Overview
Take a trip to Phoenix on your United States Vacation
Arizona is a place of inspiration, and in its capital, Phoenix, that inspiration comes to life through top art galleries, unique museums, gardens, and desert adventures. If you're a golf enthusiast, there's no better place in the United States for a round. Whether you use Phoenix as a gateway to explore the desert or for a city break, it has much to offer.
Explore Arizona's ecosystem at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, where you can follow five different trails. Take a trail in Papago Park to reach the Hole in the Rock, offering excellent views of the city. Don't forget to visit the Phoenix Zoo, a massive non-profit zoo with numerous walking trails and a wide variety of species. If you seek a challenge, consider hiking the Echo Canyon Trail on Camelback Mountain.
While Sedona is known for art galleries, Phoenix has a remarkable art scene. Start at the Phoenix Art Museum, which houses over 18,000 works from around the world in a modern building. For a more specialized experience, visit the Heard Museum, dedicated to Native American art.
Phoenix is home to unique niche museums, like the Musical Instrument Museum, with a collection of over 6,000 instruments, including John Lennon's 'Imagine' piano. The Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting is an intriguing look at the history of firefighting in one of North America's hottest and driest regions.
Architecture enthusiasts will appreciate Phoenix's memorable homes, including the hand-built Mystery Castle and Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West.
While exploring Phoenix's outdoor attractions is enjoyable, it's good to have indoor options for the hottest days. Remember to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and use a hat, even in the cooler months. Be prepared and make the most of your time in this sunny city.

ExcellentBased on 5,242 ReviewsWe went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja BreilingWe used Goway to put together an itinerary for East Africa , and Zanzibar . Everything was great and went smoothly DawnI can't tell you enough how much I love to work with Callie. She is a life saver and I love how attentive she is. Every time I give her an itinerary for a client- she really knocks it out of the park with the proposal. If there are any issues- she is on it right away. Her work ethic is outstanding.Michelle LabarcaI had the pleasure of working with Amelia on a booking for a family of 4 to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. She executed everything perfectly, was attentive to needs and the family was over the top happy with their vacation. She was quick to answer questions and provide helpful feedback. Highly recommended!Jessie WilliamsWe were trying to navigate Swiss Travel Center to book a 10 day train trip through Switzerland. It was exactly what we wanted but navigating their site was extremely difficult for us. Goway Travel picked up on our plight and put us in contact with Jacqueline Fagooli, one of their agents. From there on everything was so smooth. Their efficiency, communication, and thoroughness were beyond our expectations. The trip was fabulous and kudos to Jacqueline and Goway for their help in making it so.Carolyn McCormackThe destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years.
If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek TravelWe had a wonderful and amazing two weeks in North-West Scotland. Shoutout to Jacqueline at Goway Toronto and the driver/guides with Rabbie's minibus tours (Stefan and Willie). Well-chosen hotels and no worries with dietary requirements; every detail was taken care of. Thank you!
Ben DaubeKatie was professional, extremely responsive, and very welcoming to work with! We appreciate the recommendations, thoughtful edits, and the expertise. Would definitely recommend Goway travel and working with their team.Parking.com CustomerSuch thoughtful and sincere communication with my advisor Katie! Even though the trip didn’t come into fruition as expected, she still remained committed to adjusting around our itinerary every step of the way. I’m very thankful for the opportunity she gave us as well as just general ideas for the trip.JennaWorking with Isabella on a families trip to Ireland! The itinerary was 2 weeks, self drive with many excursions and a family wedding in the middle of it all! She was amazing from start to finish! She answered every question my clients had! She gave the best recommendations! So many details and planning went into this amazing trip! If i could give 10 stars I would! She would call me to make sure everything looked great!
