Discovering the Majesty of Helsinki

Begin your Finnish journey in the vibrant capital of Helsinki, a city that hums with creativity and innovation. Finland private tours in Helsinki often include explorations of its iconic architecture, such as the awe-inspiring Helsinki Cathedral with its elegant dome and neoclassical façades. Stroll through the bustling Market Square where local vendors offer Finnish delicacies, from savoury muikku (fried vendace) to sweet pulla (cardamom-spiced buns).

A Taste of Tradition

In Helsinki, the culinary scene is a delightful fusion of traditional Finnish flavours and modern cuisine. Consider participating in a private cooking class, where expert chefs guide you through crafting classic dishes like karjalanpiirakka, a savory rice pastry, and flavorful reindeer stew. These intimate classes provide an authentic taste of Finland’s culinary heritage, offering insights into its deep-rooted traditions.

The Serenity of Finnish Lapland

Venturing north, Finnish Lapland unfolds in a breathtaking tapestry of snow-capped landscapes and ethereal skies. Here, trips to Finland transform into enchanting winter wonderlands. Private experiences in Finland in this region might include a thrilling husky sled ride through pristine forests or an enchanting night in a glass igloo, beneath the dazzling aurora borealis.

Embrace the Wilderness

For those seeking solitude and natural beauty, a visit to a reindeer farm offers a glimpse into the traditional Sámi way of life. Sámi guides, renowned for their profound knowledge of the Arctic, lead intimate tours allowing travellers to connect with these majestic creatures. Learn about reindeer herding, an integral part of Sámi culture, through engaging and personal stories shared by the guides.

Exploring the Archipelago

No trips to Finland are complete without exploring its captivating archipelago, a labyrinth of islands dotted across the Baltic Sea. Private boat tours allow you to meander through this serene landscape, stopping at picturesque fishing villages and secluded beaches. Each island offers a unique charm, from rustic wooden saunas to lighthouses overlooking vast, tranquil waters.

Sustainable Journeys

Environmental consciousness is deeply woven into Finnish culture, and many private tours incorporate sustainable practices. Experience eco-friendly boating that minimizes environmental impact or join guided wildlife walks to discover the diverse ecosystems of the archipelago. These activities not only showcase Finland’s stunning natural beauty but also encourage the preservation of its breathtaking landscapes.

Cultural Immersion in Turku

Turn your gaze to Turku, Finland’s oldest city where history comes alive. On a Finland private tour, explore the medieval Turku Castle, its walls echoing tales of knights and nobility. The cobblestone streets and vibrant cultural scene offer a perfect blend of the past and present, inviting you to discover local arts and crafts markets and contemporary Finnish art exhibits.

Art and Innovation

Turku is a city that thrives on creativity. Private art tours guide you through the city’s rich tapestry of galleries and workshops, where you can meet local artisans and observe traditional craftsmanship. Whether it’s pottery, weaving, or glassblowing, these tours provide a personal insight into Finland’s artistic heart, celebrating its history and innovation.

Embarking on a journey through Finland is more than just a trip; it's an invitation to immerse yourself in its enchanting blend of natural wonders and cultural riches. Whether you're soaring under the northern lights in Lapland or strolling through Helsinki’s historic streets, every moment spent unearthing this Nordic treasure will inspire memories to last a lifetime.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.

What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.

Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.

I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.

We were just back from an ambitious 42-day grand circle through seven of the ASEAN countries! An itinerary gestating over a period of time, carefully planned and pore over intently all the way through proved satisfying as expected, but the amazing "embarras de richesse" in six weeks such as we've never experienced before truly went beyond our imagination, both in terms of scenery and culture! Here we owe our destination specialist Taryn a profound gratitude for her insight and for her coordination efforts. When our debit card was not retrievable in an airport ATM Taryn again went out of her way to approve a small loan through transfer to our local guide's bank account, who then withdrew cash from an ATM while we simply paid Goway Travel by credit card through an online payment link. This helped us tremendously through that difficult moment. We will always treasure this kindness on her part.Yuan Lin

Alice was most helpful - full of insider suggestions. She was a good listener and able to provide tours, routes and guides tailored to our interests. She made our February trip to New Zealand entirely wonderful. Marlene

We did a 19 day NZ Rail and Cruise Discovery Tour and then a 12 day Australian tour put together by out specialized travel operator Joanne Palanuik. New Zealand- ABT Tours ran the actual tour and did a fabulous job. The Guide Sharon was great and worked very hard coordinating 32 people. Mostly all Australians and we has so much fun with them! Our driver Chris (a retired policeman) was especially great- he knew so many interesting things about NZ and shared them while driving throughout the trip. We loved him! So many highlights...overnight on a ship in the Milford Sound...cable car to a nature reserve then a Gold Class train ride back...Queenstown adventures..excellent meals along the way...all drivers and transfers were excellent too. Oceana Tours in Melbourne were great as well. A morning city tour and afternoon tour were wonderful. Then the next day to Philips Island for the Penguin moonlit march was sooo special. And the Ocean road cruise too!! Sydney was gorgeous...Bondi Beach...Barrier Reef...Ayers Rock (Uluru) Both Australians and New Zealanders were so helpful and friendly... In short I wish I could do it all over again..highly recommend. Every day was a new adventure :) Kathleen Reardon customer

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
