at the airport by Paul who drove us to Arusha. Adam, our guide and driver was with us the whole trip and was very knowledgeable about the country and the animals & birds we encountered. Accommodations were excellent, meals were delicious and the Tanzanian people we met at each location were so kind and welcoming. A wonderful trip.pat vickers

We had a wonderful trip to Peru for 11 days organized by Goway. Overall the trip was great, we loved our guides throughout, some of the hotels were truly amazing and it was helpful having everything organized and having a point person to ask questions and check in while we were there. Some main highlights were: 1) Machu Picchu- I am so glad we did two tours, because the weather was perfect for views, but also had an opportunity to see Machu Picchu more in depth with a knowledgeable and friendly guide and had a little extra time in Aguas Calientes to shop, explore and even visit the butterfly garden and do some birdwatching. 2) Cusco especially the Hotel Aranwa Cusco. The hotel was incredible, excellent service, modern updates, it was a true highlight of the trip. Cusco itself was also a highlight, loved our half day tour, plus getting ideas for our guide on what else to see in our free time and where to eat. 3) Lima- Aloft Miraflores was another highlight, very modern, nice pool and the best breakfast out of the hotels we stayed in. The location in Miraflores was also perfect, as there were plenty of restaurants, cafes and attractions nearby. 4) Everyone at Condor was great, from ensuring we had all our documents, tickets and itinerary to even stepping in to get water and agua Florida when we were feeling the altitude sickness the first hours in Cusco. Most of our rides and transfers were very comfortable and made the trip run smooth through all the different locations. I have been telling my friends and family how wonderful the experience with Goway has been for our Peru adventure. Eric Paul Schatzel
