    @ Karnak Temple in Egypt
    Tanesha J.

    Whew! I don't even know where to begin. My trip to Egypt was absolutely A-freakin-mazing!!! Initially I was skeptical about booking through Travel discounters because I read so many negative reviews on trip advisor but I took a gamble because it was a little cheaper than some of the other tours I've seen and I really wanted to cross it off my bucket list, and I'm glad that I did. It was truly a life changing experience. Travel discounters showed up and showed out! Everything was so very well organized and my tour guides were amazing! So amazing that we're Facebook friends and still keep in contact to this day. Some of my guides were scholars who wrote books and were in school pursuing their graduate degrees. They were extremely knowledgeable and so informative. I learned so much and gained such a great appreciation for the people, the culture & the country. On my last day before leaving Egypt I literally cried as I had gained such a strong connection to something so unfamiliar to me. It was such an overwhelming, yet fantastic experience. The hotel accommodations were 5 star, and the food and included tours were incredible. I did all of the extra tours that weren't included such as the pyramid light show which was fascinating, and the sunrise hot air balloon ride. It was so breathtaking it left me in awe. The temples were just as phenomenal as well as the Nile river cruise. I had a small group that I toured with. It was about 8 people in total which was super cool. I love small groups. I got all that was mentioned in the itinerary and more. The flight on Turkish airlines was just fabulous. I Would fly with them again in a heartbeat. It's unfortunate to see so many negative reviews about travel discounters. I do know that each tour is different based on the location, the tour guides,... etc but if you're thinking about going to Egypt thru this agency, BOOK THE TRIP!!! I can only vouch for my experience and can only hope that you have an amazing experience as I did. It was truly spectacular!!!

    Booked a safari to Kenya through this company and yes it was pretty amazing. We stayed at three different lodges and went on numerous game drives where we ended up seeing all the big 5 and sooo much more. The most exciting part was seeing a young lion eating a baby buffalo (yes, pretty gross yet so amazing!). The drivers can get pretty close to the animals so you can take some amazing pictures. Most of the days are planned for you which I really like. It also included most of the breakfasts, lunches and dinners. When booking this trip I tried to look for reviews of the company but it was very hard to find anything recent. Our rep that was helping us book it was very responsive and always answered our emails that were filled with questions which I really appreciated. Now for some of the bad parts. The vans that we were in were very old and not the most comfortable. For one of the drives to the lodge the road is all dirt and rocks so if you have a weak stomach be very careful as it might not be the best for you. The lodges are not the most amazing and clean places but they were enough for us. We actually didn't have any mosquitos which I was surprised by. There are extra excursions that you can add on but they are very expensive through this company. We found a separate company and booked a driver for much cheaper that drove us to all the places that were not part of the trip that we really wanted to see. It definitely wasn't a cheap trip but I had an amazing time!!!!

    Thank you for making our African adventure a once-in-a-lifetime experience. To say it was a memorable trip is an understatement. We felt incredibly safe at all times, and definitely could not have managed planning such an intricate itinerary ourselves. From Capetown to Victoria Falls, We were impressed with the luxury, the people and the price! We've already recommended you to friends and family - Looking forward to planning our next holiday together in 2021.

    Petra!

    We used Goway for a trip to Tanzania for an 8 day Safari and 3 nights in Zanzibar. Everything went…read morewell until we were scheduled to go to Zanzibar. They selected a well known, unreliable, unsafe airline, Precision Airways. Our flight to Zanzibar was cancelled twice. We were supposed to fly at 2:45 pm and ultimately ended up on an 11:40 pm flight, which was then delayed until 1:30 am. We saw our plane land,de-board, then immediately put us all on the plane with 0 safety checks. They also overbooked the flight and sat 2 passengers in the flight attendant seats. On the plane, it was incredibly hot, tray tables were broken, as well as the bathroom door. Once we landed, they had lost my sisters luggage. We spent our entire time in Zanzibar trying to get her luggage back, which we finally did with no help from Goway. Another passenger had mentioned her flight was cancelled 6 times with Precison on her way to Tanzania. Very disappointed in them putting us on an airline well know for doing things like this, with no warning. And the lack of support was appalling.

