5.00This was a low impact, slow pace tour of Ravenna. We truly enjoyed Luana and the information she shared with us while on the tour. She followed our pace and shared stories in between us exploring the sites.

5.00Luana is a fantastic guide to discover the wonders of Ravenna. She perfectly managed the timing and attention of our daughters. Helpful and extremely prepared, she will lead you through the heritage of Ravenna by masterfully explaining the symbolism of the mosaics. We did two half-day tours covering almost all the Unesco sites and the Dante area. He also provided valuable advice on activities and restaurants. Absolutely recommended

5.00Luana is an excellent guide. She is well versed in the history of not only Ravena, but Greek and Roman empires in general. We had a very pleasant 3 hour with her and recommend her without reservation. And, the mosaics are spectacular.
