Scottish Journey Blue Roads Tour

Very happy with our Scottish Journey Blue Roads Tour. The tour, the tour guide, hotels, food, our fellow travellers and all the arrangements made by GoWay Travel were excellent. Gina Dorey of GoWay put this together and as with previous travel she arranged all fell into place seamlessly.

Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands

The person who helped plan the trip, Ruthanne was fantastic. I loved the hotel and the ship in Galapagos was just right. Alex and Gabriel were my guide and driver in Quito and they were perfect! Alex is very knowledgeable about his country and speaks wonderful English. Gabriel navigated the roads very quickly but I did not feel unsafe. The experiences that were planned were perfect.

Go and enjoy!

We have just arrived home from a fantastic trip to Japan, Taiwan and South Korea. Leo was our Goway guru and took care of all the details for us. Our english speaking guides were first class and made sure we were taken care of and well looked after. The drivers were excellent as were the hotels. We used Goway for a South African trip last year and over the years trips to China, Cambodia Norway, Chile, Argentina, Peru and Thailand. We have never once had any issues or concerns, everything has always gone to plan. It certainly makes for a less stressful experience and for us has been ideal when we have been in Countries where English is not the first language. Thank you Goway for all the wonderful memories we have of these well planned trips.

I traveled to Australia in March 2024…

I traveled to Australia in March 2024 and had a wonderful time! All transfers from airports to hotels and from hotels to arranged excursions went flawlessly. I was provided an emergency number and email in case of any problems. As luck would have it, my flight from LAX to Sydney was canceled due to airline issues and moved to the next day. I contacted the emergency number and they were able to let the hotel and transportation company know about the change. My trip was planned around what I wanted to do and see. I would recommend Goway Travel for your travel needs!

Africa at it's best!

This was the best vacation ever. The guides Christopher, Freddy and Daniel were very knowledgeable and detailed in every aspect of the trip. We saw and did everything on my bucket list from breakfast with hippos to hot air balloon ride. Highly recommend for a trip of a lifetime. Until we meet again, thank you. Ariel Soto

Greetings. We have made it back home safe and sound. I wanted to thank Frank (Goway Travel) for everything you did to make this trip possible. Faheem and Frahan were OUTSTANDING we started as friends but left as family. The trip was fantastic. We cannot speak highly enough about Faheem and Frahan and the job they did taking us around Dubai. The customer service was above and beyond expectations. All I can say is if there were more people like them in this world, what a better world we would live in. God Bless. Once again, Thank you for everything.

Expert coordination and perfectly curated experiences…

We just returned from a fabulous trip to Thailand. This was our first time booking with GoWay Travel and we couldn’t be happier. From the initial contact with our travel advisor, Taryn, to the follow up phone call once returned home, every person and aspect of their customer service and care is phenomenal. Each person GoWay trusted to help us during our stay in Thailand went above and beyond to ensure we had the absolute best time and zero worries. We stayed in 6 different resorts and had countless private transports and excursions along the way that were seamlessly coordinated and expertly curated. This trip and the professional handling of all the details exceeded our expectations and we will absolutely use them again for future travel. We’ve already referred GoWay to several friends and family!

Cristy in the Groups Department

I am writing to you to point out Cristy Patterson in your groups department. Her hard work and dedication saved our last-minute Germany group of college students. The amount of effort and her commitment to making this happen was unbelievable. The outcome for this group was perfect because of her. We work with many tour operators and know to find someone like her demonstrating extra effort is hard to find. You are very lucky to have such a dedicated team member. I look forward to using her for all future groups.

Christopher Mutuku - 5 STARS Tour Guide

I just returned back from our African trip with GoWay and I wanted to give praises to our Guide Christopher Mutuku from Sense of Africa. I can honestly say that our trip was simply amazing, all because of our wonderful guide Christopher. His knowledge of the country, the culture and the animals was unbelievable. He took the time to educate us on all the things and made learning so much fun. We spent a lot of the time in the jeep and he encouraged us to ask all the questions. He has a sense of humor that made our jeep time so much fun. By the end of the safari, we were all experts at naming the animals and describing the details and habits of each one. He has a gift for sharing his love of his country with others. He went above and beyond each and every day to make sure we were all taken care of and were ready to have the best day. He truly is a difference maker and we were so blessed to have had him as our guide. We came home with memories to last a lifetime thanks to Christopher. Sense of Africa is blessed to have such a talented, knowledgeable, warm hearted, funny, caring and remarkable guide in Christopher. I can't wait to come back and have Christopher again as our guide.

