5.00This walking tour was amazing! We knew little about the city when we booked the tour and our guide delved into its history from the time of the Roman Empire. The mosaics are exquisite and we were able to understand them in the context of the time in which they were created.
Best tour we could imagine!

5.00Eliza met us at the station and we learned that we were the only participants of the tour that day. Our thanks goes to the organization for not cancelling! - We had a great time with charming and well informed Eliza and learned a lot of interesting details about Ravenna and the mosaics. After the tour we were full of wonderful impressions and were very glad to take a break. In the afternoon we visited the two remaining sites which belonged to the tour and were self guided.

5.00Our guide Marina was excellent. She had humor and was very well prepared about both the area and the places we visited. She also brought lots of little details that others might not have. The peace was easy, and our group was small, which made it easy to talk with her one on one.
Wonderful Ravenna

5.00Walking tour was very interesting. Our guide did an excellent job. She was very knowledgeable about the history and facts. She was a Ravenna native. If your hearing isn't good, you will need to be close to guide in church settings to listen
