What makes Goway’s Asia tours different? Not only does Goway really know Asia having been offering travel to this part of the world for a large number of years but included are additional features which are not usually found in other tours. An example is the Fun Themes which vary according to the departure such as Cuisines of the Region, Geography and History and Lifestyles and Ethnic Cultures.

All tour departures include tipping; special dinners and Goway’s twin share guarantee a benefit for single travellers. Goway will match them with someone of the same sex avoiding the single room supplement. If this option is taken up and there is no one else wishing to share, a single room is provided at no additional cost. Additionally a quality Travel Companion booklet with a wealth of destination information and a souvenir group photograph at the end of the tour are provided.

Goway’s professional Tour Directors who accompany the groups from North America know Asia intimately having been there repeatedly.

Goway does not hesitate to call these tours, the best escorted tours from North America to Asia. Prices from other Canadian cities available on request.
