Jessica S at Goway did a great job! Highly recommended!
Jessica S at Goway did a great job of putting together a very detailed, 3 week, custom travel itinerary that allowed us to experience the top destinations and experiences in New Zealand (both on the North as well as South Islands), based on our interests and timeframe, all for a very reasonable price. Her expertise and knowledge of New Zealand saved us from having to do countless hours of research as well as the associated hassles of us having to book each individual tour, hotel stay, transfer, etc ourselves. Creating a custom itinerary was so much better for us than taking a pre-packaged tour. Our trip went great and there were no glitches. We were very happy with our trip and highly recommend using Goway for your next custom-designed travel adventure.

Michael served us well in helping us…
Michael served us well in helping us select a Arctic cruise from several options. When our original plans with the tour operator Quark came derailed due to circumstances beyond their control, he helped out with selecting the best option offered by Quark.

Egypt experience
Group of 8 was terrific. All got along and we usually ate together,Tour guides very knowledgeable. Service of staff personnell always pleasant. Made for a good trip. Enjoyrd all the sites. While warned in advance, tipping became excessive even if not forced. Early starts helped reduce impact of crowds - would have liked fewere ealy starts. Guides might benefit fromspeaking through a headset as crowds impacted ability to hear properly. Even a set of brief notes beforehand would be useful.

Exceptional Tour Guide - Faheem Abbas
Exceptional Tour Guide – Faheem Abbas, Gulf Circle Tours I would like to express my appreciation for our tour guide, Faheem Abbas @ Gulf Circle Tours, who went above and beyond to make our Dubai experience unforgettable. His professionalism, attentiveness, and deep knowledge truly enriched our journey. He accommodated our group’s needs with patience and understanding, arranged additional details to ensure our comfort, and even took fantastic photographs for us. Despite unexpected delays, he waited patiently for our group members and recommended excellent places to eat and visit. His insightful commentary brought the tour to life, and his dedication to ensuring a smooth experience did not go unnoticed. We believe that outstanding service should be recognized, and we would highly recommend Faheem for future tours. Thank you for an amazing experience! Best regards, Linda Flippin All About Cruising

We had a great trip to Costa Rica at the beginning of January. Mark did an excellent job of organizing an itinerary that kept all of us happy (2 couples). He was very patient and took into account our individual concerns. I would highly recommend him and Goway Travel. I would not hesitate to use their services again.
