Engage with Egypt’s Rich History

Embarking on one of the many custom vacation packages to Egypt takes you deep into the world’s most illustrious historical treasures. Pyramids rise majestically from the desert sands, echoing enigmatic tales from a bygone era. A journey to the Great Pyramid of Giza and the enigmatic Sphinx is a spellbinding experience, drawing you into the heart of Egyptian antiquity.

Cruise the Legendary Nile

No custom trip to Egypt is complete without witnessing the life-giving waters of the Nile River. A cruise along this fabled river not only offers a unique perspective of Egypt’s eternal cities but also unfolds the lush, rural landscapes that have thrived along its banks for millennia. These landscapes offer perfect opportunities for those looking for tranquility, cultural interaction, or adventures that connect you with the locals.

Modern Adventures Await

The vibrant streets of Cairo keep the past alive with bustling bazaars and aromatic aromas drifting through the city's air. Delve into the labyrinthine corridors of Khan El Khalili, an iconic souk where time seems to stand still amidst vibrant textiles, exquisite silverware, and the intoxicating scent of spices. Whether you are negotiating with friendly vendors or sipping mint tea in a traditional café, each moment here feels like a journey back in time.

Moreover, the burgeoning contemporary art scene in modern Cairo and Alexandria stands as a testament to Egypt’s evolving urban landscapes. With art galleries and public spaces brimming with creativity, these cities extend an invitation to engage with Egypt's present-day cultural pulse.

Culinary Explorations

Food lovers embarking on trips to Egypt can indulge in a feast of flavours that spans the centuries. Traditional dishes like koshari and molokhia provide hearty introductions to Egyptian cuisine, while street foods such as falafel and shawarma delight the senses with their rich tastes and textures. Culinary tours are increasingly popular additions to custom vacation packages, allowing gastronomes to savor Egypt’s culinary delights intimately.

Toward the Desert's Horizon

For those seeking adventure, the golden sands of the Sahara beckon with promises of thrilling expeditions. Explore the breathtaking beauty of the Black and White Deserts, where dramatic landscapes of volcanic formations and pristine sand dunes create striking contrasts against azure skies. Desert safaris offer exhilarating rides across dunes and quiet nights beneath stars that shine like diamonds in the clear night sky.

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.

Bijal and Martin (tour guide in Kenya) made this the trip of a lifetime. I felt safe every minute of the trip. I did not care for the travel from the Serengeti to Ngorogoro Crater. I felt the last hotel was too far from the crater i was exhausted not wanted to travel to the crater. The travel was absolutely brutal for 6 hoursKathie Becker

Our safari in Tanzania was excellent. Brooke Theron, our Goway representative, was easy to work with, responsive and knowledgeable. Our guide in Tanzania, Anwar Razak, was outstanding. His knowledge and his driving ability was impressive. He was also engaging. We enjoyed our time with Anwar. The camps that Goway recommended were comfortable, welcoming and surprisingly luxurious while capturing the essence of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We had a wonderful trip. Jack B.

I am so happy to use Goway for my tour experience while visiting Vietnam during Oct 15 through October 29, 2026. We had 3 very good, thoughtful, and caring guides in Hanoi, Danang, and Ho Chi Minh City. They were very knowledgeable for each of their respective areas. they all fulfilled every part of our itinerary. I wish to give an extra acknowledgment to my guide in Danang and Hoi An. Mr. Phung Van Hung was very friendly and caring for me. During my stay in Hoi An, I became sick and required a visit to the local hospital in Hoi An. I contacted Mr. Phung, and he graciously offered to take me and stay with me to interpret during my visit for medical care even though he was not working that day. I really appreciate his extra above and beyond service he provided. I really must let Goway know, he is a wonderful guide!George C.

Suzzette and her team provided exceptional support throughout our year‑long planning process for our Bali group. Despite multiple changes, updates, and last‑minute cancellations, she remained organized, responsive, and solution‑focused. Asia Trails Indonesia delivered a seamless experience from arrival to departure, and our guides, Dayu and Adit, were outstanding; prompt, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. The coordination across multiple departure cities, the curated excursions, and the overall flow of the itinerary were executed beautifully. My group thoroughly enjoyed the trip and is already asking about returning. I highly recommend Suzzette as a group coordinator for her professionalism, dedication, and high‑quality service.Anchored Memories Travel

Mike K. graciously provided us with a perfect itinerary, offering us flexible high quality options for our trip. We added in a few complex details and he maneuvered around them creating smooth transitions. Planning an overseas 11 day trip can be overwhelming and Mike made everything feel easy. I highly recommend!Amy Challgren

Goway staff was available to us throughout our entire trip to Costa Rica. Their involvement was seamless and surprisingly smooth between them and all of our hotels and tours. We have been totally impressed with their involvement with our travel agent and their complete resolution of the only problem we had during the 2 different international trips that we have taken.Diana McCrory

Thank you to Goway for a great and enjoyable 7 day tour in China, for our Canadian group of 14! Very special thanks to the local guides in Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing ( Richard, Richard and James) who were second to none! Each was a knowledgeable ambassador for their home city, working hard to ensure our enjoyment and comfort, and to showcase the beauty of each area and its current and historical sites. They very kindly and patiently assisted everyone, and especially accommodated 2 of our group who encountered unexpected wellness challenges. The local bus drivers for our group were experts too, keeping us on time and safe on the roads and highways. Hotels were beautiful, welcoming, well located and appointed, quiet, comfortable and clean. Additional travel arrangements by air and high speed train went off without a hitch. KATHLEEN LLOYD

This was the first time we used Goway Travel and Brooke Theron was absolutely the best to deal with. Our safari in Africa was fabulous and we were able to have all four questions answered before we left. It was a trip to remember and we would recommend both Brooke and Goway to other who are looking for a great experience. Thanks Brooke and Goway.Joyce Robinson
