Wonderful experience!
Janette did a remarkable job planning our Australia/New Zealand adventure. It truly was amazing! Our travel was great, the tours were wonderful, and the hotels were perfect. We had a wonderful time - better than we could’ve imagined. Thanks for helping make our dream come true!

Just perfect for me…
It was a great cadence of filled days and some free time, too! The guides/excursion companies were great and made it fun! I learned so much and already want to go back because there’s so much to see and do we only scratched the surface. I loved everything and it was because Erin Hutchinson listened and really took the time to know what was going to be a good match for me for excursions and she really knew the perfect tours to plan. Thank you!

Highly Recommend Goway Travel
My husband and I planned our honeymoon to Thailand through Goway Travel, and we were absolutely blown away by how seamless and organized everything was. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and the entire trip went off without a hitch! We were especially impressed with the amazing tour guides we had along the way. Their knowledge, stories, and passion added so much depth to our experience—we truly wouldn’t have learned as much without them. Two of our favorites were Mr. Tee and Mr. Sit, both of whom were incredibly energetic, attentive, and went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Goway Travel to anyone planning a trip to Thailand!
