Rita was an exceptional guide, taking us through three UNESCO sites. She is extremely knowledgable and I love how she shared anecdotes from her youth. If you love learning about history through art, this tour is a must.

Our tour guide was EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the history of Ravenna and how it influenced these stunning mosaics! Photos simply don’t do these pieces of art any justice, and would highly recommend this tour.
