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.

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 booked our 3,week tour of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and overall it was an excellent experience. I typically book my own travel, but travelling with a group and wanting tours in each destination made GoWay a great choice. We had great hotels and good guides in each city. I will say that our standout guide was Romeo Tran in Ho Chi Minh City. We spent a few days in the city, as well as an over night boat ride on the delta, and he was fantastic. We had alot of fun with him, and would highly recommend him in particular. Neil Braun

We booked a Viking cruise (Venice to Athens) through Goway Travel and it was fantastic! Our agent Kimberly was extremely helpful with air travel options, choosing excursions, and suggestions for pre and post cruise activities. Great communications and a really enjoyable experience.Stanley

We booked through Paula Williamson in the Toronto office, a Great Journeys New Zealand trip and it was fantastic! Although I had already scheduled a trip on The Ghan train in Australia, Paula helped me work it all as one huge 45 day trip including Bali Indonesia. My favorite was the New Zealand trip as I’d never been there before and the tour guide Toni was so spectacular and caring. I’m so pleased Goway was involved and I didn’t require any additional assistance once We'd started the first flight March 8. If we do another overseas trip, Goway will be involved.John

Michael Keon arranged our recent trip to Malta. I gave him a rough outline of what we were looking for and he responded quickly making great suggestions, offering alternatives as needed and booking everything. The hotel, excursions and transport he arranged were all exactly what we hoped for. We will be asking Michael to book our future European vacations. Mayssa Mirshak

Our first trip with Goway was a total joy. Shalini worked with me to plan a trip for 5 adults to Portugal. She is a gem! Always responded quickly and offered great suggestions for activities, worked with our preferences and created an ideal itinerary for a week in Porto and Lisbon. The tours were excellent with engaging local guides. The food tour in Lisbon was a highlight. Everything was top notch - flight schedule, hotels, activities, even the weather! Patricia

It is with the utmost pleasure and heartfelt appreciation that I share my exceptional experience working with Taha Colombowala, Goway's distinguished Groups Specialist. Our journey together began in October 2023, when Taha took the helm in orchestrating what was to be a remarkable group trip to Ghana. When unforeseen circumstances necessitated a change in plans, Taha demonstrated his extraordinary expertise by recommending Morocco as an alternative destination — a suggestion that proved to be nothing short of absolutely brilliant! From the very first interaction to the final farewell, Taha has been a consummate professional in every sense of the word. His lightning-fast response times, encyclopedic knowledge of destinations, and remarkable ability to pivot seamlessly under pressure are truly second to none. What sets Taha apart, however, is not only his professional acumen but also his warm, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic attitude toward accommodating the unique needs and personalities of every member of our group. Taha Colombowala is, without question, a shining star within the Goway family, and an extraordinary ambassador for everything the brand represents. I cannot recommend him highly enough — he has exceeded every expectation and then some. Working with Taha has been an absolute privilege, and I look forward to many more incredible adventures ahead!DESIREE DUCKETT

We recently completed a custom Vietnam tour organized by Goway, and it was everything we asked for and more. We would definitely choose Goway again. The true highlights of our trip, however, were our two guides: Vu Dang and Thien. They truly made our experience unforgettable. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind. Their pride in their Vietnamese heritage shone through in every conversation, making our learning experience both deep and engaging. We learned so much in such a short time, and it was always fascinating. I would highly recommend these two guides to anyone visiting Vietnam!Laura Derbyshire

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne
