The Enchantment of Montevideo

Begin your adventure in Montevideo, Uruguay's vibrant capital. This city is a delightful mix of old-world charm and contemporary flair. A walk along La Rambla, a 22-kilometre-long waterfront promenade, offers picturesque views of the Río de la Plata. Explore the Ciudad Vieja with its historic buildings, art galleries, and bustling Saturday market—where you can sample local delicacies like chivito and mate.

Montevideo's cultural scene is equally captivating with numerous museums and theatres. Consider a custom travel package to Uruguay that includes a visit to the Teatro Solís, one of the oldest theatres in South America, for an unforgettable evening of traditional performances.

Charming Colonia del Sacramento

Step back in time in Colonia del Sacramento, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its cobblestone streets and well-preserved colonial architecture. This quaint town on the banks of the Río de la Plata is perfect for leisurely strolls, offering a peek into Uruguay's rich past. Discover unique attractions such as the historic lighthouse and the Portuguese Museum, or simply lose yourself in the charming alleyways.

When booking tours of Uruguay, a guided tour of Colonia del Sacramento can provide deeper insights into the historical significance and stories that shaped this beautiful town.

Punta del Este: The French Riviera of South America

No visit to Uruguay is complete without experiencing the glitz and glamour of Punta del Este. Known as the South American counterpart to the French Riviera, this beach resort city is a hotspot for sun-seekers and luxury enthusiasts. Bask under the Uruguayan sun on famous beaches like Playa Brava, marked by its iconic La Mano sculpture emerging from the sand.

For night owls, Punta del Este lights up with vibrant nightlife, offering a variety of clubs, casinos, and restaurants to explore. Bespoke tours of Uruguay often include this seaside gem, allowing travellers to indulge in both relaxation and excitement.

The Tranquility of the Uruguayan Countryside

Beyond its bustling urban centres, Uruguay offers serene countryside landscapes that beckon those searching for tranquility. The rolling hills and fertile vineyards of the Canelones region are ideal for embarking on a wine tour, indulging in some of Uruguay’s finest Tannat wine.

Tailored travel packages can lead you to estancias (traditional ranches), where you can experience the gaucho lifestyle firsthand, participating in horseback riding and savouring authentic asado (barbecue). These personalized travel packages to Uruguay provide a deeper connection with the country's rural roots and natural beauty.

Rich Cultural Tapestry

Uruguay's cultural tapestry is woven with influences from indigenous, Spanish, and African heritage, creating diverse festivals and traditions. Explore the Carnival of Montevideo, a month-long celebration filled with vibrant parades, music, and dance—each festivity an opportunity to connect with local customs and joie de vivre.

For music lovers, a visit during the Candombe festival is a must. This UNESCO-recognized festival is characterized by Afro-Uruguayan rhythms and dances that fill the streets with infectious energy.

With a myriad of experiences to offer, Uruguay is more than just a destination—it’s an invitation to immerse yourself in a world of exploration. Custom travel packages to Uruguay ensure that your journey is as unique as your sense of adventure, capturing the essence of this diverse nation with every step.

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.

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne

After spending some time with our agent, we felt that she understood exactly what we had in mind as far as the level of service, etc, we were hoping for. The trip exceeded our expectations. Lori kept us busy(not too busy!) and we had many, many very exciting experiences. Bruce Belshaw

Aylin is an exceptionally proficient advisor. Coordinating my clients simultaneously often feels like herding cats, but she has remained patient and accommodating through every modification and delay. Goway continues to be my go-to for complex itineraries, and they never disappoint.Nick Cron, ACC

My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 weeks in New Zealand! The country is so beautiful and the people so friendly. Our destination specialist did a great job with planning and organizing the itinerary, choosing our hotels, and organizing transportation. The hotels were absolutely beautiful and we had great views. We felt right at home and found all of the staff to be friendly and accommodating. There were no issues with our itinerary and our excursions we were always on the list. Our transportation was always ready and waiting for us. We want to thank Goway Travel for their hard work and patience with us in planning this trip. Any changes that needed to be made were communicated timely. We also want to thank you for the beautiful weather during the entire 2 weeks it was perfect every day 😀. It was a memorable trip that we will never forget and we will think of Goway when we plan our next adventure. Because it was not just a vacation; it was an adventure!Connie Wenhardt

Brigitta Fuller is Amazing! She was my group coordinator. She understood the assignment and all the nuances I was trying to achieve. The itinerary she curated was fantastic. If you want someone who truly cares about her group and what they are trying to achieve. I will always reach out to Brigitta first for Europe groups. Kathryn Walker

My clients had a wonderful time on their trip to Easter Island. They were very pleased with the Hare Nua Hotel Boutique and especially noted the warmth and hospitality of the hotel staff as well as their excellent breakfasts. Jaime Vargas-Hendandez was an exceptionally gracious and knowledgeable agent, who went out of his way to ensure that my clients had the best possible experience. I will definitely contact him for future bookings and will recommend him to my colleagues.Alethea Kardas
