Overview
Take a trip to The Algarve on your Portugal Vacation
The Algarve is a year-round haven privy to Portugal's gentle climate and abundant sunshine, making it a top destination on the Iberian Peninsula. The region is renowned for its pristine, sun-kissed beaches, inviting travellers to experience the beauty along the Mediterranean Sea in the southern reaches of Portugal.
The Algarve offers an array of resorts stretching along an enchanting coastline, many of which have blossomed from humble fishing towns. You will have no shortage of perfect resort options if you're seeking vibrant hubs full of activity or serene, tranquil hideaways. Venturing westward will take you to the coastline embodying a wilder character, complete with untamed beaches ideal for surfing enthusiasts. In contrast, the eastern coast, nestled between Faro and the Spanish border, exudes a more traditional Portuguese charm, distinct from the central Algarve resorts.
Venture inland to the enchanting hinterlands, where picturesque castle towns and historic villages dot flower-covered hillsides. Discover the Algarve Way, a scenic hiking trail interwoven in the landscape, offering footpaths and cycling routes for exploration.
The region's capital, Faro, hosts the Algarve's major airport and is the ideal gateway to the city's mosaic-paved pedestrian streets and tranquil waterside gardens exuding irresistible charm. The Cidade Velha, or Old Town, enclosed behind a series of ancient defensive walls, showcases Faro's rich history. Situated on the fringes of the Ria Formosa National Park, the city boasts a remarkable setting amidst saltwater lagoons and mudflats overflowing with migratory birds and wildlife.

ExcellentBased on 5,250 ReviewsWe recently traveled to Portugal and had the most wonderful experience. As our first venture overseas, we decided to search online for travel assistance. We happened across Goway Travel and are so glad we did!
Michael Keon, our Destination Specialist, is extremely proficient and knowledgeable in his profession. "Thorough" is an understatement. He assisted every step of the way from the moment we stepped on our flights, transfer arrangements, hotel accommodations, train travel and multiple tours/outings tailored to our specific needs/wish list.
He provided unparalleled guidance and support during the planning process and was always available to discuss any questions/concerns. His communications were always prompt and concise.
Without a doubt, our best trip to date...there will be no hesitation to contact Mr. Keon for future travels.

Joanna MaysWhat made this experience great was Cedric Wai. Had a client going to Asia and this is Cedric's wheelhouse since he is from there.
Everything was wonderful. Everything went smoothly. The individual tours were wonderful and all the guides were exceptional. A lot of traveling-the flight was very good on Cathay Pacific would highly recommend their airline seats were comfortable and spaced well. Being on an airplane for 16 hours sucks in general, but other than being a little sore from being stuck in one place all was good.
Thank you so much for all your help and the trip was wonderful and everything that it should be! Next trip will be much more relaxing, sitting still for a while on a beach somewhere ha ha!Careen SullivanAndrea Paredes helped me plan a last minute Colombia trip for my clients who had never been! They loved every minute of it. The hotels, history, excursions, and flights went very smooth. They were so happy with all their tour guides. Deanna Frisbie BorregoMy destination specialist, Katie Stephenson was amazing from the onset. Her customer service, communication style and planning skills was so timely and top notch.
Our trip was to Fiji, New Zealand and Australia, from Aug 4-22, 2026. The way she planned and booked the trip makes the experience convenient and enjoyable. The flexibility of payment makes the decision faster and attractive. Everything we need to know including contacts were readily available within our travel documents itinerary.
Overall, I'll say it's money well spent and a lifetime experience particularly for my kids.FestusI'm a new travel agent and used Goway to help plan a group trip to the UK. Ani, from Goway was so great! She was very detailed oriented, she had great communication and was very thorough in the planning. I felt confident that my clients would be taken care of. My clients had an amazing trip and loved all of it! SieKyeAthul Ajay was our travel agent and he was excellent from the beginning to the end of planning our trip. Great at communicating and replying back too. Sabrina GaffoglioIsabella Luu made the arrangements for our trip to Scotland and all aspects of the trip and stay were excellent. Our assistance at the airports were very good as all were alerted to our needs. Our ride services were excellent. Isabella was always available to answer any questions that we had in a knowledgable and prompt manner, which is always very important to me.Audrey HenryHad an excellent tour of Australia, thanks to our travel specialist Katie Stephenson. She was patient as we kept modifying our plans. Got support from Goway and Katie when there was a need to rebook a tour midway through, all handled easily by Goway.Ron PrestonWe went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja BreilingWe used Goway to put together an itinerary for East Africa , and Zanzibar . Everything was great and went smoothly Dawn
