Goway Story: Our Journey, Vision, and Values

President's Welcome

Dear Globetrotter,

When I started this journey back in 1970, Goway was a one-man company operating out of a small apartment in Toronto. Today, we have over 800 team members working across three continents. We’re a global company committing to helping you explore our wonderful world.

Consider this website your window into the world. As you explore its pages, you’ll discover inspirational stories, expert advice, and unforgettable trip ideas to over 115 countries worldwide.

Sincerely,
Bruce Hodge

I had a fantastic experience working with Lisa D. on the Goway team. She was helpful, attentive and made sure we were comfortable with our bookings and itinerary before departure, and also checked in with us following our trip. Would definitely book with Goway again!

“Michael at Goway Travel was great to…”

Michael at Goway Travel was great to work with. We were planning a pre-trip with him prior to a group tour. He worked with us to hit the special places we wanted to visit and things we wanted to do. The accommodations arranged exceeded our expectations. Local guides were all amazing. This was the third trip we booked through Goway, and we will definitely book with them again in the future

“A perfect family vacation in French Polynesia”

Katie's knowledge and support were the primary reason the trip worked so well. Everything went smoothly, and the vacation could not have been any better. The hotels were wonderful, the two tours we took went well, and there were no issues with flights or transfers.
