Escorted Coach Touring Experiences Worldwide

One method of travel which takes the hassle out of wondering what to do today, tomorrow and the next day is travelling on a Escorted Coach Touring vacation. Everything is taken care of... hotels, sightseeing, entrance fees and all the planning of the itinerary.

You can be assured of a professional guide or escort who knows the region or country much better than any visitor and is an excellent source of information on the places to be visited as well as the country’s politics, every day life and customs. You will make friends with fellow travellers who come from all over the world. For single travellers, a motor coach tour is a perfect way to be part of a group with similar interests. Above all, a Escorted Coach Touring vacation is very much all-inclusive. And you know the price before you leave.

Goway offers this type of vacation comprehensively in Australia and New Zealand with tours ranging from 4 to 26 days and with excellent choices of itineraries. What better way to cover these vast land masses. And in Asia, you can spend a week touring between Singapore and Penang in Malaysia and fit this into your overall Asia vacation. Or you can consider a tour of the Philippines, viewing lush countryside and rice paddies. North Africa offers the opportunity to tour the ancient and exotic sites of Morocco and South Africa offers a variety of coach tour opportunities depending on the time available. Europe (where Goway offers a very large choice) is where escorted coach touring was invented.

So if it is a leisurely and enjoyable vacation you prefer and want to leave the driving to someone else, consider a Goway motor coach package.

WHY TAKE AN ESCORTED COACH TOUR?

  • There are hundreds of different coach touring itineraries for you to choose from in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Europe.
  • If they are reputable, they can be booked through Goway and you can relax with our consumer protection plan
  • Choices range from budget touring to deluxe touring, to coach tours with an accent on activities.
  • To avoid confusing you, we only present on these pages our most popular coach tours - the ones we recommend you consider first.

Please advise if you prefer different itineraries to what we have presented on this site.

Leave the driving to someone else:

For Downunder don't forget that they drive on the other side of the road. On holiday do you really want the responsibility of driving and finding your way around?

Meet new people- Make new friends

Passengers on the coach tours we recommend come from all over the world. You are going to make lots of new friends.

Learn more about the country you are visiting

Because of the informed commentaries (plus you will have time to read more) the potential to learn on an escorted coach tour is far greater than on a self-drive or rail journey.

Know your costs before leaving home.

Most of the tours we recommend are virtually all inclusive. By prepaying much of your travel costs in advance you can work out your travel budget more accurately.

Ideal for Single Travellers 

Escorted coach tours are perfect for solo travellers. The crew will make you instantly feel part of the group. You can pay a single supplement if you prefer your own room. You can also choose to share a room with someone of the same sex and if we cannot find a match you will have your own room at no extra charge.

Hassle free Travel 

The only other way to enjoy such a hassle free a time is to have us arrange a personalized chauffeur escorted tour.

Exclusive fun themes

This is a unique feature of all Goway's HOLIDAYS OF A LIFETIME is a specified "fun theme" to give a particular "flavouring" to each tour.
