What do Goway's travellers say?
“ 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
K. Kane customer“Switzerland by Train”
Michael Keon planned a first-class two week trip for my husband me in Switzerland. We travelled by train to each destination with a first class Swiss travel pass - highly recommended. All our hotels were within walking distance of the train station and were very comfortable, most with balconies, and each one was very unique, giving a great flavour of the different cultures in Switzerland - lakeside, skiing village, French, Italian, German. Michael booked several excursions to tops of mountains on cogwheel trains or in gondolas. All very well organized!
Jacqui“Portugal/Spain”
Had the pleasure of working with Heidi to plan a Portugal/Spain get away. She listened to our budget constraints and still pulled off a fabulous itinerary! We had a wonderful time!
Regina Cregin“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!
Jillian Hambright“Goway travel advisor Edwina ”
We used Goway agent Edwina who was very caring & receptive to our wishes and went out of her way to have happy customers. She was very prompt to replies & always worked with us the customers to get the vacation we wanted. She worked on a very personal level & we will use her again for future travel.
G K“UK & France! Fantastic Experience”
We booked our trip to the United Kingdom and France with Farnaz Bagheri, a destination specialist with Goway. Farnaz, and the Goway team have exceeded our expectations. Farnaz and Goway were extremely attentive and accommodating.
This was our first time in Europe, which brought a lot of excitement, but also anxiety as there was a lot of new elements for us to navigate. Our anxiety quickly faded when our journey began and the itinerary that Farnaz crafted for us came to life, and went flawlessly.
We are so grateful to have had such a flawless first trip to Europe thanks to Farnaz and Goway. We are so happy we put our trust in Farnaz and Goway and would absolutely book with them again!
Brooke Hatfield“Our Trip to Italy with Goway! ”
My husband and I are seasoned travelers and for our much anticipated trip to Italy we wanted to see the country independently for 3-4 weeks. Melissa worked with us to get an independent itinerary that combined the type of hotels, activities and excursions that we wanted. She also arranged for all of our transportation - trains, and drivers, as well as a car rental. The entire trip went very smoothly. Melissa got us exactly what we were hoping for. This is our second trip planned with Goway - our first to Japan, Singapore and Thailand and we would not hesitate to use them again. Thank you Melissa and Goway!
Diane Chomik“Fantastic Experience”
Fantastic experience working with Ani at Goway Travel. She and her team were so attentive and accommodating. Everything was so appreciated!
Brenda“Italy ! Amazing once in a lifetime trip! ”
Thank you Goway , especially Jacqueline and Valerie for organizing our long itinerary wish list!
Your weeks of travel planning created such a fantastic Italy experience!
Great hotel locations in Florence, Milan, Palermo, Taormina and Cinque Terre . Good choices to help us understand cultural highlights. Great food tours. Some skip the line in Florence and Milan. We liked that good use of our vacation time.
On any issue the team was easy to communicate with using WhatsApp.
Diane Greer“European Excellence”
My wife and I just got back from a 4 week-long trip to Croatia, Italy, and Switzerland. I contacted Goway in March and we dealt with Melissa Moses, who was fantastic. I explained to her what I was looking for and she offered suggestions for our trip. One of those suggestions was to join a Group Tour in Italy. Melissa set everything up very well and the support from Goway was very professional. I would certainly consider using Goway again and, if going to Europe, would try to get Melissa.

Best Time To Visit
Norway changes dramatically with the seasons, offering unforgettable experiences year-round.
Summer (June to August) is a dream for outdoor lovers. Long days stretch into the night, thanks to the midnight sun, especially above the Arctic Circle. It’s the perfect time for hiking, kayaking, and scenic fjord cruises when the landscapes are lush and vibrant.
Winter (December to March) brings a different kind of magic. Snow blankets the country, and the skies often glow with the hues of blue and green under Northern Lights. This is prime time for skiing, dog sledding, and Arctic adventures in places like Tromsø and the Lofoten Islands.
Spring and fall are quieter, ideal for travellers seeking fewer crowds and a more relaxed pace. Spring brings blooming wildflowers and cascading waterfalls at their strongest, while autumn lights up the mountains in shades of gold, red and orange. No matter when you visit, Norway offers something extraordinary.
When it comes to packing, Destination Specialist Hetal Patel advice is clear: “Layer up. Carry an umbrella and raincoat because sometimes it gets super cold super fast. And bring along a bathing suit so you can enjoy one of the many saunas there.”
Check out our guide to the Best Time to Visit and let us help you choose the ideal season for your Norway vacation.
What do the experts say?
If you can, plan your vacation around so you can participate in Constitution Day on May 17th. It’s Norway’s national day, but unlike most countries, it’s not military or political. It’s a huge, joyful celebration of children, culture, and national pride.
You have to try glogg, Norway’s popular mulled wine. It’s a personal favourite
With regard to packing for your trip - Layer up. Carry an umbrella and raincoat because sometimes it gets super cold super fast. And bring along a bathing suit so you can enjoy one of the many saunas there!