    Central and South American Issues:…read more 1. I don't know what the quality of the other hotels in Guatemala City are but I would consider the Clarion to be only fair. 2. The transfer from Flores Airport to Flores Hotel on island. No one was there to pick me up at the airport, so I had to get my own transportation to hotel and I pay for it. The airport taxi driver dropped me off three blocks from my hotel and I had walked to the hotel. The taxi driver said, cars are not allowed on the island. I checked with the hotel and they say that was not true. I was reimbursed later by the tour company who was supposed to pick me up. The driver who came to pick me up to drive me to Belize drove right up to the hotel front door. Note; this driver was 45 minutes late picking me up. He said, he received a Goway Travel pickup time for me as 9am not 8am. Bad communication! See Laos Luang Prabang pickup - Southeast Asia. 3. The tour guide for the Xunantunich tour left me at the end of my tour at the Temple so that he could start another tour and I had to find my way back to the bus to the hotel. One thing about the Belize hotel (Table Rock) it was very nice! 4. The tour guide who picked me up at the Guatemala Belize boarder almost took me to the wrong resort. It was my observation of the street name that caught this mistake. 5. This is one of the issues I expect restitution for! On my plane flight from Cancun to Lima (five and a half hour flight). My aisle seat was changed from isle to last row middle seat which backup to the bulkhead. I have never been more miserable for five and a half hours in my whole life. I was supposed to be booked on isle seats. No one wants to identify how my seat got changed. 6. Luggage issues if I hadn't been paying attention, three times, Cancun to Lima, Lima to Santiago and Santiago to Puerto Natales. Latam Airlines tried booking my luggage to the last available check-in location on my flight bookings. I personally had to continuing checking my flight schedule to make sure my luggage was not booked through to the wrong stop location. Meaning Cancun to Lima not Santiago, then Lima to Santiago not Puerto Natales and then Puerto Natales back to Santiago. 7. Lima tour to Nazca lines. Transfer from hotel to bus station didn't leave enough time due to traffic so I missed my scheduled time. Luckily there was another bus 30 minutes later but I had to pay for that ticket out of my own pocket. The tour company (shuttle) did reimburse me. 8. Spend hours trying to find and English website where we could apply for our Easter Island arrival cards. Frustrating! See Southeast Asian tour with regards to getting help with arrival cards. 9. Goway Travel agent said, Carol could not change her ticket to my 11am departure to Easter Island due to the ticket type she purchased. Well, last night when we arrived in Santiago, we went to the Latam Airlines desk and they booked Carol (my wife) on my flight no problem. We even got seats together. I don't know if this change was not possible when I talked to my Goway agent or was just being lazy! 10. This is one the second issue I expect restitution for! Easter Island hotel issues - no room internet (checked with other hotel guest and they had internet with no issues) and no hot water. Had to sit in the hotel lobby with the mosquitos to get internet service. Gowany email correspondence regarding Easter Island hotel: note third paragraph. Why I am I doing your job? I am so sorry to hear about the troubles you had during your trip. We can discuss once you return and go over everything together. In the meantime, I have asked for space at other hotels for the last two nights with our supplier. This may take at least 24 hours to amend as I have to wait for her response from Chile. Did you try contacting them locally as well? Or in destination supplier Southbound may be able to get resolution faster for you as they are on the ground in Chile. My comment: I finally gave up fighting for internet service, hot water and moving to another hotel as we only had one night left. 11. Latest issue Easter Island, tour scheduled received from Goway and what we received from tour pickup guide (see below) were different. See Goway Day 15 December 3, 2025 itinerary schedule. We had to correct this with the tour company. If you should see fit reimbursing me for all the time (hours) I spent fixing Goway Travel issues, it would be much appreciated. Working this issue now. John Primdahl P.S. I am hoping my Asian trip goes much better! Sent from my iPhone Southeast Asian tour: only one issue otherwise the tour was stress and headache free: Goway Travel Southeast Asian booking agent was top notched for this part of my tour making sure I received all visa(s) (Vietnam, Bhutan) and helped with getting arrival cards, flights bookings when I was having internet issues and made sure I got my isle seat. Only issue, was at Laung Prabang Airport. N

