Discovering Sweden Through Private Experiences

Sweden's vast landscapes and serene environment make it perfect for personalised explorations. These private experiences in Sweden offer you the freedom to carve your own journey, ensuring that every moment is uniquely yours. Picture traversing the untouched archipelagos, enjoying intimate interactions with local artisans, or diving deep into the historical nuances of Sweden's numerous museums and heritage sites.

Embrace Swedish Culture with Tailored Tours

To truly understand Sweden, delve into its living history and culture. Private tours often include visits to the Viking villages, the royal palaces of Stockholm, and the charming cobblestones of Gamla Stan. Here, every building whispers stories of bygone eras. Consider a private guide to walk through the halls of the majestic Drottningholm Palace, Sweden's best-preserved royal palace still in use, where each room is a treasure trove of historical artifacts.

Savour the Gastronomy of Sweden

A vacation in Sweden is incomplete without indulging in its culinary diversity. From Michelin-starred restaurants in metropolitan areas to rustic cafes in countryside towns, Swedish cuisine is a delightful surprise. Relish the simplicity of a Swedish fika, a coffee break accompanied by pastries, while overlooking the peaceful vistas of Lake Vänern. Engage in private cooking classes, where chefs reveal the secrets of traditional Swedish dishes such as smörgåsbord and gravlax.

Exploring Sweden’s Natural Wonders

Home to vast wilderness areas, Sweden offers some of the most enchanting nature tours. Embark on a bespoke voyage to Lapland and witness the ethereal dance of the Northern Lights. Embrace the tranquil silence of the Swedish forests during a guided wildlife tour, a must for those intrigued by the native flora and fauna.

Embrace the serenity of Sweden's waters with private boat tours. Drift along the crystal-clear lakes and explore the extensive canal systems, a testament to Sweden's embrace of nature and innovation. Kayak through the verdant waterways, where the reflection of towering pines sparkles like emeralds against the azure sky.

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.

Michael Keon from Goway Travel made our family trip to Greece memorable. Michael was a call or email away when planning our Greece trip and worked with us on our tight budget. Every detail was worked out for us before we got on the plane. Shout out to Nico, one of our drivers in Mykonos and all the great expeditions we went on. I highly recommend Goway Travel to plan your next vacation adventures. Jacqueline G. Jacqueline Garrett

I just returned from a wonderful trip to Sweden and Norway. I had the good fortune of working with Michael Keon who helped me plan and customize an interesting and balanced itinerary. All of the logistics went well, flights, transfers, hotels in great locations, travel between destinations, fjord safaris, cruises and guided tours with knowledgeable guides to inform and make the experience even more memorable. Michael was responsive to all of my questions and made it so easy to both prepare for and ultimately enjoy the trip. Looking forward to planning the next one!Gail

Just got back from a fabulous safari holiday in Tanzania. The trip was amazing! Exceeded my expectations. The people, the local team at Sense of Africa, the food, the accommodations (Karibu camps: Elephant Springs+Lion’s Paw and Sametu), the safari from the sky (hot air balloon)… I can keep going. Perfect way to celebrate my 50th bday. Thanks again to Alice Teramoto and Goway for making this happen! Truly a trip of a lifetimeKARISSA CARRASQUILLO

Working with Lisa Dachuk at Goway travel was splendid! She was responsive, careful, thorough and calm in ensuring that our 3-city honeymoon tour was customized to our needs. The ease, adventure, and beauty of the trip as facilitated by her is now a part of our honeymoon memory. Thank you for courteous and professional service! We enjoyed every bit of the trip (including Mt Etna erupting a week or two before our arrival to Catania)! The tours were absolutely excellent and the arrangements were precise to our needs. We would’ve considered (possibly) taking a boat from Malta to Catania, given the flight delays on ITA. YET, even the flight delays were handled with fast acting and professional support from Goway!!Ellen

Katie's knowledge and support were the primary reason the trip worked so well. Everything went smoothly, and the vacation could not have been any better. The hotels were wonderful, the two tours we took went well, and there were no issues with flights or transfers. GERAR

We have used Goway Travel previously, and they are the best. Our travel specialist, Shalini Thakur, designed our trip to Italy exactly the way we wanted. They make traveling so low-stress. The itinerary is very detailed, giving you plenty of time to review prior to your trip. We have drivers that meet us at the airport and take us to and from all stops on our trip. No dealing with trains and buses and taxis and dragging your luggage all over. They have great local guides for excursions, most in small groups of 10 or less. The trip is so much more meaningful with a knowledgeable guide to explain the history. Our accommodations are always centrally located to our excursions, most of the time we are picked up at our hotel. We like to keep busy on our trips, but Goway always plans a great balance that gives us time to rest a little after late nights or long days, so you don't get exhausted, which is nice as we are all in our late 60's. Although we have never needed to use it, it gives peace of mind knowing Goway has 24/7 emergency contacts if you need anything. We will definitely be contacting Shalini and Goway for our future trips. David Merrifield

Big shout out to Melissa-Lee and her team at Goway. She crafted a personal adventure through Peru. We gave her our must see places and she nailed it. The team on the ground was exceptional. The guides were all very knowledgeable. The hotels were all chosen carefully and exceeded our expectations. Could not have asked for a better tour. We will definitely use them again.Joanne

I began planning my Italy vacation with Avery more than a year before we traveled, and I want to start by giving her the recognition she deserves. Avery did an exceptional job planning this trip. From the beginning, I had a very clear vision of what I wanted to experience in Italy, and she listened carefully and captured it. The destinations, hotels, tours, transportation and overall flow of the trip were thoughtfully planned. Aside from three specific issues that I will address, everything came together extremely well. One of the things I appreciated most was the attention to logistics. The hotels were conveniently located, our tour meeting points were generally close to our accommodations, and the routing between cities made sense. Those details may seem small during the planning process, but once you are actually traveling through multiple cities, they make an enormous difference. I especially appreciated the meet and greet services and arranged transfers because they removed much of the stress that comes with arriving somewhere unfamiliar. I did not have to constantly worry about where to go, how to get there or who I was supposed to meet. I was able to enjoy my vacation instead of managing the logistics of my vacation. The people Avery arranged for us to work with in Italy were also excellent overall. Our drivers, guides and local representatives were professional, pleasant and easy to communicate with. We stayed at five hotels, and with the exception of Dharma Luxury Hotel in Rome, the other four were excellent. I loved them and would not change those selections. From a travel planning perspective, I would give Avery more than five stars. She listened, understood what I wanted and created the Italy experience I had envisioned. I would absolutely work with her again and recommend her to others. There were, however, three specific issues during the trip that I believe deserve attention. These involved the third-party operator used for our Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti tour, our experience at Dharma Luxury Hotel in Rome, and the response from Goway’s emergency travel support. I want to separate these concerns from my experience with Avery because I do not believe they reflect the quality of the work she did planning our vacation. My recommendations are therefore directed toward strengthening the third-party services surrounding the travel experience. I recommend that Goway review the operator used for the Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti tour, reconsider Dharma Luxury Hotel based on the maintenance and customer service issues I experienced and conduct a formal review of its emergency support provider, including whether the response to my request complied with the provider’s contractual service levels. Overall, this was an incredible Italy vacation, and Avery deserves tremendous credit for making it happen. Planning an excellent vacation is important, and she accomplished that. At the same time, what happens when something does not go according to plan is also an important part of the travel experience. The three problems I encountered were specific and identifiable, and addressing those areas would make an already excellent travel planning experience significantly stronger.S Moolah
