Starting from just $4999, these tours include airfare from the west coast, accommodations, meals and great touring. Goway has also introduced guaranteed departures for the 2006/2007 travel season.

Goway has also refined their “Classic Tours”, a series of suggested itineraries that are priced at four levels of accommodation to allow the flexibility for travellers to choose their date of departure and budget. Sample tours include the 11 Day Classic Sydney Rock and Reef, starting at $1440 and because they are priced for land only, they allow travellers to take advantage of the latest airline specials or use frequent flier miles for part or all of the air travel arrangements.

Recognizing a need for greater flexibility and options for travellers, Goway has added tours such as hot air ballooning, wine tours, city walking tours, cultural tours, and even a jetlag recovery package!
