Our tour guide Elizabeth (or Elizabetta?) was extremely knowledgeable about the historic buildings and beautiful mosaics that we experienced. Definitely a worthwhile tour. The arrangements to get to Ravenna from Bologna by train for the tour were communicated less than a day before the tour but everything worked out. Highly recommend the tour.
Competence, kindness and...patience

The guide was knowledgeable and the pacing of the visits to the different places where the mosaics could be seen was just right.

This trip was well worth the money. These mosaics are one of a kind. They are jaw dropping...especially considering they are 1500 years old. It is fast paced and requires a lot of walking. The tour guide Marco was fabulous.
Wonderful Tour

Our guide had an indepth knowlage of the 4th and 5th century mosaics that were the subject of the tour. The mosics themselves were impressive. I recommed this tour. Note that you will meet the guide in Revenna, not at the Bologna train station. You recieve the train tickets via email and travel by yourself. This is no problem if you are comfortable riding the rails and have Google maps.
