Grand Canal, Venice

Overview

Take a trip to Venice on your Italy vacation

Venice is an Italian city steeped in timeless appeal, often regarded as one of the most beautiful and romantic destinations on the planet. Navigating its tangled streets, free from the chaos of vehicular traffic, is like stepping into a serene yet grand bygone era. 

This aquatic wonderland is renowned for its intricate network of winding canals, which serve as both highways and artful waterways. Gondolas glide effortlessly through the city, and vaporettos whisk you from one picturesque island to another. The iconic Grand Canal is adorned with ornate palazzos. 

Venice's architectural prowess is a testament to its rich history. Majestic churches, such as St. Mark's Basilica, with opulent Byzantine mosaics and grand palaces like the Doge's Palace, exude historical significance. The city's romanticism extends to its charming squares, where you can sip espresso and savour Venetian delights at open-air cafes. Piazza San Marco, Venice's elegant main square, is a testament to the city's timeless allure. 

Venice's narrow streets reveal hidden gems at every turn. Boutiques offer exquisite Murano glassware, handcrafted masks, and high-fashion clothing. The Rialto Bridge connects you to the bustling Rialto Market, where local vendors sell fresh produce, seafood, and spices. 

Venice is a city of traditions, where vibrant festivals like Carnevale and the Historic Regatta celebrate the city's rich cultural heritage. Whether you explore the iconic islands of Murano and Burano, renowned for their glassmaking and lace, or get lost in the city's timeless allure, Venice promises an unforgettable Italian vacation

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

Italy is not just Rome, Venice, Florence and Amalfi Coast... Every region or small town has its own history, art, traditions, culture, peculiarity

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 went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja Breiling

I can't tell you enough how much I love to work with Callie. She is a life saver and I love how attentive she is. Every time I give her an itinerary for a client- she really knocks it out of the park with the proposal. If there are any issues- she is on it right away. Her work ethic is outstanding.Michelle Labarca

I had the pleasure of working with Amelia on a booking for a family of 4 to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. She executed everything perfectly, was attentive to needs and the family was over the top happy with their vacation. She was quick to answer questions and provide helpful feedback. Highly recommended!Jessie Williams

We were trying to navigate Swiss Travel Center to book a 10 day train trip through Switzerland. It was exactly what we wanted but navigating their site was extremely difficult for us. Goway Travel picked up on our plight and put us in contact with Jacqueline Fagooli, one of their agents. From there on everything was so smooth. Their efficiency, communication, and thoroughness were beyond our expectations. The trip was fabulous and kudos to Jacqueline and Goway for their help in making it so.Carolyn McCormack

The destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years. If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek Travel

We had a wonderful and amazing two weeks in North-West Scotland. Shoutout to Jacqueline at Goway Toronto and the driver/guides with Rabbie's minibus tours (Stefan and Willie). Well-chosen hotels and no worries with dietary requirements; every detail was taken care of. Thank you! Ben Daube
