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.

Dear Goway Travel Team!
I wanted to reach out and share some well-deserved praise for Jacqueline, who has assisted me closely with several of my travels. She recently curated a trip for me to Croatia, the beautiful islands, and Montenegro, and it was an absolute home run.
Jacqueline has an incredible ability to listen to her clients' needs and translate them perfectly into a flawless itinerary. Her articulation, guideline execution, and professionalism are unmatched. What sets her apart is her forward-thinking approach—she always knows the exact hotspots and trends, ensuring the pace of the trip matches my speed perfectly.
Everything transitioned seamlessly thanks to her attention to detail and care. She is a massive asset to your organization, and her consideration makes every vacation stress-free. I will absolutely continue to use her for all my future travels.
Kindest regards,

The Hot air balloon ride in the Masai Mara is a must…it’s breathtaking!Pam SeitzI have worked with Goway several times in the past two years and every single trip has been unforgettable. Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime!

Fantastic working with her.CTI have been booking with GoWay for more than 2 years and feel so fortunate to have the best Travel Advisor, Maria Spitman, making our vacations unforgettable. I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. DarleenGoway has been amazing to work with. Farooq was my agent through Goway and she communicated promptly, planned a great international trip for my clients and was always organized.
