Overview
Take a trip to Rhode Island on your United States Vacation
Rhode Island’s perfectly preserved Colonial architecture sets the stage for this affluent area of historic villages chalked-full of waterfront restaurants, fancy shopping and a fertile countryside inviting you to explore New England’s smallest state.
The capital city, prestigious Providence, is where the foodies of the region reign supreme and the intellectual prowess of the locals make for great conversations as you walk past restored Gilded Age mansions along Benefit Street in this refined city with a small-town appeal. If beaches call out to you, the powder-white swaths of Rhode Island’s South County sands lead to nature preserves, antique shops and art galleries or head out from Galilee, Jerusalem or Snug Harbour for boating or a fishing expedition. Live jazz and aristocratic vibes hum throughout the opulent, walkable streets of Newport where the likes of the Vanderbilts, Astors and Belmonts vacationed in style and a 70-room “cottage” was just right and where sailing is much more than just a hobby.
Don your best Sunday hat and stomp divots at the half like a polo-pro in Portsmouth where competitors from across the globe face off in white linen on muscular steeds during the summer months. On Block Island, 17 miles of sand butting up against the dizzying cliffs of majestic Mohegan Bluffs, where ocean air strokes your skin along coastal patios and locals and tourists alike dine on fresh clam chowder. Ride bikes or hike inland through the Clay Head Nature Trail where ruby-crowned kinglets and peregrine falcons sing, and soar and the pink sunrise tickles the 200-foot cliffs along Mohegan Trail where surfers brave the waves below.

One hidden gem is the Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado. Sand dunes against the backdrop of the Rockies, with sand sledding, hiking, and amazing night skies.

ExcellentBased on 5,321 ReviewsSuzzette and her team provided exceptional support throughout our year‑long planning process for our Bali group. Despite multiple changes, updates, and last‑minute cancellations, she remained organized, responsive, and solution‑focused. Asia Trails Indonesia delivered a seamless experience from arrival to departure, and our guides, Dayu and Adit, were outstanding; prompt, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. The coordination across multiple departure cities, the curated excursions, and the overall flow of the itinerary were executed beautifully. My group thoroughly enjoyed the trip and is already asking about returning. I highly recommend Suzzette as a group coordinator for her professionalism, dedication, and high‑quality service.Anchored Memories TravelMike K. graciously provided us with a perfect itinerary, offering us flexible high quality options for our trip. We added in a few complex details and he maneuvered around them creating smooth transitions. Planning an overseas 11 day trip can be overwhelming and Mike made everything feel easy. I highly recommend!Amy ChallgrenGoway staff was available to us throughout our entire trip to Costa Rica. Their involvement was seamless and surprisingly smooth between them and all of our hotels and tours. We have been totally impressed with their involvement with our travel agent and their complete resolution of the only problem we had during the 2 different international trips that we have taken.Diana McCroryThank you to Goway for a great and enjoyable 7 day tour in China, for our Canadian group of 14! Very special thanks to the local guides in Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing ( Richard, Richard and James) who were second to none! Each was a knowledgeable ambassador for their home city, working hard to ensure our enjoyment and comfort, and to showcase the beauty of each area and its current and historical sites. They very kindly and patiently assisted everyone, and especially accommodated 2 of our group who encountered unexpected wellness challenges. The local bus drivers for our group were experts too, keeping us on time and safe on the roads and highways. Hotels were beautiful, welcoming, well located and appointed, quiet, comfortable and clean. Additional travel arrangements by air and high speed train went off without a hitch. KATHLEEN LLOYDThis was the first time we used Goway Travel and Brooke Theron was absolutely the best to deal with. Our safari in Africa was fabulous and we were able to have all four questions answered before we left. It was a trip to remember and we would recommend both Brooke and Goway to other who are looking for a great experience. Thanks Brooke and Goway.Joyce RobinsonWe decided to go to France for 3 weeks in September and knew we needed help planning the trip (we made this decision in August so a very short time frame. We had traveled with Goway a few years ago and were hoping they could help. Our specialist, Farnaz Bagheri, was fantastic, she listened to what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. She literally arranged everything with her French partners. The guides and drivers were wonderful the accommodations were excellent. Communication was easy from the first discussion to the time we got home. Farnaz planned for us an exceptional trip in a very short time frame. Promise next trip we will contact Goway much earlier.
