Step into the Cradle of Civilization

Begin your adventure in Jerusalem, a city that stands as a testament to millennia of faith and culture. Wander through the cobblestone streets of the Old City, where each corner whispers tales from the past. Here, you'll find the Western Wall, a sacred site for Jewish pilgrimages, and the Dome of the Rock, an architectural marvel revered in Muslim culture. Opting for Israel private tours can enrich your experience, offering guided insights into these iconic landmarks that have shaped history.

Embrace the Vibrant Local Culture

In Tel Aviv, modern art dances in sync with lively nightlife, crafting a city that's the epitome of cosmopolitan cool. Stroll along the iconic Rothschild Boulevard, where Bauhaus buildings narrate the tales of the past century. Here, private Israel trips can introduce you to the local arts scene, from contemporary galleries to street art tours that showcase vibrant murals. Don't miss out on the Carmel Market, where you can savour the delightful chaos of spices, fresh produce, and traditional delicacies.

Indulge in Culinary Delights

Israel's culinary landscape is as dynamic as its history, offering a tantalizing fusion of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavours. Join Israel private tours that focus on culinary experiences, guiding you through bustling markets and family-owned eateries. From creamy hummus and fresh falafel to the rich aromas of freshly-baked pita, every dish tells a story of tradition and innovation. Wine enthusiasts will also relish a visit to the country's flourishing vineyards in the lush Galilee region, known for its exquisite varietals.

Explore Stunning Natural Wonders

For the nature lover, Israel's diverse ecosystems offer a sanctuary of stunning landscapes. Hike through the Judean Desert to uncover the mystique of Masada, an ancient fortress perched atop a dramatic plateau. Witness the breathtaking spectacle of the Dead Sea, where salty waters and mineral-rich mud provide both therapeutic relief and awe-inspiring beauty. Private Israel trips allow you the flexibility to delve into these wonders at your own pace, ensuring a personalized and enriching journey.

Dive into the Heart of Innovation

Israel is not just a land of ancient history but also a beacon of modern innovation. In cities like Haifa and Be'er Sheva, you'll discover a thriving technology scene. Engage with local startups through bespoke Israel vacation packages that provide exclusive tours of tech hubs and innovation centres, giving you a glimpse into what makes Israel a leader in global advancements.

Beyond the iconic, Israel's lesser-known treasures hold equal charm. In the enchanting village of Zefat, artists and mystics have found inspiration amidst its winding alleys and artisan galleries. Meanwhile, kibbutz tours reveal communal life, offering a unique perspective on Israel's agricultural practices and community spirit. Each visit unveils the rich tapestry of cultures that coexist in this intriguing country.

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.

We booked our 3,week tour of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and overall it was an excellent experience. I typically book my own travel, but travelling with a group and wanting tours in each destination made GoWay a great choice. We had great hotels and good guides in each city. I will say that our standout guide was Romeo Tran in Ho Chi Minh City. We spent a few days in the city, as well as an over night boat ride on the delta, and he was fantastic. We had alot of fun with him, and would highly recommend him in particular. Neil Braun

We booked a Viking cruise (Venice to Athens) through Goway Travel and it was fantastic! Our agent Kimberly was extremely helpful with air travel options, choosing excursions, and suggestions for pre and post cruise activities. Great communications and a really enjoyable experience.Stanley

We booked through Paula Williamson in the Toronto office, a Great Journeys New Zealand trip and it was fantastic! Although I had already scheduled a trip on The Ghan train in Australia, Paula helped me work it all as one huge 45 day trip including Bali Indonesia. My favorite was the New Zealand trip as I’d never been there before and the tour guide Toni was so spectacular and caring. I’m so pleased Goway was involved and I didn’t require any additional assistance once We'd started the first flight March 8. If we do another overseas trip, Goway will be involved.John

Michael Keon arranged our recent trip to Malta. I gave him a rough outline of what we were looking for and he responded quickly making great suggestions, offering alternatives as needed and booking everything. The hotel, excursions and transport he arranged were all exactly what we hoped for. We will be asking Michael to book our future European vacations. Mayssa Mirshak

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
