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

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

Bijal and Martin (tour guide in Kenya) made this the trip of a lifetime. I felt safe every minute of the trip. I did not care for the travel from the Serengeti to Ngorogoro Crater. I felt the last hotel was too far from the crater i was exhausted not wanted to travel to the crater. The travel was absolutely brutal for 6 hoursKathie Becker

Our safari in Tanzania was excellent. Brooke Theron, our Goway representative, was easy to work with, responsive and knowledgeable. Our guide in Tanzania, Anwar Razak, was outstanding. His knowledge and his driving ability was impressive. He was also engaging. We enjoyed our time with Anwar. The camps that Goway recommended were comfortable, welcoming and surprisingly luxurious while capturing the essence of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We had a wonderful trip. Jack B.

I am so happy to use Goway for my tour experience while visiting Vietnam during Oct 15 through October 29, 2026. We had 3 very good, thoughtful, and caring guides in Hanoi, Danang, and Ho Chi Minh City. They were very knowledgeable for each of their respective areas. they all fulfilled every part of our itinerary. I wish to give an extra acknowledgment to my guide in Danang and Hoi An. Mr. Phung Van Hung was very friendly and caring for me. During my stay in Hoi An, I became sick and required a visit to the local hospital in Hoi An. I contacted Mr. Phung, and he graciously offered to take me and stay with me to interpret during my visit for medical care even though he was not working that day. I really appreciate his extra above and beyond service he provided. I really must let Goway know, he is a wonderful guide!George C.

Suzzette and her team provided exceptional support throughout our year‑long planning process for our Bali group. Despite multiple changes, updates, and last‑minute cancellations, she remained organized, responsive, and solution‑focused. Asia Trails Indonesia delivered a seamless experience from arrival to departure, and our guides, Dayu and Adit, were outstanding; prompt, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. The coordination across multiple departure cities, the curated excursions, and the overall flow of the itinerary were executed beautifully. My group thoroughly enjoyed the trip and is already asking about returning. I highly recommend Suzzette as a group coordinator for her professionalism, dedication, and high‑quality service.Anchored Memories Travel

Mike K. graciously provided us with a perfect itinerary, offering us flexible high quality options for our trip. We added in a few complex details and he maneuvered around them creating smooth transitions. Planning an overseas 11 day trip can be overwhelming and Mike made everything feel easy. I highly recommend!Amy Challgren

Goway staff was available to us throughout our entire trip to Costa Rica. Their involvement was seamless and surprisingly smooth between them and all of our hotels and tours. We have been totally impressed with their involvement with our travel agent and their complete resolution of the only problem we had during the 2 different international trips that we have taken.Diana McCrory

Thank you to Goway for a great and enjoyable 7 day tour in China, for our Canadian group of 14! Very special thanks to the local guides in Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing ( Richard, Richard and James) who were second to none! Each was a knowledgeable ambassador for their home city, working hard to ensure our enjoyment and comfort, and to showcase the beauty of each area and its current and historical sites. They very kindly and patiently assisted everyone, and especially accommodated 2 of our group who encountered unexpected wellness challenges. The local bus drivers for our group were experts too, keeping us on time and safe on the roads and highways. Hotels were beautiful, welcoming, well located and appointed, quiet, comfortable and clean. Additional travel arrangements by air and high speed train went off without a hitch. KATHLEEN LLOYD

This was the first time we used Goway Travel and Brooke Theron was absolutely the best to deal with. Our safari in Africa was fabulous and we were able to have all four questions answered before we left. It was a trip to remember and we would recommend both Brooke and Goway to other who are looking for a great experience. Thanks Brooke and Goway.Joyce Robinson
