Embrace the Unique Charm of Each Region

Begin your exploration in the north, with private Italy trips that navigate the romantic canals of Venice. Glide peacefully beneath the iconic Bridge of Sighs, enveloped by the city’s unique blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, a perfect start to any Italy vacation packages.

Next, let the vibrant fashion and culinary scenes of Milan captivate you. Delve into the world of haute couture or savour exquisite Italian espresso at a bustling café. These Italy private tours highlight not just the towering Duomo di Milano but also the hidden ateliers that define Milan’s creative spirit.

A Taste of Italy’s Gastronomic Delights

Tuscany’s rolling hills invite you to indulge in the world’s finest wines and rustic cuisine. Private tastings at family-run vineyards offer insights into the art of winemaking, while cooking classes bring Tuscan recipes alive, letting you savour the freshness of local ingredients.

In Rome, cap off a private tour of Rome’s Jewish quarter with a meal in one of its renowned trattorias, followed by a digestivo in a bar in a hidden piazza.

Art and History Await

Florence is an exquisite canvas for art enthusiasts. With Italy private tours, you’ll have the privilege to admire the masterpieces of Michelangelo and Botticelli, housed within the Uffizi Gallery, without the throngs of crowds. This personalized access enriches the narrative of Florence’s pivotal role in shaping Renaissance art.

The whispers of history further call from the ruins of Pompeii, where past civilizations speak through carefully preserved frescoes and artifacts. These private Italy trips afford a deeper connection to the stories etched in stone and ash, offering a profound understanding of Italy’s layered past.

Romantic Escapes and Vibrant Landscapes

For those seeking the quintessential romance of Italy, the Amalfi Coast unfolds a tapestry of vibrant seaside towns. A private guide ensures you don’t miss the secret allure of Positano’s hidden pathways or the fragrant lemon groves near Sorrento.

Alternatively, venture south to Sicily, with its rich cultural interplay of Norman, Arabic and Greek influences. Explore ancient theatres, vibrant markets and tantalizing street food, all tailored through a bespoke Italy private tour.

Step into Your Italian Adventure

Go beyond the ordinary with Italy vacation packages designed to reflect your particular passions, whether that’s immersing yourself in Roman history or delighting in its culinary riches. Consult our experts about the private programs and specific experiences available to you.

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

Harpreet Litt provided us with a rich experience for our week. She offered good choices for local tour companies. We had a very good guide in Osaka. She is an Osaka resident with good English skills.

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
