Unveiling Italy’s Timeless Treasures

Italy boasts a myriad of must-visit cities. Florence, often referred to as the cradle of the Renaissance, is home to world-renowned museums and classical art treasures, including Michelangelo’s David. Wander through the cobblestoned streets to discover piazzas bustling with life and cafes serving potent Italian espresso.

In Venice, the famous lagoon city built on stilts, explore its intricate canal system from a gondola, marvel at the grandeur of St. Mark’s Basilica and traverse the iconic Rialto Bridge.

The Cultural Heartbeat

Rome, the Eternal City, blends history with the hustle and bustle of modern life. Stand in awe of the Colosseum’s colossal architecture or toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain to ensure your return. Each corner of the city tells a story, from the whispering walls of the Pantheon to vibrant neighbourhoods like Trastevere with its lively trattorias.

The cultural bounty doesn’t end there. A journey along the Amalfi Coast provides breathtaking views atop steep cliffs, with every bend revealing picturesque towns like Positano and Ravello. These areas are perfect for those considering custom vacation packages to Italy that focus on both relaxation and exploration.

A Gastronomic Adventure

In Naples, the birthplace of pizza, indulge in a slice of Margherita that embodies simplicity and flavour. Venturing into Tuscany, enjoy a food and wine tour that pairs local produce with elegant Chianti wines, capturing the essence of Italian culinary tradition.

Those interested in more hands-on experiences can opt for cooking classes in the Emilia-Romagna region, known for its balsamic vinegar and parmesan cheese. These tours of Italy are perfect for food lovers who wish to bring a piece of Italian culinary magic back home.

Experiencing Italy’s Natural Beauty

Beyond its cities and food, Italy’s landscapes are nothing short of spectacular. The undulating hills of Tuscany offer paths for cycling through vineyards and olive groves. In contrast, the majestic Dolomites in the north provide exhilarating hiking trails with panoramic views that promise serenity and adventure.

For seaside lovers, Cinque Terre’s pastel-coloured fishing villages perched on cliffsides offer dramatic views of the Ligurian Sea. Here, trails connect the towns and offer breathtaking vantage points of this picturesque coastline.

Italy is full of hidden culinary gems, but one place that really stands out is Trattoria di Via Serra in Bologna. It’s beloved by locals for its authentic Emilian dishes like handmade tortellini in brodo and rich tagliatelle al ragù

One unforgettable tradition travelers should try to experience is a sagra—a local food festival that celebrates a specific dish, ingredient, or harvest. These are often held in small towns, especially in the summer and fall, and they offer an amazing window into real Italian life

Most tourists don’t realize just how deeply regional Italy is. Not just in terms of food, but also in language, traditions, and identity. Italian culture is really a patchwork of local cultures

We are still on our journey in Italy. At Capri now and heading to the Amalfi Coast. So far, we can’t thank Goway enough for putting our itinerary together so quickly. Everything is going well and hope the next 10 days are perfect too. Gladys Vivian

Can't say enough good things about Goway Travel. From the very start, our travel rep, Harpreet, listened carefully to what we were hoping to see and do on our first trip to Japan. She asked great questions and then came back to us with a detailed itinerary packed with adventure and fun, and all within our travel budget. From the moment we took off from LAX, Harpreet had made sure we had every tour voucher, hotel voucher, plane ticket, train ticket, literally every detail covered. All we had to do was follow our itinerary. Also, Harpreet booked us into terrific hotels. Each one was spotlessly clean, comfortable, included a full (and delicious) breakfast and, most importantly, was centrally located to all of the activities she had planned for us. So everything was a 5 or 10-minute walk away. In three weeks' time we were able to visit six cities and so many fascinating shrines, temples, castles, imperial palaces - most of which were World Heritage sites. Harpreet also tucked in fabulous "experiences" like learning how to make sushi with a professional chef, enjoying a tea ceremony and watching graceful Geishas dance. My husband and I are seasoned travelers. But we don't speak Japanese and we really knew very little about the country. There is no way we would have been able to see and do all of the fascinating things we did in Japan if we hadn't chosen Goway Travel to be our guide. Many thanks for an unforgettable trip!

Great country (Italy), great people and love the feel you get by just being you. Ingrid Aird did a great job with a pair of tours one private and one group. Organizing pickup from airport and flights. Hotel, Enterprise Hotel, after a bit of a rough start getting us into a proper room, was more than excellent.Thomas Helps

We were looking forward to a magical vacation in Greece, and Goway Travel delivered on all fronts. This is the second time that we have booked with them (the first being an incredible excursion in Thailand), and everything went along swimmingly. Only on one occasion did a tour go sideways, but our Goway specialist (Patrick) took care of it for us. When your tour involves many flights, numerous hotels, various tours, ferries, and transfers, it is nice to know that your travel specialist can handle it all. Goway (from Patrick to all the other staff involved) handled everything in such a professional manner. Thanks Goway for such an incredible experience in Greece. I look forward to another adventure in the near future!Jenny Friess

We recently returned from France - three cities in two weeks - and our trip was fantastic! Jacqueline helped us with a return to France with no worries and concerns. Drivers met us at every destination- hotels were superb and the individual tours memorable. This is a return vacation with Goway and we could not be more pleased. The customer service is top notch and all questions answered promptly. For us seniors, we appreciate all the thoughtfulness and consideration.ElizaGray

While researching suppliers for a clients Thailand honeymoon, I remembered being referred to GoWay by a longterm TA ….because they “get it right and get it done!” I had already started their training modules, so I put in a quote. Immediately, Taylor responded with a very thorough email and we decided to chat. I gave him my specifics and he again responded immediately and matched my client’s travel needs 100%. I found it comforting to speak with a country expert with the knowledge I needed. My clients booked their vacation and are very excited about their itinerary! Thank you Taylor for making this process seamless.Karla B

Our rep at GoWay, Kimberly, was fantastic from start to finish. She came up with the exact itinerary we wanted for Melbourne, Uluru, Cairns and Sydney, and assisted us with both international and domestic flights to help us get the best rates. Once we were on the trip, everything flowed seamlessly and every tour and transport was on time.Lisa Wildes
