The Allure of London: A City Steeped in History

The capital city, London, is often the first stop on any trip to England. A mesmerizing blend of the ancient and the modern, London is home to architectural icons such as the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, and the modern marvel of The Shard. Wander the historic cobblestones of Covent Garden, indulge in the eclectic offerings of Camden Market, or take in a play at one of the famous West End theatres. There's a palpable energy here, a constant hum of innovation that pairs beautifully with its rich past.

Charming English Countryside: Escape to Serenity

For those yearning to escape the bustling city, the English countryside offers a tranquil haven. The Lake District, with its sprawling lakes and rugged mountains, inspires poets and adventurers alike. Stroll through the lush landscapes that inspired Wordsworth, or sail on the serene waters of Lake Windermere. In the Cotswolds, honey-coloured stone villages sit amid rolling hills, creating a picture-perfect scene that has captured hearts for generations. Revel in the simplicity of countryside life, punctuated by the occasional sheep bleating serenely in the fields.

Cultural Quests: Uncover England’s Rich Heritage

Beyond its natural beauty, England offers a cornucopia of cultural treasures. Discover the medieval charm of York, where time seems to stand still on the Shambles’ narrow streets, or explore the historic University of Oxford, where you can walk in the footsteps of renowned scholars. For literary lovers, the birthplace of Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon and the Brontë sisters in Yorkshire are must-visit destinations. These locales offer whisperings of England's storied past and glimpses into the minds of its literary giants.

Gastronomic Adventures: A Culinary Revelation

England’s food scene is as diverse as its landscapes. From traditional fish and chips enjoyed by the seaside to a hearty Sunday roast in a quaint pub, England's culinary offerings are authentic and comforting. In London, explore Borough Market, a foodie's paradise where fresh produce and international flavours collide. For the more adventurous palate, a journey to Bath offers a taste of Sally Lunn’s buns, a delight that has been savoured since the 18th century.

Practical Travel Tips: Navigating England with Ease

  • Transport: England’s extensive train network makes exploring its cities and countryside a breeze. Consider a BritRail Pass for convenience.
  • Weather: Known for its unpredictable weather, it’s wise to pack layers and an umbrella, ensuring you're ready for everything from sunny days to light showers.
  • Etiquette: The English are known for their politeness. A simple “please” and “thank you” goes a long way in any interaction.

Whether you’re drawn to the vibrant rhythm of London, the peaceful charm of the countryside, or aim to taste the myriad culinary delights, trips to England promise a mosaic of experiences. Like a good story, England unfolds its mysteries and wonders to those willing to explore its depths. Let the allure of the best travel packages to England guide you to a journey replete with discovery, wonder, and inspiration.

The charm of England awaits, with every corner offering a new story and every visit a collection of unforgettable memories. As you plan your journey, remember that the best England tours are more than just trips—they are invitations to connect with a land rich in history, culture, and natural beauty.

A traditional British high tea is a must do in my option. If traditional isnt your cup of tea there are a seemingly endless amount of themed teas including but not limited to Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Bridgerton and Wizard themed.

I love the history of England. There is so much to see and experience not only in regards to history but art and architecture, natural beauty and so much more. It is a very easy country to get around and also very easy to use it as a jumping off point for visiting the rest of Europe.

The English are actually proud of their cuisine (mostly stereotyped as bland). Afternoon Tea, A full English Breakfast, a Chippy Stand, traditional Sunday roast - all must tries!

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

My clients had a wonderful time on their trip to Easter Island. They were very pleased with the Hare Nua Hotel Boutique and especially noted the warmth and hospitality of the hotel staff as well as their excellent breakfasts. Jaime Vargas-Hendandez was an exceptionally gracious and knowledgeable agent, who went out of his way to ensure that my clients had the best possible experience. I will definitely contact him for future bookings and will recommend him to my colleagues.Alethea Kardas
