Unravelling History at the Pyramids of Giza

Your journey into the world of the pharaohs begins with the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza. Imagine the delight in your children's eyes as they face these ancient giants, a palpable connection to a time long past. Engage a local guide to enrich your trip with tales of burial rituals and the architectural genius of ancient Egyptians. A camel ride around these colossal structures is a family favourite, providing a unique perspective and a touch of adventure.

The Vibrant Heart of Cairo

No family vacation to Egypt is complete without exploring Cairo, an energetic city humming with life. Wander through the bustling Khan el-Khalili Bazaar where the aromas of exotic spices whisper stories of traders from bygone eras. Make sure to treat your family to a traditional Egyptian meal at a local eatery, enhanced by the warm hospitality and authentic flavours—such as kushari, a hearty dish beloved by locals.

An Immersive Dive into Egyptian Culture and Art

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo welcomes families into the world of Tutankhamun and other storied figures. The museum's extensive collection of artefacts will inspire young imaginations, providing tangible links to the fascinating narratives of ancient Egypt. Meanwhile, your family can engage in interactive workshops that let everyone try their hand at traditional crafts, bringing history to life in a fun and educational way.

Sailing the Serene Nile River

Embark on a felucca, a traditional sailing boat, for a unique glimpse of Egypt's landscape along the Nile. This peaceful journey offers a gentle escape from the city's hustle and bustle and is an unforgettable family bonding experience. Along the way, make stops to explore villages where timeless traditions are still very much alive, offering your family a firsthand view into local life.

Adventures in Luxor and Aswan

Emailing Luxor and Aswan as part of your trip to Egypt introduces your family to the grand legacy of the New Kingdom. Wander through the expansive Temple of Karnak, imagining the vibrant ceremonies that once took place in its shadowy halls. In Aswan, marvel at the majestic beauty of the temples of Abu Simbel, where history is etched into every stone. For a truly magical experience, catch the light and sound show that breathes life into these historical sites under the night sky.

Relaxation and Exploration on the Red Sea Coast

For families who enjoy a mix of relaxation and adventure, Egypt's Red Sea coast is unparalleled. The serene beaches of Sharm El-Sheikh provide a perfect backdrop for unwinding, while the crystal-clear waters are a playground for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts eager to discover vibrant coral reefs and marine life.

Be prepared for a modest society. Both men and women generally cover their shoulders and knees, and visitors should do the same out of respect.

As a travel agent, it was very easy to work with Goway. They were very responsive, especially Osvaldo Gonzalez, even when the client wanted to make in-destination changes a day or two prior. My clients absolutely enjoyed everything about their trip to Costa Rica - they specifically mentioned that all the drivers and guides they had were excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to use Goway again for a custom trip to Costa Rica. Shawna Woods Roy

We, three couples, all enjoyed our time in Peru, despite the small amount of time we had, and the fact one person had injury while on the cruise prior to arriving in Lima. We did want to experience Machu Picchu without spending as many days as others usually do, since we had been traveling prior to that already. Kajal at Goway was able to tailor a well packed three-day private tour for our small group of six. Every detail, from the moment we got off the cruise ship, to Cusco, to Machu Picchu, and back to Lima airport hotel, was well taken care of. Kajal was very efficient in helping with the requested itinerary, and in staying on desired budget, as well answered all questions in timely fashion. We were able to accomplish what we were not sure if possible, all thanks to Kajal at Goway. Our experience in Peru was very positive. We felt the tours organized by Goway had enabled us to have great and impressive exposure to Peruvian culture and important historical sights - all 31 hours in 3 days!!! Condor Travel in Peru took care of us every step of the way. Every person we came across was very courteous, willing, and helpful. Help was always there and questions answered quickly via Whatsapp. All in all a great and positive experience we would highly recommend.KM

I want to personally thank my Travel Agent Alice Teramoto who organized two spectacular trips for me! One to Australia and most recently Vietnam and Cambodia. She nailed it! I can’t express my gratitude enough! Both trips were flawless and hassle free! Every experience exceeded my expectations! I spent my 60th Birthday in Vietnam on the Lunar New Year which was a complete thrill! I highly recommend Alice and will definitely book with her again soon! Thanks so much Alice ♥️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Avril

Mary G. was an absolute pleasure to work with. I partner with Goway often for Europe and typically have my go to rep, so stepping outside of that for a New Zealand itinerary had me a little unsure at first. That hesitation quickly disappeared. Mary stepped in with confidence, handled all of my moving pieces with ease, and truly understood the level of detail I needed to take care of my clients. She delivered a beautifully curated itinerary that exceeded expectations, and most importantly, my clients had an incredible experience in New Zealand. I’m so grateful to have her as a resource and look forward to working together again.Nichole Pierce

Joanna was amazing!!! She was able to set up a ten day trip for me in Sydney in a matter of a couple of weeks. All accommodation and tours were amazing and the 24 hour help center was great and where able to call up the tour company and have them come and still pick be up when I had a mixup with the reservation. Would definitely recommend Goway to any friends and family and will definitely be using them again.Erica Wolff

I cannot sing Erin’s praises enough! She planned an action-packed two-week New Zealand itinerary that hit every single stop on our bucket list. Every experience was truly first-class and luxurious. While I found myself being price-conscious initially, once I saw the incredible quality of the experiences she curated, I knew it was going to be the trip of a lifetime. A huge thank you to Erin and Go Way Travel for making my 50th birthday so epic. We’ll definitely be reaching out for our next big adventure!Michelle

This was my second time working with Taha Colombowala, Group Specialist. Our journey to Ghana was top notch! 🇬🇭 The accommodations, curated tours, and coordination with the team on the ground made the this trip quite amazing. Taha was very supportive throughout the entire process. Goway makes me look like a superstar with my clients!! I am already planning new itineraries. Denise Watkins

I booked this trip to Adelaide with Goway, after using them before when we explored the 'big' sites of Australia. This time, we went to Adelaide to go to three of the top wine growing areas for wine tastings. We were a small group of 4 people. It was made better as the vendor used Small Batch Wine Tours for all of our excursions. They were fantastic making us the only travelers on these tours. Matthew, the owner, even adjusted our wineries on the last day to go to different place. This place totally marked off everything we were looking for in wine. Ended up buying a couple of bottles. Between Goway setting it up and Small Batch Wine Tours running the actual tours we had a beautiful and seamless trip. not applicable
