Trip to Peru
I connected with Goway Travel (my first time) to plan my recent visit to Peru for 10 days. Amanda DeOliveira, was my destination specialist and I can only call her "Amazing Amanda". Since my first call with her, she provided me regular guidance in planning the itinerary and choosing the activities. I realized her planning and understanding of my needs when I went on this adventure and thoroughly enjoyed it. The entire trip was well structured and I never felt rushed to enjoy every day during this trip. I had a couple of specific requirements and they were catered to. I will be remiss if I do not mention the local support at Condor Travel in Peru. Goway Travel made my experience extraordinary and I will connect with them for my future tours. They are a definite recommend for travellers who like to explore the world without any worry.

Ireland tour
I visited Ireland in September 2025. The trip was amazing and the second time I’ve booked with Goway travel. Well organized, we hit all the best sites and some we wouldn’t have known about without Goway’s expertise. Our agent. Farnaz Bagheri was professional , knowledgeable and very helpful during planning and when we had questions while travelling. Wonderful experience - highly recommend Farnaz and Goway

Ghana is a Go! Loved everything
I am writing to let you know that my clients returned from their journey and gave glowing reports about the accommodations, tours, and staff. They particularly liked Vivian, their tour guide. Not only was she thoroughly knowledgeable and astute, she was a genuinely great human being, and between her and their excellent driver, made their first time visit one of their best trips.
