Embrace the Beat of London

Begin your solo travel to England with a thrilling experience in its bustling capital, London. This vibrant metropolis is a mosaic of cultures and historical layers. Stand in awe of the iconic Big Ben, wander through the eclectic stalls of Camden Market, and lose yourself in the grandeur of the British Museum's treasures. The Underground, known to locals as the Tube, is your personal chariot to explore this dynamic city's hidden gems—from the chic boutiques of Notting Hill to the tranquil gardens of Kew.

Discover Historic England in York

For a taste of England's storied past, the city of York is a quintessential stop. Walk through the well-preserved medieval streets of The Shambles, where the timber-framed shops seem to whisper secrets of times long gone. York's ancient charm is matched only by its effervescent present, with a thriving arts scene and a plethora of quaint cafes that welcome solo travellers to rest and reflect.

Wander the Enchanting Cornwall Coast

Escape the hustle and bustle by journeying to Cornwall’s picturesque coastline, a paradise for those seeking tranquillity. The rugged cliffs and serene beaches offer perfect vistas for introspection and rejuvenation. Whether it's exploring the quaint fishing villages or hiking the scenic South West Coast Path, Cornwall invites solo adventurers to bask in its natural splendour. Don't forget to indulge in a classic Cornish pasty, a delightful embodiment of local flavours.

Be Inspired by Oxford’s Academic Grandeur

No England vacation package is complete without a visit to Oxford, home to the world-renowned University of Oxford. Here, centuries of academic excellence permeate the air. Wander through the hallowed halls of the Bodleian Library and the stunning collegiate architecture. Each corner of this city sparks the imagination, making it a splendid backdrop for solo reflection and inspiration.

Experience the Wonder of the Lake District

The Lake District National Park is the crown jewel for nature enthusiasts embarking on an England vacation. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers picturesque landscapes that have inspired poets like Wordsworth for centuries. Set off on solo hikes through lush valleys or canoe across the mirror-like expanses of Lake Windermere. The tranquillity of this region is palpable, offering a chance to connect deeply with nature.

Savour Culinary Delights in Bristol

Bristol, a city known for its vibrant creativity and sustainable ethos, is a fantastic stop for the gastronomically inclined traveller. Solo travellers can dive into the city's dynamic food scene, which champions local produce and innovative culinary trends. Visit the bustling markets and trendy eateries, where you can taste everything from traditional English fare to modern vegan delights.

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.

Harpreet Litt provided us with a rich experience for our week. She offered good choices for local tour companies. We had a very good guide in Osaka. She is an Osaka resident with good English skills.

I wanted to reach out and share some well-deserved praise for Jacqueline, who has assisted me closely with several of my travels.

I have worked with Goway several times in the past two years and every single trip has been unforgettable. Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime! Kayla Covello

I have been booking with GoWay for more than 2 years and feel so fortunate to have the best Travel Advisor, Maria Spitman, making our vacations unforgettable. I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. Darleen
