Embarking on a journey through Israel is akin to wandering through the pages of history, where ancient and modern meld seamlessly under the Mediterranean sun.

Whether you're on group tours to Israel or partaking in Israel escorted tours, a kaleidoscope of cultural, historical, and natural attractions awaits.

Historical Marvels and Spiritual Sites

One's trip to Israel is incomplete without visiting Jerusalem, a city that stands as a testament to thousands of years of sacred history. Walk through the storied lanes of the Old City, where every stone and archway whispers tales from the past. The Western Wall, a place of profound spirituality, invites you to pause and reflect, while the golden Dome of the Rock captures the gaze and imaginations of pilgrims and tourists alike.

Venture further north to Nazareth and discover the Basilica of the Annunciation, an architectural gem with cascading gardens and intricate mosaics, believed to be the site where the angel Gabriel announced the birth of Jesus to Mary. The Sea of Galilee, serene and life-giving, invites visitors to sail its calming waters, retracing the steps of biblical figures.

Modern and Cosmopolitan Vibes

Contrasting its ancient roots, Tel Aviv presents a vibrant canvas of contemporary culture and innovation. Renowned for its stunning Bauhaus architecture, chic boutiques, and a bustling nightlife, it's a city that never sleeps. As part of your Israel travel packages, immerse yourself in the bohemian spirit of Neve Tzedek, a district adorned with colourful streets and artisan workshops.

Take a leisurely stroll along the Tel Aviv promenade, stretching along the coastline where golden sands meet azure waters. Here, culinary enthusiasts can indulge in a delightful blend of Eastern and Mediterranean flavours. Savor freshly caught seafood or dive into a platter of authentic falafels and hummus that showcase Israel's rich culinary heritage.

Natural Wonders to Explore

Israel's landscape is a tapestry of stunning contrasts. The Negev Desert offers an otherworldly journey with its expansive dunes and the heart-stopping beauty of the Ramon Crater, where you can hike or enjoy a thrilling jeep tour. Israel escorted tours often include these natural marvels, providing guided insights into their geological and historical significance.

For those in search of rejuvenation, the Dead Sea awaits. Known for its hyper-saline waters and therapeutic properties, this natural wonder allows you to effortlessly float while soaking in the minerals that have drawn visitors for centuries. The surrounding desert landscape, with its stark beauty, provides a perfect backdrop to this unique experience.

Rich Tapestry of Cultures

Culture in Israel is as diverse as its people. Jerusalem's Machane Yehuda Market offers a sensory delight, bustling with vendors selling fresh produce, spices, and local delicacies. This melting pot reflects Israel's multicultural identity, from the aromatic haunts of Ethiopian coffee to the sweet indulgence of Middle Eastern pastries.

Participating in one of the many festivals—from the vibrant Tel Aviv Pride to the sacred rituals of Yom Kippur—offers a unique glimpse into the Israeli way of life, one deeply rooted in tradition yet embracing of modernity.

Practical Insights for Travellers

When planning your adventure, consider the varied climates across regions. Pack layers to prepare for the temperate conditions of Jerusalem and the desert heat of the Negev. English is widely spoken, which makes navigating cities and rural areas simpler for international visitors. Group tours to Israel provide a structured way to embrace the country's rich tapestry of experiences, ensuring you don't miss iconic landmarks while diving deep into cultural nuances.

For a more personalized journey, Israel travel packages can be tailored to meet specific interests, whether you're drawn to religious heritage, natural escapades, or the contemporary lifestyle of its cities.

Your journey through Israel will invariably weave new stories into your travel memories. Engage with the land, its history, and its people, and let the vibrant spirit of this nation inspire your next adventure. Explore the paths of the past, immerse yourself in the lively present, and imagine the promising future of this ancient yet ever-evolving land.

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.

Alice was most helpful - full of insider suggestions. She was a good listener and able to provide tours, routes and guides tailored to our interests. She made our February trip to New Zealand entirely wonderful. Marlene

