Discovering the Majesty of Helsinki

Begin your Finnish journey in the vibrant capital of Helsinki, a city that hums with creativity and innovation. Finland private tours in Helsinki often include explorations of its iconic architecture, such as the awe-inspiring Helsinki Cathedral with its elegant dome and neoclassical façades. Stroll through the bustling Market Square where local vendors offer Finnish delicacies, from savoury muikku (fried vendace) to sweet pulla (cardamom-spiced buns).

A Taste of Tradition

In Helsinki, the culinary scene is a delightful fusion of traditional Finnish flavours and modern cuisine. Consider participating in a private cooking class, where expert chefs guide you through crafting classic dishes like karjalanpiirakka, a savory rice pastry, and flavorful reindeer stew. These intimate classes provide an authentic taste of Finland’s culinary heritage, offering insights into its deep-rooted traditions.

The Serenity of Finnish Lapland

Venturing north, Finnish Lapland unfolds in a breathtaking tapestry of snow-capped landscapes and ethereal skies. Here, trips to Finland transform into enchanting winter wonderlands. Private experiences in Finland in this region might include a thrilling husky sled ride through pristine forests or an enchanting night in a glass igloo, beneath the dazzling aurora borealis.

Embrace the Wilderness

For those seeking solitude and natural beauty, a visit to a reindeer farm offers a glimpse into the traditional Sámi way of life. Sámi guides, renowned for their profound knowledge of the Arctic, lead intimate tours allowing travellers to connect with these majestic creatures. Learn about reindeer herding, an integral part of Sámi culture, through engaging and personal stories shared by the guides.

Exploring the Archipelago

No trips to Finland are complete without exploring its captivating archipelago, a labyrinth of islands dotted across the Baltic Sea. Private boat tours allow you to meander through this serene landscape, stopping at picturesque fishing villages and secluded beaches. Each island offers a unique charm, from rustic wooden saunas to lighthouses overlooking vast, tranquil waters.

Sustainable Journeys

Environmental consciousness is deeply woven into Finnish culture, and many private tours incorporate sustainable practices. Experience eco-friendly boating that minimizes environmental impact or join guided wildlife walks to discover the diverse ecosystems of the archipelago. These activities not only showcase Finland’s stunning natural beauty but also encourage the preservation of its breathtaking landscapes.

Cultural Immersion in Turku

Turn your gaze to Turku, Finland’s oldest city where history comes alive. On a Finland private tour, explore the medieval Turku Castle, its walls echoing tales of knights and nobility. The cobblestone streets and vibrant cultural scene offer a perfect blend of the past and present, inviting you to discover local arts and crafts markets and contemporary Finnish art exhibits.

Art and Innovation

Turku is a city that thrives on creativity. Private art tours guide you through the city’s rich tapestry of galleries and workshops, where you can meet local artisans and observe traditional craftsmanship. Whether it’s pottery, weaving, or glassblowing, these tours provide a personal insight into Finland’s artistic heart, celebrating its history and innovation.

Embarking on a journey through Finland is more than just a trip; it's an invitation to immerse yourself in its enchanting blend of natural wonders and cultural riches.

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.

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
