The Allure of Iceland's Landscape

Begin your journey with an exploration of Iceland's breathtaking landscapes. From towering geysers and cascading waterfalls to lush green valleys and volcanic craters, the Icelandic scenery is a testament to the planet's geological wonders. A private tour allows you to traverse the Golden Circle at your own pace, where highlights include the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall and the serene Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site rich with cultural history and geological significance.

Geysers and Glaciers: Nature's Dramatic Display

Witnessing the Strokkur geyser erupt every few minutes is a magical experience, best enjoyed without the bustling crowds. And for those intrigued by ice, glacier tours offer a rare chance to walk on Europe's largest glacier, Vatnajökull. Private guides ensure your safety and enhance your experience with insightful stories about the glacier's formation and ongoing environmental changes.

An Exclusive Dive into Icelandic Culture

The cultural tapestry of Iceland is as rich and varied as its landscape. Private experiences let you delve deeper into the local way of life, offering unique insights that are often missed by larger groups. Visit traditional Icelandic farms, where you can savor homemade delicacies and learn about the country's deep-rooted agricultural traditions. Alternatively, opt for a private guided history walk through Reykjavík's charming streets to unearth the vibrant tales of Viking settlements and modern Icelandic life.

Savouring Iceland: A Culinary Adventure

A journey through Iceland would be incomplete without indulging in its culinary delights. Private food tours offer a chance to taste the land's bounty, from succulent lamb and freshly caught seafood to the famous Icelandic skyr. Your culinary journey can be customized to include visits to local breweries for a taste of Iceland’s craft beers or a private cooking class where you can learn to prepare traditional dishes.

The Northern Lights: A Private Spectacle

One of the greatest treasures of Icelandic winters is the Northern Lights' ethereal dance. Viewing these vibrant auroras in solitude is truly an awe-inspiring experience. Opt for private tours that take you far from the city's artificial lights, maximizing your chances of witnessing this incredible natural phenomenon. Experienced guides know the best spots and times, sharing tales and scientific explanations while ensuring a cozy experience with hot drinks and warm blankets.

Relaxation and Rejuvenation

Beyond the adventures, Iceland also offers tranquility and relaxation. Immerse yourself in the geothermal wonders of Iceland's hot springs with a Iceland travel package designed for ultimate relaxation. Natural hot springs like the Blue Lagoon provide a luxurious escape surrounded by stunning volcanic landscapes. Choose a private visit to enjoy the serene waters without interruption, a perfect way to rejuvenate after a day of exploration.

Crafting Your Ideal Iceland Adventure

Enhancing your Icelandic experience through Iceland private tours allows for tailored itineraries that cater specifically to your interests and pace. Whether it’s horseback riding across lava fields, hiking into the heart of Icelandic fjords, or exploring the remote Westfjords where wildlife abounds, your private guide shapes each adventure to ensure maximum enjoyment and personal connection with the land.

In Iceland, every path leads to discovery. A personalized journey through this land of contrasts promises not just to see, but to truly experience the hidden gem that is Iceland. Embrace the adventure, delve into the culture, and let the land's enchantment unfold in your own unique Icelandic story.

Globetrotters should visit Iceland twice in their lifetime. Once in summer and another time in Winter. The scenery is very different. You also get to see the puffins in the summer and Northern Lights in the winter

Iceland has a big New Year's celebration where many people flock to the streets, gather around bonfires, enjoy fireworks and party in pubs and bars. Try Hákarl, fermented shark if you dare

Allan Birkett at Goway has been an absolute godsend! Over the past year, he has helped me plan numerous vacations—especially honeymoons—and has been an incredible partner every step of the way. He is always quick to respond, patient with my clients' frequent changes, and goes above and beyond to help whenever an issue comes up. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication make my job as a travel advisor so much easier. I truly appreciate everything Allan does and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional service. Thank you, Allan, for always being thereBrooke Echols

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay
