Discover the Timeless Heritage of Valletta

As you meander through its narrow cobblestone streets, you'll uncover architectural masterpieces such as St. John's Co-Cathedral, where the opulent Baroque interior astonishes visitors with its intricate artistry.

Engage with History at the Grandmaster's Palace

Among the must-see things in Malta, the Grandmaster’s Palace is a highlight, offering a peek into the island's grandiose past. Its ornate rooms and legendary armoury beckon history enthusiasts and curious travellers alike.

Embrace the Serenity of the Blue Grotto

Embark on one of the best Malta tours to the Blue Grotto, where natural wonders unveil themselves in a stunning display of sunlight and sea. Here, crystal-clear waters echo hues of brilliant blue, inviting visitors to experience enchanting boat tours and explore the hidden sea caves.

Soak in the Sun at Golden Sands

For those who adore sun-drenched beaches, Malta vacations wouldn't be complete without a visit to Golden Sands. This picturesque bay is perfect for unwinding and enjoying some of the finest coastline the Mediterranean has to offer. With its golden sand and inviting waters, it’s a haven for beach lovers.

Dive into the Mythical Beauty of Gozo

A short ferry ride away lies Gozo, Malta's sister island known for its rugged landscapes and tranquil atmosphere. Delight in the rural charm and discover majestic sites such as the Gigantia Temples, considered some of the world’s oldest free-standing structures.

A Culinary Delight: Savoring Maltese Cuisine

Exploring the culinary side of Malta, relish in traditional dishes like pastizzi – flaky pastries filled with ricotta or mushy peas – and sample the famous rabbit stew, fenkata. These flavours are a unique reflection of Malta’s diverse history and are sure to tantalize your taste buds.

Immerse Yourself in Maltese Culture

Malta's vibrant cultural scene is best experienced through its numerous festivals, which celebrate everything from folk music to fireworks. Engaging with locals during these events provides a genuine insight into the island's warm and hospitable spirit.

Explore the Stunning Architecture of Mdina

Journey into the silent city of Mdina, where medieval walls whisper tales of times gone by. Known for its stunning architecture and serene ambience, this former capital is a picturesque setting for exploration.

Practical Tips for Your Malta Adventure

To make the most of your Malta vacations, consider visiting outside peak tourist season when the weather is pleasant and the sites are less crowded. Public transportation across the islands is reliable, but renting a car offers the freedom to explore at your own pace.

Whether you find yourself basking in the Mediterranean sun, diving into the depths of its crystal waters, or strolling through its ancient streets, Malta truly is a destination rich in both adventure and relaxation. It's a tapestry of historical wonders and natural beauty waiting to be discovered.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.

What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.

Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.

I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.

This is an excellent tour agency that provides an excellent, all inclusive safari experience in South Africa, especially in the renown Kruger National Park. The agency will provide a very detailed, day-by-day itinerary of the trip, which, for the most part, describes exactly the order of activities that a customer will experience from start to end of the reserved trip. Our safari trip included a hotel pick-up in Cape Town in the beginning of the safari trip and drop-off at the end of the trip. Flights to and from either Johannesburg or Mpumalanga airport are included. We reserved a 3-day safari trip which included an afternoon safari the first day, a full day safari the 2nd day, and a morning safari the 3rd day. The lodge where we stayed was very clean with modern and convenient accommodations, including WIFI and breakfast. The guides are well trained and very knowledgeable about all animals we came across during our trip, and were also very courteous, polite and easy to engage in conversation. They made our safari trip exciting but safe! I would highly recommend this safari tour agency. Christos Patriotis

I had an amazing trip. It was more than I could have expected. I got to see everything I wished to see while I was abroad. All the guides were lovely and provided me with excellent knowledge on their cities/tours. Especially in China where it was their holiday week and they all took time away from their families to make me around their cities. The tour company in Japan made sure I got to every tour destination and knew what the plan was for each day. This is the second time I have used Goway for traveling and it has exceeded my expectations. katieahotmail.com

We just returned from a 2 week tour of South Africa, Zimbabwe(Victoria Falls) and Botswana, and had a fabulous time! This was the third tour I've used Goway, and as usual, it was such a positive experience! The accommodations that were booked were awesome! The hotels were luxurious, clean and the staff, all so warm and welcoming! Our travel agent, Vanessa Lloyd, did a fabulous job arranging everything, and was always available to answer my many questions! We'll be using them again, next year when we take a family trip to the Greek Islands and Turkey! They are always consistent in the quality of the hotels and experiences, and I highly recommend them for your travel needs!Fran Nitta Barnes

We are still on our journey in Italy. At Capri now and heading to the Amalfi Coast. So far, we can’t thank Goway enough for putting our itinerary together so quickly. Everything is going well and hope the next 10 days are perfect too. Gladys Vivian

Can't say enough good things about Goway Travel. From the very start, our travel rep, Harpreet, listened carefully to what we were hoping to see and do on our first trip to Japan. She asked great questions and then came back to us with a detailed itinerary packed with adventure and fun, and all within our travel budget. From the moment we took off from LAX, Harpreet had made sure we had every tour voucher, hotel voucher, plane ticket, train ticket, literally every detail covered. All we had to do was follow our itinerary. Also, Harpreet booked us into terrific hotels. Each one was spotlessly clean, comfortable, included a full (and delicious) breakfast and, most importantly, was centrally located to all of the activities she had planned for us. So everything was a 5 or 10-minute walk away. In three weeks' time we were able to visit six cities and so many fascinating shrines, temples, castles, imperial palaces - most of which were World Heritage sites. Harpreet also tucked in fabulous "experiences" like learning how to make sushi with a professional chef, enjoying a tea ceremony and watching graceful Geishas dance. My husband and I are seasoned travelers. But we don't speak Japanese and we really knew very little about the country. There is no way we would have been able to see and do all of the fascinating things we did in Japan if we hadn't chosen Goway Travel to be our guide. Many thanks for an unforgettable trip!

Great country (Italy), great people and love the feel you get by just being you. Ingrid Aird did a great job with a pair of tours one private and one group. Organizing pickup from airport and flights. Hotel, Enterprise Hotel, after a bit of a rough start getting us into a proper room, was more than excellent.Thomas Helps

We were looking forward to a magical vacation in Greece, and Goway Travel delivered on all fronts. This is the second time that we have booked with them (the first being an incredible excursion in Thailand), and everything went along swimmingly. Only on one occasion did a tour go sideways, but our Goway specialist (Patrick) took care of it for us. When your tour involves many flights, numerous hotels, various tours, ferries, and transfers, it is nice to know that your travel specialist can handle it all. Goway (from Patrick to all the other staff involved) handled everything in such a professional manner. Thanks Goway for such an incredible experience in Greece. I look forward to another adventure in the near future!Jenny Friess

We recently returned from France - three cities in two weeks - and our trip was fantastic! Jacqueline helped us with a return to France with no worries and concerns. Drivers met us at every destination- hotels were superb and the individual tours memorable. This is a return vacation with Goway and we could not be more pleased. The customer service is top notch and all questions answered promptly. For us seniors, we appreciate all the thoughtfulness and consideration.ElizaGray

While researching suppliers for a clients Thailand honeymoon, I remembered being referred to GoWay by a longterm TA ….because they “get it right and get it done!” I had already started their training modules, so I put in a quote. Immediately, Taylor responded with a very thorough email and we decided to chat. I gave him my specifics and he again responded immediately and matched my client’s travel needs 100%. I found it comforting to speak with a country expert with the knowledge I needed. My clients booked their vacation and are very excited about their itinerary! Thank you Taylor for making this process seamless.Karla B
