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.

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.

Late spring to early fall for the best chance of nice weather or during Christmas. London is magical at Christmas time.

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!

This is an excellent tour agency that provides an excellent, all inclusive safari experience in South Africa, especially in the renown Kruger National Park. The agency will provide a very detailed, day-by-day itinerary of the trip, which, for the most part, describes exactly the order of activities that a customer will experience from start to end of the reserved trip. Our safari trip included a hotel pick-up in Cape Town in the beginning of the safari trip and drop-off at the end of the trip. Flights to and from either Johannesburg or Mpumalanga airport are included. We reserved a 3-day safari trip which included an afternoon safari the first day, a full day safari the 2nd day, and a morning safari the 3rd day. The lodge where we stayed was very clean with modern and convenient accommodations, including WIFI and breakfast. The guides are well trained and very knowledgeable about all animals we came across during our trip, and were also very courteous, polite and easy to engage in conversation. They made our safari trip exciting but safe! I would highly recommend this safari tour agency. Christos Patriotis

I had an amazing trip. It was more than I could have expected. I got to see everything I wished to see while I was abroad. All the guides were lovely and provided me with excellent knowledge on their cities/tours. Especially in China where it was their holiday week and they all took time away from their families to make me around their cities. The tour company in Japan made sure I got to every tour destination and knew what the plan was for each day. This is the second time I have used Goway for traveling and it has exceeded my expectations. katieahotmail.com

We just returned from an incredible 2-week trip to Brazil, and it exceeded every expectation. This was our first time using Goway, and RuthAnne absolutely knocked it out of the park. What Made It Special: Exceptional Guides - Every guide RuthAnne selected was outstanding. Our Rio guide was probably the best we've ever had anywhere in the world. Our Iguazu Falls guide was equally fantastic—knowledgeable, personable, and made the experience unforgettable. Every guide was excellent throughout our journey. Amazon Experience - The Amazon River portion was breathtaking. Incredible venue, exceptional staff, and truly memorable excursions. Perfect Planning - Every detail was thoughtfully arranged. Timing, accommodations, activities—everything flowed seamlessly. RuthAnne clearly knows Brazil inside and out and matched us with the perfect experiences for our family. We felt taken care of every step of the way. Bottom Line: We'll absolutely be using Goway again for our next adventure. Traveled as a family of four - would recommend for couples, families, or anyone seeking a hassle-free, world-class experience.Ethan Davenport

We just returned from a 2 week tour of South Africa, Zimbabwe(Victoria Falls) and Botswana, and had a fabulous time! This was the third tour I've used Goway, and as usual, it was such a positive experience! The accommodations that were booked were awesome! The hotels were luxurious, clean and the staff, all so warm and welcoming! Our travel agent, Vanessa Lloyd, did a fabulous job arranging everything, and was always available to answer my many questions! We'll be using them again, next year when we take a family trip to the Greek Islands and Turkey! They are always consistent in the quality of the hotels and experiences, and I highly recommend them for your travel needs!Fran Nitta Barnes

We are still on our journey in Italy. At Capri now and heading to the Amalfi Coast. So far, we can’t thank Goway enough for putting our itinerary together so quickly. Everything is going well and hope the next 10 days are perfect too. Gladys Vivian

Can't say enough good things about Goway Travel. From the very start, our travel rep, Harpreet, listened carefully to what we were hoping to see and do on our first trip to Japan. She asked great questions and then came back to us with a detailed itinerary packed with adventure and fun, and all within our travel budget. From the moment we took off from LAX, Harpreet had made sure we had every tour voucher, hotel voucher, plane ticket, train ticket, literally every detail covered. All we had to do was follow our itinerary. Also, Harpreet booked us into terrific hotels. Each one was spotlessly clean, comfortable, included a full (and delicious) breakfast and, most importantly, was centrally located to all of the activities she had planned for us. So everything was a 5 or 10-minute walk away. In three weeks' time we were able to visit six cities and so many fascinating shrines, temples, castles, imperial palaces - most of which were World Heritage sites. Harpreet also tucked in fabulous "experiences" like learning how to make sushi with a professional chef, enjoying a tea ceremony and watching graceful Geishas dance. My husband and I are seasoned travelers. But we don't speak Japanese and we really knew very little about the country. There is no way we would have been able to see and do all of the fascinating things we did in Japan if we hadn't chosen Goway Travel to be our guide. Many thanks for an unforgettable trip!

Great country (Italy), great people and love the feel you get by just being you. Ingrid Aird did a great job with a pair of tours one private and one group. Organizing pickup from airport and flights. Hotel, Enterprise Hotel, after a bit of a rough start getting us into a proper room, was more than excellent.Thomas Helps

We were looking forward to a magical vacation in Greece, and Goway Travel delivered on all fronts. This is the second time that we have booked with them (the first being an incredible excursion in Thailand), and everything went along swimmingly. Only on one occasion did a tour go sideways, but our Goway specialist (Patrick) took care of it for us. When your tour involves many flights, numerous hotels, various tours, ferries, and transfers, it is nice to know that your travel specialist can handle it all. Goway (from Patrick to all the other staff involved) handled everything in such a professional manner. Thanks Goway for such an incredible experience in Greece. I look forward to another adventure in the near future!Jenny Friess

We recently returned from France - three cities in two weeks - and our trip was fantastic! Jacqueline helped us with a return to France with no worries and concerns. Drivers met us at every destination- hotels were superb and the individual tours memorable. This is a return vacation with Goway and we could not be more pleased. The customer service is top notch and all questions answered promptly. For us seniors, we appreciate all the thoughtfulness and consideration.ElizaGray