Peru & Mexico Trip

We've used Goway many times now and always had the most positive experiences - This time, we had the pleasure of working with Luis Lagunes. On a kickoff call Luis received our interests, provided expert local wisdom, and guided us to review some amazing experiences we didn't even know about! Normally we review the itinerary provided and make several changes but Luis quickly put together an incredible itinerary that hit on all of our desires and it was one of the most efficient trip planning ventures we have had. Thank you Luis and Goway!

Go Away, GOWAY Travel!

My travel agent used this pathetic company to arrange my flights from Canada to Iceland to Norway and return. Big mistake! First, they said Porter would interline my luggage to Icelandair in Toronto. NO, it will not. Porter is not a member of Star Alliance so passengers must hump their bags themselves to where they check-in with Icelandair. There are no signs from domestic Porter pick-up to international Icelandair drop-off at Toronto Pearson airport. When questioned, GOWAY Travel finally admitted they were wrong, and I would have to transfer bags myself. Sure, I can do it but why pay GOWAY Travel to give incorrect flight info? Useless group. GOWAY Travel’s return arrangements were much worse. My Icelandair flight from Oslo to Reykjavik departed and arrived on time. But had the GOWAY incompetent agents booked me on the next Icelandair connecting Reykjavik-Toronto flight? No way! Instead of booking me in FI603 they booked me on much later flight FI605. I spent hours in the Saga lounge as FI603 left for Toronto and FI605 remained in the flight lineup. But then FI605 was late departing Reykjavik, was late arriving in Toronto causing me to miss my connecting Porter PD179 flight. It was the last one to Ottawa, so I slept overnight in the airport. Next morning I had to pay full last minute price for a new flight to Ottawa. No help from GOWAY Travel, of course. A complaint to the Canadian Transportation Agency is pending. GOWAY Travel agents to whom I spoke had limited knowledge and/or experience making coherent flight arrangements. Apologies are useless. Agents are not available if you run into travel trouble. I suspect many of their positive online reviews have been arranged. This is an amateur operation in Toronto. GO AWAY, GOWAY Travel!

Wonderful Italy vacation

We cannot thank our travel agent Pierre Caron along with Goway enough for organizing our wonderful and memorable trip to Italy. We visited Milan, Venice, Florence, Sorrento and Rome. The hotel locations in each city were perfect and the transportation via train and the transfers were all amazing. Such a beautiful experience and one we will forever be grateful for. Once again, thank you so very much Pierre and Goway.

Kenya safari paradise!

I wanted to reach out to Goway to express my thanks for providing our safari with such a wonderful group of people who made our trip unforgettable and just an all around amazing experience! Maisilyn, Freddie, Daniel and Christopher were all lovely people, and so very friendly and helpful throughout our tour. Our jeep's guide Christopher was the absolute best! He was the point person for the overall group and he did an excellent job of driving, coordinating the jeeps, dealing with the lodges, and game driving! He was able to show us the big 5 within our first two days of game drives, allowing us to capture beautiful photos of all the animals. He also has extensive knowledge of animals, birds and plants on all the reserves we visited. I can now tell you about the 3 different types of giraffes, the difference between a white and black rhino, the two zebra varieties, point out an Egyptian goose, the hunting patterns of a pride of lions, and the list goes on! It made the trip even more fun to learn all about what we were seeing. As we drove from one reserve to the next, Christopher answered our endless list of questions about where we were, the towns we drove through and the culture of the people. It is evident that Christopher has genuine love for what he does and it shines through in how he treats all of his customers. He is passionate about making sure everyone is taken care of and has a wonderful time. Thanks to his great service, I came away from the trip feeling blessed for all that we saw and experienced and I am already figuring out when I can come back again. Thank you again for facilitating the trip of a lifetime (so far!) with this professional and dedicated group of people.

Steve + Japan = Perfect Experience

Steve was a fabulous agent to collaborate with on my first booking for Japan! He provided me with thorough advice on the best options for my clients, took their needs into consideration, and maintained consistent communication with me at all times. We created a trusted partnership that will most definitely have me returning to Goway with clients in the future.

Amazing time in Italy

My multigenerational family just returned from Italy and had an amazing time. Everything that was booked through Goway Travel was seamless.

Private transfers went very well. They LOVED it. Thank you Goway
