The Allure of Iceland's Landscape

Begin your journey with an exploration of Iceland's breathtaking landscapes. From towering geysers and cascading waterfalls to lush green valleys and volcanic craters, the Icelandic scenery is a testament to the planet's geological wonders. A private tour allows you to traverse the Golden Circle at your own pace, where highlights include the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall and the serene Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site rich with cultural history and geological significance.

Geysers and Glaciers: Nature's Dramatic Display

Witnessing the Strokkur geyser erupt every few minutes is a magical experience, best enjoyed without the bustling crowds. And for those intrigued by ice, glacier tours offer a rare chance to walk on Europe's largest glacier, Vatnajökull. Private guides ensure your safety and enhance your experience with insightful stories about the glacier's formation and ongoing environmental changes.

An Exclusive Dive into Icelandic Culture

The cultural tapestry of Iceland is as rich and varied as its landscape. Private experiences let you delve deeper into the local way of life, offering unique insights that are often missed by larger groups. Visit traditional Icelandic farms, where you can savor homemade delicacies and learn about the country's deep-rooted agricultural traditions. Alternatively, opt for a private guided history walk through Reykjavík's charming streets to unearth the vibrant tales of Viking settlements and modern Icelandic life.

Savouring Iceland: A Culinary Adventure

A journey through Iceland would be incomplete without indulging in its culinary delights. Private food tours offer a chance to taste the land's bounty, from succulent lamb and freshly caught seafood to the famous Icelandic skyr. Your culinary journey can be customized to include visits to local breweries for a taste of Iceland’s craft beers or a private cooking class where you can learn to prepare traditional dishes.

The Northern Lights: A Private Spectacle

One of the greatest treasures of Icelandic winters is the Northern Lights' ethereal dance. Viewing these vibrant auroras in solitude is truly an awe-inspiring experience. Opt for private tours that take you far from the city's artificial lights, maximizing your chances of witnessing this incredible natural phenomenon. Experienced guides know the best spots and times, sharing tales and scientific explanations while ensuring a cozy experience with hot drinks and warm blankets.

Relaxation and Rejuvenation

Beyond the adventures, Iceland also offers tranquility and relaxation. Immerse yourself in the geothermal wonders of Iceland's hot springs with a Iceland travel package designed for ultimate relaxation. Natural hot springs like the Blue Lagoon provide a luxurious escape surrounded by stunning volcanic landscapes. Choose a private visit to enjoy the serene waters without interruption, a perfect way to rejuvenate after a day of exploration.

Crafting Your Ideal Iceland Adventure

Enhancing your Icelandic experience through Iceland private tours allows for tailored itineraries that cater specifically to your interests and pace. Whether it’s horseback riding across lava fields, hiking into the heart of Icelandic fjords, or exploring the remote Westfjords where wildlife abounds, your private guide shapes each adventure to ensure maximum enjoyment and personal connection with the land.

In Iceland, every path leads to discovery. A personalized journey through this land of contrasts promises not just to see, but to truly experience the hidden gem that is Iceland. Embrace the adventure, delve into the culture, and let the land's enchantment unfold in your own unique Icelandic story.

Globetrotters should visit Iceland twice in their lifetime. Once in summer and another time in Winter. The scenery is very different. You also get to see the puffins in the summer and Northern Lights in the winter

Our rep at GoWay, Kimberly, was fantastic from start to finish. She came up with the exact itinerary we wanted for Melbourne, Uluru, Cairns and Sydney, and assisted us with both international and domestic flights to help us get the best rates. Once we were on the trip, everything flowed seamlessly and every tour and transport was on time.Lisa Wildes

As a travel agent, this is not the first time I’ve chosen to work with Goway for organizing my clients’ trip, this time to Chile, and once again, the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Throughout the entire process, I could count on truly professional service from Susanna. My clients are very experienced travelers and requested a highly customized itinerary, including many unique experiences that are not typically included in standard tour programs. There were also several occasions when, on behalf of my clients, I requested changes to an already prepared itinerary. Susanna was consistently helpful, patient, understanding, and — just as importantly — incredibly kind and pleasant to work with. It was clear that she genuinely cared about creating the best possible experience for my clients. I’m also certain that much of the work she put in went well beyond standard hours and expectations. My clients returned absolutely delighted with their vacation, which is always the greatest confirmation of a job well done. Thank you, Susanna, for your dedication and exceptional support. And thank you, Goway, for another wonderful experience!Beata

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