    I booked flights and car rental for my recent trip to Florida. There were many choices for the car…read morerental companies so, being Canadian, I chose a company (RIGHT CAR) that quoted in Canadian dollars. The price was good but I believed it was due to the fact that you had to take a shuttle to their location. Big mistake! After being shuttled to RIGHT CAR and completing paperwork, the proprietors asked for Insurance confirmation which I provided. I was then told that RIGHT CAR does not accept Canadian insurance. Ultimately I was told I would have to pay a daily insurance fee on top of the rental fee. Needless to say, I did not use their services but was not reimbursed by them. So I was out my money. I contacted Expedia and, although they tried, they could not obtain a full or partial reimbursement. My complaint about EXPEDIA is that they should not deal with a company that does not accept Canadian Insurance. If they do, they should have full disclosure advising that RIGHT CAR does NOT accept Canadian Insurance.

    I was just like everybody else, a cancelled flight due to COVID and an email from Flight Network I…read morehave a future travel credit. No code, no mention of even how much credit exactly. Luckily I had a few different emails from them: skedchange at flightnetwork.com and fnonline at flightnetwork.com. Also, on one of the emails, the agent identified themselves with a name, address in Canada and Canadian phone number. When I tried to re-book, I called multiple different numbers trying to avoid ones (if there were any) that connect me to the call center in India. One of the agents told me they can't help me with re-booking and that they'll have the sales department call me in 48-72 hours, sound familiar? On top of that, that timeframe would have ended up being the weekend so I gave up on getting my money back or a re-booked flight. They called me on Monday! The phone call felt different, it came from a Canadian number +1(647)956-0177, very little background noise (didn't feel like a busy Indian call-center although the agent clearly had an Indian accent and name). At first, I thought ok, I only have to pay ~$100 difference, that's normal but then he said after taxes and everything, it would be $700 for a re-booked flight... with my travel credit of ~$630 applied = over $1300 total for the flight. I checked the airline's website, a brand new ticket (without any travel credit applied) would have cost me $700. I started asking why that is and it doesn't make sense and that I don't wanna lose my money and that I really want to do business with Flight Network but my budget doesn't allow it. After 5 minutes of essentially trying to get the agent to sympathize with me but NOT BEING RUDE, he said Flight Network can't issue me a refund but they can ask the airline to issue me a refund. He said he needs to hang up and talk to the airline and will call me in the next 24 hours so I thought ok, that was it, he saw he can't scam me anymore so they're hanging up. He called me back within 1 HOUR, saying the airline will refund me 100%!!! Next, he wanted $30 handling fee which I thought was a low price to pay for getting my ticket money back (plus I can always dispute the payment on my credit card if it ends up being a scam). I received an official email for payment receipt and another confirming that they'll try to get a full refund. He gave me 6-8 weeks timeline to get the refund which I've heard is pretty standard... I got my full refund 2 days after that last phone call with Flight Network! I know it probably differs from most people's experience and I was the same but maybe the fact that I was trying to haggle with him in a RESPECTFUL manner (regardless whether they deserve it or not) that got me my refund. Here's another phone number that I had more luck with: 1.800.671.5032 ext 2866

Per Flight Network's refund policy, I am entitled to a refund once I provide medical proof of illness, and the duration is 6 days after receipt. But that's not what happened. Since providing my proof of illness in December, I have not received a single response from them. I have contacted them by phone many times, and the excuses have been almost verbatim, independent of the agent on the other side of the line. I am now convinced that they will not provide me with any refund. Their service fee is often 100% or more of the original ticket cost. They don't do right by their customers on refunds. Stay away!
