Venture Through Edinburgh and Its Festivals

Scotland's capital, Edinburgh, is a city that effortlessly blends ancient tradition with modern dynamism. The Edinburgh Castle, perched atop Castle Rock, offers a panoramic view of the city. As you wander down the Royal Mile, the city's history comes alive in taverns, boutique stores, and historical landmarks.

Time your visit to coincide with the world-renowned Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This event transforms the city into a vibrant hub of artistic expression, showcasing an astounding array of theatrical performances, music, and art, reflecting why it's a pivotal inclusion in most Scotland vacation packages.

The Allure of Scottish Isles

Venturing beyond the mainland, the Scottish Isles offer an experience that feels like stepping into another world.

Culinary enthusiasts will relish the fresh seafood found in local eateries, a testament to the rich bounty of Scotland’s waters.

Further afield, the Orkney Islands entice with their unique archaeological sites.

Include these islands in your itinerary for a magical twist on traditional Scotland vacation packages.

For somewhere a little lesser known, make sure to visit Dunfermline, the old capital of Scotland. Rich in history, it’s home to the impressive Dunfermline Abbey where many Scottish kings and queens are buried, including Robert the Bruce.

Many tourists don’t realize how diverse Scotland’s regions are, each area has its own distinct culture, accents, and traditions. For example, the Outer Hebrides have a strong Gaelic heritage that’s still thriving.. Also, Scotland has some of the most beautiful white sand beaches in Europe, especially on the west coast and islands.

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
