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.

Allan Birkett at Goway has been an absolute godsend! Over the past year, he has helped me plan numerous vacations—especially honeymoons—and has been an incredible partner every step of the way. He is always quick to respond, patient with my clients' frequent changes, and goes above and beyond to help whenever an issue comes up. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication make my job as a travel advisor so much easier. I truly appreciate everything Allan does and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional service. Thank you, Allan, for always being thereBrooke Echols

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay
