Explore Scotland's Storied Castles

Scotland's landscape is dotted with an array of stunning castles, each echoing stories from the past. Imagine wandering through the grand halls of Edinburgh Castle, perched atop an ancient volcanic rock, offering breathtaking views of the city below. Or travelling to the coast to visit Dunnottar Castle, a dramatic fortress ruin steeped in history, perched on a rocky cliffside. These timeless bastions are key highlights in custom vacation packages to Scotland, allowing you to step back in time and explore their intriguing legacies.

The Highland Experience

For those who dream of sweeping vistas and raw natural beauty, the Scottish Highlands are a must-see. Here, rugged mountain ranges and glassy lochs paint a picture of tranquillity. Take a hiking tour to the mystical Isle of Skye, renowned for its surreal landscapes and vibrant wildlife. Custom vacation packages to Scotland often include guided tours that offer perfect snapshots of the Highlands' untamed beauty, catering to adventurers and serenity seekers alike.

Scotland's Cultural Tapestry

Scotland's rich culture is a tapestry of tradition and celebration. Each visit can coincide with one of its iconic festivals – from the enchanting melodies of the Highland Games to the evocative dance and music of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Participate in a ceilidh dance, where traditional Scottish music encourages you to join in a whirl of rhythm and reels. Tailoring trips to Scotland allows visitors to immerse themselves fully in these cultural spectacles, offering experiences that are both personal and memorable.

Taste the Flavours of Scotland

Scottish cuisine is a delightful palette of flavours waiting to be explored. Savour haggis, a traditional Scottish delicacy, or indulge in seafood fresh from the North Atlantic waters. Whisky aficionados will find their paradise following the Malt Whisky Trail, travelling through historic distilleries offering the finest scotch tastings. Customized travel packages to Scotland provide culinary enthusiasts with the opportunity to explore food tours that highlight these diverse offerings, ensuring a feast for the senses throughout the journey.

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.

We recently completed a custom Vietnam tour organized by Goway, and it was everything we asked for and more. We would definitely choose Goway again. The true highlights of our trip, however, were our two guides: Vu Dang and Thien. They truly made our experience unforgettable. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind. Their pride in their Vietnamese heritage shone through in every conversation, making our learning experience both deep and engaging. We learned so much in such a short time, and it was always fascinating. I would highly recommend these two guides to anyone visiting Vietnam!Laura Derbyshire

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

Mahalo Goway Travel for helping in planning our group Japan's trip. Lawrence was very helpful & patient with all the changes & additions we did. Also, mahalo to Natasa who helped planned my Australia trip past November. The planning from transportation to tours to hotels worked very smoothly.

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
