Embrace the Beat of London

Begin your solo travel to England with a thrilling experience in its bustling capital, London. This vibrant metropolis is a mosaic of cultures and historical layers. Stand in awe of the iconic Big Ben, wander through the eclectic stalls of Camden Market, and lose yourself in the grandeur of the British Museum's treasures. The Underground, known to locals as the Tube, is your personal chariot to explore this dynamic city's hidden gems—from the chic boutiques of Notting Hill to the tranquil gardens of Kew.

Discover Historic England in York

For a taste of England's storied past, the city of York is a quintessential stop. Walk through the well-preserved medieval streets of The Shambles, where the timber-framed shops seem to whisper secrets of times long gone. York's ancient charm is matched only by its effervescent present, with a thriving arts scene and a plethora of quaint cafes that welcome solo travellers to rest and reflect.

Wander the Enchanting Cornwall Coast

Escape the hustle and bustle by journeying to Cornwall’s picturesque coastline, a paradise for those seeking tranquillity. The rugged cliffs and serene beaches offer perfect vistas for introspection and rejuvenation. Whether it's exploring the quaint fishing villages or hiking the scenic South West Coast Path, Cornwall invites solo adventurers to bask in its natural splendour. Don't forget to indulge in a classic Cornish pasty, a delightful embodiment of local flavours.

Be Inspired by Oxford’s Academic Grandeur

No England vacation package is complete without a visit to Oxford, home to the world-renowned University of Oxford. Here, centuries of academic excellence permeate the air. Wander through the hallowed halls of the Bodleian Library and the stunning collegiate architecture. Each corner of this city sparks the imagination, making it a splendid backdrop for solo reflection and inspiration.

Experience the Wonder of the Lake District

The Lake District National Park is the crown jewel for nature enthusiasts embarking on an England vacation. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers picturesque landscapes that have inspired poets like Wordsworth for centuries. Set off on solo hikes through lush valleys or canoe across the mirror-like expanses of Lake Windermere. The tranquillity of this region is palpable, offering a chance to connect deeply with nature.

Savour Culinary Delights in Bristol

Bristol, a city known for its vibrant creativity and sustainable ethos, is a fantastic stop for the gastronomically inclined traveller. Solo travellers can dive into the city's dynamic food scene, which champions local produce and innovative culinary trends. Visit the bustling markets and trendy eateries, where you can taste everything from traditional English fare to modern vegan delights.

Practical Tips for Solo Travel to England

  • Transportation: England's efficient public transport, including trains and buses, makes it easy to navigate from vibrant cities to serene countryside.
  • Safety: England is generally safe for solo travellers. Common sense and usual precautions should be enough to ensure a pleasant trip.
  • Accommodation: Engage with locals by staying at boutique hostels or charming bed and breakfasts that often provide insight into English culture and hospitality.

With its rich tapestry of experiences, solo travel to England beckons with adventures both grand and intimate. Each moment spent exploring its diverse landscapes—the storied cities, serene countryside, and welcoming coasts—enriches your personal travel narrative. Pack your bags and let England unveil its myriad stories, just waiting to be discovered on your journey.

A traditional British high tea is a must do in my option. If traditional isnt your cup of tea there are a seemingly endless amount of themed teas including but not limited to Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Bridgerton and Wizard themed.

I love the history of England. There is so much to see and experience not only in regards to history but art and architecture, natural beauty and so much more. It is a very easy country to get around and also very easy to use it as a jumping off point for visiting the rest of Europe.

Katie was a dream to work with. We made many changes to the standard itinerary to customize our trip and she never missed a beat. Her responsiveness and humor made working together a joy and her most common response to our very packed activities was, “can I help with that?” Hotels, car rental all went smoothly and were very much to our liking. The super long flights were laid out to minimize travel time and maximize comfort. Katie and GoWay made this dream trip happen. Faye

Its all about the journey, isn't it? And our journey through Kenya, Africa was amazing and we have Bijal Kana of Goway Travel to thank for it. From the start when we first discussed a true Safari adventure, Bijal was being helpful. Her suggestions were helpful in where to go and how we could save a few dollars when possible. Never trying to be cheap but simply, cost conscious. This was the beginning of what will continue as a forever working relationship in travel. Bijal gained our confidence and trust. And that is a rare commodity these days. Then too there was the staff from Goway and Sense of Africa like Ruth, Wilson and Francis who allowed us to see the non tourist side of Nairobi and became fast friends. The wonderful selections made by Bijal as to where we would stay and all the Serena locations were marvelous. And at the last minute, when a bridge got washed out and we could not get to the last lodge camp, Bijal responded to our whatsapp call immediately and we were placed in the Sorova lodge. True not the same, but in the middle of a game area, who complains? It was great and we had so much fun. The tour selection took us through parks, reserves and conservancy locales. We saw the big 5 and much more. Lions fighting, Hyenas making a chase and ultimate dinner selection, A leopard resting on tree branches, A cheetah stalking and then at rest. Hyena pups and Honbeast babes being birthed. Hippopotamus in the water, Zebra grazing, Elephants crossing rivers en mass. You'd think we hit the National Geographic channel. Great job Bijal. Good deal Goway.customerBram L. Bottfeld

