Bucket List Trip
Our Circle Newfoundland and Labrador small group tour was fabulous. Everything went so smoothly- no glitches whatsoever. Ruth Leonty was the Goway agent who dealt with us . She was great organizing transfers and extra nights both in Halifax and St. John's. Some of the days were long, but we saw so much and learned so much that we have no complaints. Every day was a new adventure. We loved the boat tours- saw whales, iceberg remnants and our favourite- the puffins. L'Anse aux Meadows and Gros Morne National Park were amazing and so interesting. Just driving across the province was a thrill as there would be a beautiful vista around nearly every corner. What a beautiful country we live in! Also had a wonderful driver and a very knowledgeable guide. We highly recommend Goway and this particular tour.

Exceptional Service & Genuine Care
I've had the pleasure of working with Goway Travel, specifically Zara and Ani—and I can't speak highly enough about the level of service and professionalism they bring to every interaction. They’re both incredibly prompt, knowledgeable, and helpful, consistently going above and beyond to ensure smooth planning and execution. What stood out most was the thoughtful extras—the little tips, personal touches, and insider guidance that made a real difference for my clients and me. It's rare to find a team that combines efficiency with such a warm and personable approach. Highly recommend Goway for travel advisors who value responsive partners and exceptional support!

We just returned from a wonderful…
We just returned from a wonderful journey to the Rocky Mountains, assisted by Goway Travel. This journey has been on our wish list for decades and finally happened in June 2025. Goway put together a great itinerary. The first day was a private tour of Banff and the surrounding area. Our tour guide, Bally, made this day very special by personalizing the tour with a special connection for each person (four) in our group. This became a spiritual journey for us. The days on the train exceeded our expectations as we traveled through the wonders of the Rockies. The logistics for getting us to the train and our Hotel in Vancouver went very smoothly. The personal tour of Vancouver also met and exceeded expectations. Ruthanne Leonty was a great support, ensuring that everything went as expected and more.

South Africa Group Trip
I recently partnered with Goway to plan a luxury group trip to South Africa, and they delivered an incredible experience from start to finish. The itinerary was thoughtfully crafted, well-paced, and filled with meaningful excursions—my clients especially loved the Soweto tour, safaris, and wine country. Their guide Brenda was a standout—warm, professional, and unforgettable. The prearranged meals, comfortable transportation, and hand-picked accommodations made travel smooth and enjoyable for all. Goway was a reliable and attentive partner throughout the planning process, and I look forward to working with them again for future group adventures! Special shoutout to Frank & Tanya for being gems all throughout the planning process and handling the changes along the way, they truly made me look like a rockstar to my clients.

Phenomenal service experience
I had the pleasure of working with Kyah for an Italian adventure for a family of 6. Kyah has been extremely helpful from the very beginning! She had a three-way call with the client and myself to get the “vision” firsthand. Not only did Kyah deliver the most amazing properties and itinerary, she literally saved this booking! The client was indecisive and the process lingered over a month. Kyah was very patient and after working more with the client, we delivered the PERFECT fit to secure the booking!!! I cannot thank her enough!
