    A Day to Remember in Ravenna

    Outstanding tour! The historical sites were awe-inspiring, particularly the Basilica of San Vitale and the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia. Loved the guide's storytelling, especially the tales about Dante Alighieri. The medieval leaning tower and the Venetian columns at Piazza del Popolo were a treat for the eyes. Highly recommended!

    Amazing tour!!

    This tour truly made Ravenna come alive for me! The Basilica of San Vitale and the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia was filled with fascinating stories brought to life by our expert guide. The Neonian Baptistry was impressive, its age adding to its grandeur. But the flooded crypt of the Basilica of Saint Francis was the star for me – it was simply ethereal. Five stars for this amazing experience!

    Ravenna was peace to our eyes

    In the delightful company of Elisa, an expert on Ravenna's splendid mosaics and attractions, I enjoyed a fantastic day filled with learning and laughter. She is not only knowledgeable but also witty and kind-hearted.

    Exploring Ancient Treasures with Cristiana

    What a blast we had with Cristiana! She picked us up at the Bologna train station and whisked us away to Ravenna in her car. She gave us an awesome tour of all the ancient sites, both downtown and on the outskirts. The tile work blew us away—it's seriously stunning stuff. She helped us focus on the coolest bits, which we would've totally missed on our own. And then, we stopped for a quick bite of piadine with her in the square. What a day!

    Exploring Ravenna's Ancient Sites

    We had an incredibly enriching and enjoyable day. Our guide met us at the Bologna train station and drove us to Ravenna. The tour he provided was thorough yet focused, covering both the city center and outskirts' ancient sites. The tile work we encountered was simply breathtaking. His guidance helped us appreciate the most pertinent and intriguing aspects. Without his expertise, navigating the sites would have been challenging. We also stopped for a delightful lunch of piadine in the square. Overall, it was a memorable day filled with wonderful experiences and cherished memories.
