Half Day Early Morning Vatican Tour & Half Day Private Catacombs Tour

Your Semi-Private Early Morning Vatican Tour will begin near the Vatican Museums' entrance. Here you will meet your professional and charismatic tour guide. The tour will begin with the Pinecone Courtyard and Octagonal Courtyard. Learn about the greatest statues of antiquity. From the mysterious composition of the Greek statue of the Laocoon, to the Apollo Belvedere and the Belvedere Torso, which despite its ruined state, inspired generations of artists. Then, stop to admire the art and decoration of the Gallery of the Maps and the Gallery of the Tapestries. Then, onto to the world-renowned Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo's masterpiece. Because this Chapel is the number one attraction inside the Vatican, LivTours believes it is important to give guests the time and space they need to fully appreciate it. Stand in amazement as you gaze onto Michelangelo's awe-inspiring ceiling frescoes. Wonder over the breathtaking "The Last Judgement" before the major surge of crowds. Your tour will continue by visiting the Raphael Rooms before the rush of tourists. Guests will be privy to some of the most important works of art in the museum -- all without the rush of the usual crowds around them. With your tour guide by your side, you'll learn about the intriguing stories and meaning behind the paintings that adorn the walls of the pope's private apartments. Once you're done, you'll head directly into St. Peter's Basilica. This VIP access saves time and allows you to skip-the-line. Once inside, you'll be greeted by the breathtaking space, which is the largest Catholic church in the world. Two of the glorious works of art that you will get to see up close include Michelangelo's Pietà and Bernini's Baldacchino. Before you leave St. Peter's Basilica, your guide will tell you about the Papal Tombs and share how to access the dome of St. Peter's. Conclude your Early Morning Vatican Tour by walking around Piazza San Pietro Square and taking in the grandeur that is St. Peter's.

DAY

Discovering the Best of the Colosseum

On this small day excursion, the Colosseum and Ancient Rome with Exclusive Arena Access, is the perfect way to explore Ancient Rome. This excursion gives you skip-the-line access into the Colosseum where you will step out onto the restricted arena floor. Visit the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum with an expert tour guide in a small group. After passing through security, you will walk through the Gladiators Gate to the Colosseum's exclusive arena floor and step out directly onto the same level where the gladiators would fight. It's an incredible perspective that is only possible for a limited number of visitors. From the restricted arena floor, you will also be up close to the Colosseum underground, having an unobstructed view of the fascinating dungeons where the shows were managed and coordinated. Once you have enjoyed exclusive access to the arena floor, your guide will lead you up to the second floor where you can enjoy the view from Caesar's balcony, hear amazing stories and anecdotes and get a better picture of what it all looked like thousands of years ago. After the visit to the Colosseum, you will walk towards another magnificent archaeological site, the nearby Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. Learn about the origins of Rome and the strategy that helped this ancient power grow, including a stunning view of the Circus Maximus and hear stories about Emperor Nero and the famous chariot races. The next stop is the Roman Forum, the political and commercial center of ancient Rome. The sheer size of the excavation site and the fascinating ruins of basilicas, political buildings, temples and more, will stimulate your imagination of the Roman life. This once-in-a-lifetime tour concludes with stories about the victorious parades of Roman soldiers as they passed through the magnificent arches to commemorate military triumphs and other significant events that have defined Ancient Rome.

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

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