We did a 19 day NZ Rail and Cruise Discovery Tour and then a 12 day Australian tour put together by out specialized travel operator Joanne Palanuik. New Zealand- ABT Tours ran the actual tour and did a fabulous job. The Guide Sharon was great and worked very hard coordinating 32 people. Mostly all Australians and we has so much fun with them! Our driver Chris (a retired policeman) was especially great- he knew so many interesting things about NZ and shared them while driving throughout the trip. We loved him! So many highlights...overnight on a ship in the Milford Sound...cable car to a nature reserve then a Gold Class train ride back...Queenstown adventures..excellent meals along the way...all drivers and transfers were excellent too. Oceana Tours in Melbourne were great as well. A morning city tour and afternoon tour were wonderful. Then the next day to Philips Island for the Penguin moonlit march was sooo special. And the Ocean road cruise too!! Sydney was gorgeous...Bondi Beach...Barrier Reef...Ayers Rock (Uluru) Both Australians and New Zealanders were so helpful and friendly... In short I wish I could do it all over again..highly recommend. Every day was a new adventure :) Kathleen Reardon customer

Katie was a dream to work with. We made many changes to the standard itinerary to customize our trip and she never missed a beat. Her responsiveness and humor made working together a joy and her most common response to our very packed activities was, “can I help with that?” Hotels, car rental all went smoothly and were very much to our liking. The super long flights were laid out to minimize travel time and maximize comfort. Katie and GoWay made this dream trip happen. Faye

Its all about the journey, isn't it? And our journey through Kenya, Africa was amazing and we have Bijal Kana of Goway Travel to thank for it. From the start when we first discussed a true Safari adventure, Bijal was being helpful. Her suggestions were helpful in where to go and how we could save a few dollars when possible. Never trying to be cheap but simply, cost conscious. This was the beginning of what will continue as a forever working relationship in travel. Bijal gained our confidence and trust. And that is a rare commodity these days. Then too there was the staff from Goway and Sense of Africa like Ruth, Wilson and Francis who allowed us to see the non tourist side of Nairobi and became fast friends. The wonderful selections made by Bijal as to where we would stay and all the Serena locations were marvelous. And at the last minute, when a bridge got washed out and we could not get to the last lodge camp, Bijal responded to our whatsapp call immediately and we were placed in the Sorova lodge. True not the same, but in the middle of a game area, who complains? It was great and we had so much fun. The tour selection took us through parks, reserves and conservancy locales. We saw the big 5 and much more. Lions fighting, Hyenas making a chase and ultimate dinner selection, A leopard resting on tree branches, A cheetah stalking and then at rest. Hyena pups and Honbeast babes being birthed. Hippopotamus in the water, Zebra grazing, Elephants crossing rivers en mass. You'd think we hit the National Geographic channel. Great job Bijal. Good deal Goway.customerBram L. Bottfeld

Goway Travel helped us set up a Venice to Athens cruise on Viking and it was fantastic! Our agent (Kimberly) was responsive to all our questions and helpful navigating all the options for excursions, etc. She also gave us a cruise credit we could use while on the ship to help pay for extras. Overall great experience would use Goway again.Stanley

For the past four years, we have travelled to Perth, Australia to visit family. As part of our travels to Perth, we have had stays in Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland. This year, as part of our trip, we are staying in Melbourne and Adelaide. Each year, we have contacted Joanne at Goway to arrange our trip. She has booked all our flights and accommodations. She has been a wonderful source of travel locations within Australia and New Zealand. Joanne has always been very helpful. She checks on the best flights, give us ideas on airplane seat selection and locates great places to stay. She also provides ideas about what we might want to see or do at each location. Every time we contact her she is willing to provide information and answers any questions we may have. She listens to our requests, explains reasons for her suggestions, and answers any concerns we have with patience and understanding. We are so fortunate to have such a helpful, friendly individual as our travel advisor!Bob and Sue

Paul at GoWay made this first GoWay trip a breeze from start to finish! He was very quick to respond and created an incredible itinerary that my clients absolutely loved. From the incredible hotel location to the private tours led by knowledgeable tour guides who show that they love their jobs, it couldn't have gone better. Can't wait to Yesenia Rodriguez

Once again, Goway Travel has provided us with an amazing travel experience, and the customized itinerary prepared by Joanne Palanuik was second to none. She was the main reason that Australia is a "trip of a lifetime" for us. Her attention to detail and recognizing what would make this a special trip for us is noteworthy and much appreciated.Wally

I would recommend GoWay for travel anytime. I had a private tour of India built for me, after I was invited to my friend's wedding. I travelled around northern India with my driver for 10 days. I had a new guide most every day, for the trip, as we went from location to location. Absolutely everything was amazing!! I honestly can't say there was a negative moment in any of it. I felt 100% safe travelling alone with GoWay's experts. My lodgings were excellent and someone was always available for support, if need be. This was one of the best experiences of my life!!! Thank you so much GoWay!!Trudy Buelow
