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

Michael Keon arranged our recent trip to Malta. I gave him a rough outline of what we were looking for and he responded quickly making great suggestions, offering alternatives as needed and booking everything. The hotel, excursions and transport he arranged were all exactly what we hoped for. We will be asking Michael to book our future European vacations. Mayssa Mirshak

Our first trip with Goway was a total joy. Shalini worked with me to plan a trip for 5 adults to Portugal. She is a gem! Always responded quickly and offered great suggestions for activities, worked with our preferences and created an ideal itinerary for a week in Porto and Lisbon. The tours were excellent with engaging local guides. The food tour in Lisbon was a highlight. Everything was top notch - flight schedule, hotels, activities, even the weather! Patricia

It is with the utmost pleasure and heartfelt appreciation that I share my exceptional experience working with Taha Colombowala, Goway's distinguished Groups Specialist. Our journey together began in October 2023, when Taha took the helm in orchestrating what was to be a remarkable group trip to Ghana. When unforeseen circumstances necessitated a change in plans, Taha demonstrated his extraordinary expertise by recommending Morocco as an alternative destination — a suggestion that proved to be nothing short of absolutely brilliant! From the very first interaction to the final farewell, Taha has been a consummate professional in every sense of the word. His lightning-fast response times, encyclopedic knowledge of destinations, and remarkable ability to pivot seamlessly under pressure are truly second to none. What sets Taha apart, however, is not only his professional acumen but also his warm, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic attitude toward accommodating the unique needs and personalities of every member of our group. Taha Colombowala is, without question, a shining star within the Goway family, and an extraordinary ambassador for everything the brand represents. I cannot recommend him highly enough — he has exceeded every expectation and then some. Working with Taha has been an absolute privilege, and I look forward to many more incredible adventures ahead!DESIREE DUCKETT

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
