New Zealand/Australia trip flawlessly executed.
The trip went amazingly smoothly. All flights, accommodations, transfers, and excursions were on time and as described. No surprises. First class all the way. We worked with Jessica Scott for almost six months planning this trip. She never failed to advise and work out all the details. In one of those instances where I thought I had a problem, but really didn't. I called the Goway 24-hour hot line. Got an instant response and they solved my non-issue, LOL Will definitely use Goway in the future.

Women Take Dubai 2025 with Goway
As a TA, I had the task to prepare a trip to Dubai for 32 women. I have been working with Nerea at Goway to work out all of the details on the trip. Nerea was very professional and helped bring my vision to reality with her expertise. Upon arrival in Dubai, we were greeted by Ali our tour guide for the week. Ali was the best!! Ali was very knowledgeable and extended patience and care for such a large group of women. He ensured that we all felt safe and his hospitality was second to none. I will be conducting group trips to Dubai in the future and look forward to working with both Nerea and Ali again.

New Zealand Family Group Tour
Vered is very responsive throughout the whole process. She made sure that everything is taken care of. Based on the seamless flow of our New Zealand tour, she has well coordinated the trip with the local provider Pacific Destinations, which was superb.

This was VERY nice to be in a SMALL group and not always with the same people – it gave us a chance to meet many new faces and I liked it VERY much.

I worked with Osvaldo for a trip to Columbia for my travel clients. He was very efficient, very understanding and addressed any concerns that came up. He is a stand out, fantastic rep at GoWay, and anyone working alongside him is lucky. Thank you for all your hard work to make this trip one for the books for my clients. I look forward to working with him in the future.
