The Enchanting Castles of Romania

Begin your journey with a visit to Romania's iconic castles, each offering a unique tale from the pages of history. Bran Castle, often associated with the Dracula legend, stands as a dramatic silhouette against the misty Carpathians. Tour its gothic chambers and let your imagination wander through centuries of folklore and mystery. Another must-visit is the opulent Peles Castle, nestled in the Carpathian foothills, known for its exquisite architecture and lush furnishings that narrate the grandeur of a bygone era.

Bucharest: The City of Contrasts

Bucharest, Romania’s dynamic capital, is a city of contrasts where Belle Époque architecture meets modern skyscrapers. Stroll along Calea Victoriei, a historic avenue lined with museums, shops, and cafes, reflect on the nation’s tumultuous journey through its Communist past by visiting the Palace of the Parliament—one of the world’s largest administrative buildings. While here, indulge in our custom travel packages to Romania that allow you to experience the city like a local—explore the vibrant street art in hidden alleyways, attend a traditional music performance, or savour authentic Romanian dishes at an open-air market.

Transylvania: Mystique and Majesty

A trip to Romania would be incomplete without experiencing the mystique of Transylvania. This region, often shrouded in legends, is home to the medieval town of Sibiu with its cobblestone streets and stunning baroque architecture. Meanwhile, Brașov offers a delightful blend of Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance architecture. Wander through its charming old town or embark on a hike up Tampa Mountain for panoramic views that capture the essence of this enchanting region.

The Bucolic Countryside of Maramureș

Maramureș is a step back in time, where traditional wooden churches and handcrafted structures dot the pastoral landscape. Engage with the local culture by participating in crafts workshops, or attend local festivals that illustrate the vibrant traditions that have been lovingly preserved. Journey through this region with our Romania travel packages, designed to showcase the authentic and rustic beauty of its picturesque villages.

Immerse in Romanian Gastronomy

Culinary aficionados will find a rich palette of flavours in Romanian cuisine. From the hearty sarmale (cabbage rolls) to the sweet indulgence of papanasi (fried doughnuts with cheese), every meal is a celebration of local produce and culinary traditions. Turn your meal into an experience by joining a cooking class or wine tasting tour, providing a deeper insight into the gastronomic delights of the region.

Adventure Awaits in the Carpathians

For those seeking the adrenaline rush, the Carpathian Mountains offer a playground of activities. Whether you prefer hiking, birdwatching, or skiing in the winter months, these mountains provide a breathtaking backdrop for adventure. Explore the dense forests and discover a biodiversity hotspot teeming with wildlife, making it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts.

Every corner of Romania tells a story, from its towering peaks to its bustling cities and tranquil villages. Our custom travel packages to Romania promise an expertly tailored experience, ensuring that every traveler's desires are met with meticulous attention to detail.

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.

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
