Jerusalem: A Tapestry of Time

Jerusalem, a city that stands as a testament to centuries of diverse cultures and faiths, offers an experience like none other. In the heart of the city lies the Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage site where history comes alive with every step. Within its ancient walls, travellers can explore religious sites that hold deep significance to Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faiths; the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and Dome of the Rock each pull at the roots of belief.

Creating custom holiday trips to Israel provides the flexibility to dive deep into Jerusalem’s myriad hidden corners, perhaps joining a specialized tour that unveils less-visited spots—local markets overflowing with spices, and quaint streets echoing with tales of the past. Each turn of this city brings revelations as timeless as they are contemporary.

The Enigma of the Dead Sea

A short journey east leads you to the mesmerizing Dead Sea, an escape from the ordinary. Known for its mineral-rich waters that allow you to float effortlessly, this natural wonder is not just a place for relaxation but also a hub of rejuvenation. The mud, renowned for its healing properties, attracts health enthusiasts from around the globe, transforming their excursions into a blend of nature and wellness.

Custom travel packages to Israel offer travellers the chance to engage with nature’s bounty, ensuring their itinerary is tailored to absorb the full spectrum of unique experiences, from secluded beachside meditations to exhilarating off-road escapades in the surrounding desert landscapes.

The Vibrant Pulse of Tel Aviv

For those seeking a dynamic contrast to the sacred serenity of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv offers a vibrant urban life that hums with the rhythm of discovery and creativity. This city is a beacon of modernity, where art and innovation flourish amidst historic backdrops. Whether you're drawn to the eclectic nightlife, bustling Carmel Market, or the Bauhaus architecture of the White City, Tel Aviv promises a lively addition to any tour of Israel.

With custom travel packages, visitors can thread seamlessly from the tranquillity of a sunset beach stroll to the pulse of an urban beat, carving their path through Tel Aviv’s melting pot of cultures and lifestyles.

The Culinary Journeys

Israel’s culinary scene is a flavorful symphony that combines fresh ingredients with diverse influences. From the aromatic hum of spices in traditional shakshuka to the sweet kiss of a freshly baked babka, your taste buds are in for a feast.

Consider adding a food tour to your custom holiday trip to Israel. These tours of Israel allow enthusiasts to savour local delicacies and engage directly with vendors at bustling food markets. Such experiences deepen your connection with the place, transforming meals into stories of heritage and innovation.

Cultural and Historical Wonders

Beyond its cities, Israel’s landscapes ripple with layers of history and natural beauty. Venture to the north, where the Galilee’s rolling hills and verdant valleys provide a serene backdrop to outdoor adventures. Dip into the azure waters of the Sea of Galilee or explore archaeological treasures that pepper the countryside.

Custom holiday trips to Israel often incorporate visits to these pivotal sites, allowing you to bask in the majesty of nature while appreciating the rich tapestry of history that frames every corner of the land.

In the south, the stark yet stunning Negev Desert unfurls like an artist’s canvas, inviting exploration and reflection. Whether hiking Ramon Crater or experiencing traditional Bedouin hospitality under a starlit sky, the desert offers an unexpected yet captivating slice of Israel.

Your Israel Adventure Awaits

Embarking on tours of Israel promises a journey teeming with memorable adventures and soulful encounters. Opting for custom travel packages ensures your experience is as unique as your imagination; every itinerary can be crafted around personal interests, whether it's history, culture, spirituality, or adventure.

Are you ready to forge your path through Israel's terrain of contrasts? Pack your curiosity and let the journey sculpt new memories across this extraordinary 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.

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

My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 weeks in New Zealand! The country is so beautiful and the people so friendly. Our destination specialist did a great job with planning and organizing the itinerary, choosing our hotels, and organizing transportation. The hotels were absolutely beautiful and we had great views. We felt right at home and found all of the staff to be friendly and accommodating. There were no issues with our itinerary and our excursions we were always on the list. Our transportation was always ready and waiting for us. We want to thank Goway Travel for their hard work and patience with us in planning this trip. Any changes that needed to be made were communicated timely. We also want to thank you for the beautiful weather during the entire 2 weeks it was perfect every day 😀. It was a memorable trip that we will never forget and we will think of Goway when we plan our next adventure. Because it was not just a vacation; it was an adventure!Connie Wenhardt

Brigitta Fuller is Amazing! She was my group coordinator. She understood the assignment and all the nuances I was trying to achieve. The itinerary she curated was fantastic. If you want someone who truly cares about her group and what they are trying to achieve. I will always reach out to Brigitta first for Europe groups. Kathryn Walker

My clients had a wonderful time on their trip to Easter Island. They were very pleased with the Hare Nua Hotel Boutique and especially noted the warmth and hospitality of the hotel staff as well as their excellent breakfasts. Jaime Vargas-Hendandez was an exceptionally gracious and knowledgeable agent, who went out of his way to ensure that my clients had the best possible experience. I will definitely contact him for future bookings and will recommend him to my colleagues.Alethea Kardas