Goway Travel helped us set up a Venice to Athens cruise on Viking and it was fantastic! Our agent (Kimberly) was responsive to all our questions and helpful navigating all the options for excursions, etc. She also gave us a cruise credit we could use while on the ship to help pay for extras. Overall great experience would use Goway again.Stanley

For the past four years, we have travelled to Perth, Australia to visit family. As part of our travels to Perth, we have had stays in Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland. This year, as part of our trip, we are staying in Melbourne and Adelaide. Each year, we have contacted Joanne at Goway to arrange our trip. She has booked all our flights and accommodations. She has been a wonderful source of travel locations within Australia and New Zealand. Joanne has always been very helpful. She checks on the best flights, give us ideas on airplane seat selection and locates great places to stay. She also provides ideas about what we might want to see or do at each location. Every time we contact her she is willing to provide information and answers any questions we may have. She listens to our requests, explains reasons for her suggestions, and answers any concerns we have with patience and understanding. We are so fortunate to have such a helpful, friendly individual as our travel advisor!Bob and Sue

Paul at GoWay made this first GoWay trip a breeze from start to finish! He was very quick to respond and created an incredible itinerary that my clients absolutely loved. From the incredible hotel location to the private tours led by knowledgeable tour guides who show that they love their jobs, it couldn't have gone better. Can't wait to Yesenia Rodriguez

Once again, Goway Travel has provided us with an amazing travel experience, and the customized itinerary prepared by Joanne Palanuik was second to none. She was the main reason that Australia is a "trip of a lifetime" for us. Her attention to detail and recognizing what would make this a special trip for us is noteworthy and much appreciated.Wally

I would recommend GoWay for travel anytime. I had a private tour of India built for me, after I was invited to my friend's wedding. I travelled around northern India with my driver for 10 days. I had a new guide most every day, for the trip, as we went from location to location. Absolutely everything was amazing!! I honestly can't say there was a negative moment in any of it. I felt 100% safe travelling alone with GoWay's experts. My lodgings were excellent and someone was always available for support, if need be. This was one of the best experiences of my life!!! Thank you so much GoWay!!Trudy Buelow

We had an amazing trip to Southeast Asia. We would like to thank Goway for organizing a memorable vacation. The tour guides were very personable, kind, respectful and knowledgeable about their countries. It was nice to be able to ask them questions and hear about their daily lives. They went above and beyond to make our trip as enjoyable as possible. We were so glad our tours were private as the guides were very flexible in accommodating us as I often could not fully participate after spending time in a hospital with food poisoning. We enjoyed our time in Singapore. The driver who drove us from and to the airport gave us a compressive overview of daily life in Singapore. It was fascinating to hear how home ownership, retirement and driving was so different there. The accommodations were excellent, the staff were all very kind and helpful. We have to particularly commend the staff at the Siesta Classic Ma May in Hanoi. Ann at reception was so kind to my husband when I was in the hospital asking him regularly how I was doing and arranging late checkout without being asked. And Suzie our Hanoi tour guide for rearranging a tour time for my husband then dropping him off at the hospital. She also managed to take me to see the Ho Chi Minh property on our way to the airport as I had missed so much of Hanoi. I would also like to thank Aurel Vion, the Goway representative from Paris, who personally called me while I was in the hospital to enquire how I was doing, cancel our Halong cruise and arrange an extra night in the hotel for my husband. It was much appreciated. Hoang was super flexible with our tours in Hue and Hoi An as I was still very weak having just gotten out of hospital. We really enjoyed our visit to the private pottery museum and meet the owner and our ride on the Perfume River in a private boat and our voyage through the mountain pass to Danang. Andy, the tour guide who picked us up from the Boutique Hoi A Resort helped us avoid the long lineups in the Danang airport, again very appreciated. Tuan our tour guide in Saigon was also very accommodating. We really enjoyed our days with him relaxing on our private sampan to Cai Be and our trip to Can Tho to visit the floating markets. He also took us to the War Remnants Museum on the way back to Saigon as we had missed our tour of the Cu Chi tunnels because our flight in Danang was delayed 4 hours. And poor Phil in Bangkok, he tried his best with the culinary tour. Unfortunately after the food poisoning we were being very cautious in what we ate. We did appreciate his tour of Chinatown and the great meal of Pad Thai. He also provided us with excellent directions so we could take the subway, skytrain and ferry by ourselves. We will never forget how we were able to experience and appreciate cultures much different than ours. We have only good things to say about Goway and certainly always recommend the company to all we know. We have already had an acquaintance of ours book a trip with the company. And lastly we must thank Katherine Samsonkinai for arranging another excellent vacation. We will certainly continue to recommend her and will be calling her again to organize our next big trip.
