Unveiling Edinburgh: The Heart of History

Begin your private Scotland trip in the capital city of Edinburgh, where history whispers through its cobblestone streets. The iconic Edinburgh Castle, perched proudly atop Castle Rock, offers sweeping views of the city and a deep dive into Scotland’s past. Stroll down the Royal Mile, where centuries-old buildings house vibrant cafes and unique boutiques, perfect for a leisurely afternoon exploration. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queen’s official Scottish residence, to immerse yourself in royal history.

The Mystical Highlands: Nature’s Masterpiece

No Scotland vacation is complete without venturing into the Highlands—home to majestic mountains, tranquil lochs, and invigorating trails. This region, where nature is both a tranquil and formidable force, offers a myriad of adventures. Imagine a private boat ride across Loch Ness, where folklore meets fantastic scenery or hiking the rugged terrain of Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest peak, for an awe-inspiring view that's well worth the climb.

Cultural Immersion in Glasgow

Journey west to Glasgow, a city that harmonizes modern creativity with historical depth. Known for its vibrant arts scene, the city boasts numerous galleries and museums, such as the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, which exhibit both local and international masterpieces. Experience the unique energy of the city through its music scene, from traditional Scottish tunes in a cozy pub to innovative compositions in modern venues.

Indulgence in Scottish Cuisine

Scotland’s culinary offerings are an integral part of its cultural tapestry. Embark on a gastronomic journey where local delicacies invite you to taste the essence of the land. Try the famed Scottish salmon, locally sourced and expertly prepared, or the traditional haggis, a dish steeped in Scottish heritage. Pair your meal with a glass of world-renowned Scotch whisky, distilled with centuries of expertise.

Private Tours: Tailored Experiences

Opting for a private tour not only means travelling at your own pace but also having the flexibility to craft an itinerary that aligns with your personal interests. Whether you’re keen to delve into clan histories or prefer a scenic coastal drive along the North Coast 500, a private Scotland trip offers bespoke experiences designed just for you. Connect with knowledgeable guides who bring each story to life, making your journey through Scotland as enriching as it is exclusive.

Tapping into Local Festivals and Events

Plan your visit to coincide with some of Scotland’s vibrant festivals to truly capture the spirit of the country. The Highland Games, a summer spectacle of sport, dance, and Scottish flair, offers an authentic taste of local traditions. Meanwhile, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, held every August, transforms the capital into a global stage for theatre, comedy, and unbridled creativity.

Travelling through Scotland on a private tour means so much more than a vacation; it’s a journey of discovery through one of the world's most storied landscapes. Whatever kind of adventure you're seeking, Scotland’s rich culture and breathtaking vistas await. Ready to embark on your personalized Scottish escapade? Your extraordinary journey is just a step away, promising tales to be told for years to come.

For somewhere a little lesser known, make sure to visit Dunfermline, the old capital of Scotland. Rich in history, it’s home to the impressive Dunfermline Abbey where many Scottish kings and queens are buried, including Robert the Bruce.

Many tourists don’t realize how diverse Scotland’s regions are, each area has its own distinct culture, accents, and traditions. For example, the Outer Hebrides have a strong Gaelic heritage that’s still thriving.. Also, Scotland has some of the most beautiful white sand beaches in Europe, especially on the west coast and islands.

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

After spending some time with our agent, we felt that she understood exactly what we had in mind as far as the level of service, etc, we were hoping for. The trip exceeded our expectations. Lori kept us busy(not too busy!) and we had many, many very exciting experiences. Bruce Belshaw

Aylin is an exceptionally proficient advisor. Coordinating my clients simultaneously often feels like herding cats, but she has remained patient and accommodating through every modification and delay. Goway continues to be my go-to for complex itineraries, and they never disappoint.Nick Cron, ACC

My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 weeks in New Zealand! The country is so beautiful and the people so friendly. Our destination specialist did a great job with planning and organizing the itinerary, choosing our hotels, and organizing transportation. The hotels were absolutely beautiful and we had great views. We felt right at home and found all of the staff to be friendly and accommodating. There were no issues with our itinerary and our excursions we were always on the list. Our transportation was always ready and waiting for us. We want to thank Goway Travel for their hard work and patience with us in planning this trip. Any changes that needed to be made were communicated timely. We also want to thank you for the beautiful weather during the entire 2 weeks it was perfect every day 😀. It was a memorable trip that we will never forget and we will think of Goway when we plan our next adventure. Because it was not just a vacation; it was an adventure!Connie Wenhardt

Brigitta Fuller is Amazing! She was my group coordinator. She understood the assignment and all the nuances I was trying to achieve. The itinerary she curated was fantastic. If you want someone who truly cares about her group and what they are trying to achieve. I will always reach out to Brigitta first for Europe groups. Kathryn Walker
