The second stop is the first street food stop: you will eat a local delicacy, LA PIADINA. Piadina is a traditional Italian flatbread that is popular in the Emilia-Romagna region. It is a staple food in many Italian households and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. The bread is made with flour, water, and salt, and is typically cooked on a hot griddle or stone. The piadina can be filled with a variety of ingredients, such as cheese, cured meats, vegetables, or spreads. One popular filling is stracchino cheese and prosciutto, a classic combination that is both savory and satisfying.

Ravenna is a beautiful city to walk around, all the most important monuments are in the center, with the bike rented at the station, and in the cycle path you can get to the basilica of San appolinare in class...
Great way to see the sites

I was a little wary in choosing this tour as it didn’t have many reviews but we were just in town for a few hours on our way to a cruise and wanted to see the sites and grab some lunch and this ticked all the boxes. Marta was truly a gem and her passion for her home and knowledge of the sites was outstanding. The food was also fabulous and we were stuffed! Highly recommend this tour and hopefully you’re lucky enough to get Marta as your guide.

Can't tell you hpow it was as our guide didn't show UP! or contact us - we waited in the heat for an hour - spoke with several other guides in the area - one said - thats why we never recommend Viator. I did have ever get a full refund after getting very cranky as they billed me the day before the tour. We only had two days there so we were so terribly disappointed.
Really special tour

Marta was a wealth of fascinating background for the stunning mosaics we saw. The food stops were nice, although in retrospect we could have taken the tour without them. But it was a lovely day in gorgeous Ravenna!

Our guide, Cynthia, was exceptional. She knew the stories behind the mosaics. She took us to her friend’s shop and showed us how modern mosaics are made. The food samples and pasta lunch were very good and traditional for the area. This was our favorite tour on our travels.
A must do!

Fantastic tour, perfect length and mix of history, art, food and wine. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had many suggestions for other things to do and see. A must see for history and/or art lovers. Highly recommend!
