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.

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.

Late spring to early fall for the best chance of nice weather or during Christmas. London is magical at Christmas time.

The English are actually proud of their cuisine (mostly stereotyped as bland). Afternoon Tea, A full English Breakfast, a Chippy Stand, traditional Sunday roast - all must tries!

We went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja Breiling

I can't tell you enough how much I love to work with Callie. She is a life saver and I love how attentive she is. Every time I give her an itinerary for a client- she really knocks it out of the park with the proposal. If there are any issues- she is on it right away. Her work ethic is outstanding.Michelle Labarca

I had the pleasure of working with Amelia on a booking for a family of 4 to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. She executed everything perfectly, was attentive to needs and the family was over the top happy with their vacation. She was quick to answer questions and provide helpful feedback. Highly recommended!Jessie Williams

We were trying to navigate Swiss Travel Center to book a 10 day train trip through Switzerland. It was exactly what we wanted but navigating their site was extremely difficult for us. Goway Travel picked up on our plight and put us in contact with Jacqueline Fagooli, one of their agents. From there on everything was so smooth. Their efficiency, communication, and thoroughness were beyond our expectations. The trip was fabulous and kudos to Jacqueline and Goway for their help in making it so.Carolyn McCormack

The destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years. If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek Travel

We had a wonderful and amazing two weeks in North-West Scotland. Shoutout to Jacqueline at Goway Toronto and the driver/guides with Rabbie's minibus tours (Stefan and Willie). Well-chosen hotels and no worries with dietary requirements; every detail was taken care of. Thank you! Ben Daube
