Jerusalem: A Tapestry of Time

Jerusalem, a city that stands as a testament to centuries of diverse cultures and faiths, offers an experience like none other. In the heart of the city lies the Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage site where history comes alive with every step. Within its ancient walls, travellers can explore religious sites that hold deep significance to Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faiths; the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and Dome of the Rock each pull at the roots of belief.

Creating custom holiday trips to Israel provides the flexibility to dive deep into Jerusalem’s myriad hidden corners, perhaps joining a specialized tour that unveils less-visited spots—local markets overflowing with spices, and quaint streets echoing with tales of the past. Each turn of this city brings revelations as timeless as they are contemporary.

The Enigma of the Dead Sea

A short journey east leads you to the mesmerizing Dead Sea, an escape from the ordinary. Known for its mineral-rich waters that allow you to float effortlessly, this natural wonder is not just a place for relaxation but also a hub of rejuvenation. The mud, renowned for its healing properties, attracts health enthusiasts from around the globe, transforming their excursions into a blend of nature and wellness.

Custom travel packages to Israel offer travellers the chance to engage with nature’s bounty, ensuring their itinerary is tailored to absorb the full spectrum of unique experiences, from secluded beachside meditations to exhilarating off-road escapades in the surrounding desert landscapes.

The Vibrant Pulse of Tel Aviv

For those seeking a dynamic contrast to the sacred serenity of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv offers a vibrant urban life that hums with the rhythm of discovery and creativity. This city is a beacon of modernity, where art and innovation flourish amidst historic backdrops. Whether you're drawn to the eclectic nightlife, bustling Carmel Market, or the Bauhaus architecture of the White City, Tel Aviv promises a lively addition to any tour of Israel.

With custom travel packages, visitors can thread seamlessly from the tranquillity of a sunset beach stroll to the pulse of an urban beat, carving their path through Tel Aviv’s melting pot of cultures and lifestyles.

The Culinary Journeys

Israel’s culinary scene is a flavorful symphony that combines fresh ingredients with diverse influences. From the aromatic hum of spices in traditional shakshuka to the sweet kiss of a freshly baked babka, your taste buds are in for a feast.

Consider adding a food tour to your custom holiday trip to Israel. These tours of Israel allow enthusiasts to savour local delicacies and engage directly with vendors at bustling food markets. Such experiences deepen your connection with the place, transforming meals into stories of heritage and innovation.

Cultural and Historical Wonders

Beyond its cities, Israel’s landscapes ripple with layers of history and natural beauty. Venture to the north, where the Galilee’s rolling hills and verdant valleys provide a serene backdrop to outdoor adventures. Dip into the azure waters of the Sea of Galilee or explore archaeological treasures that pepper the countryside.

Custom holiday trips to Israel often incorporate visits to these pivotal sites, allowing you to bask in the majesty of nature while appreciating the rich tapestry of history that frames every corner of the land.

In the south, the stark yet stunning Negev Desert unfurls like an artist’s canvas, inviting exploration and reflection. Whether hiking Ramon Crater or experiencing traditional Bedouin hospitality under a starlit sky, the desert offers an unexpected yet captivating slice of Israel.

Your Israel Adventure Awaits

Embarking on tours of Israel promises a journey teeming with memorable adventures and soulful encounters. Opting for custom travel packages ensures your experience is as unique as your imagination; every itinerary can be crafted around personal interests, whether it's history, culture, spirituality, or adventure.

Are you ready to forge your path through Israel's terrain of contrasts? Pack your curiosity and let the journey sculpt new memories across this extraordinary land.

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
