What are people saying about Ravenna

Marilyn_M, Jun 2026

Smooth process

Very smooth process, we had Claudia as our Venice tour guide, she was fantastic. It was very hot and she kept us in the shade whenever possible. Knowledgeable as she grew up right there. Loved the small group aspect so everyone could hear and keep up. Only wish the driver from port to Venice spoke English so we could learn more on the 2 1/2hr drive. She was great but we could not communicate with her so the ride was quiet (we napped). Overall pleased with the tour!

Post-cruise transport smooth and worry-free

Marco and Giovanna were a dream team in helping our extended family of 6 transfer from the Ravenna cruise port to our Venice hotel. Marco made the drive seem easy while also providing info of the sites along the way and tips for our stay in Venice. Giovanni expertly took us from water taxi through a short route to our hotel door. It helped us get started on a wonderful bookend stay at the end if our cruise.

Private Tour in Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti Day Trip from Florence

Em_V, Jun 2026

The most perfect day!

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Sienna and San Gimignano were just beautiful, each with their own unique charm and stunning scenery, giving us a wonderful taste of the region. Our driver, Marco, was fantastic. He was so relaxed, friendly and great to chat with throughout the day. It was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with him. He went above and beyond to arrange a lunch reservation at a truly magical spot after explaining that the restaurant I had originally requested would reduce our sightseeing time due to its location. His local knowledge and thoughtful recommendations made the entire experience even more special. The winery for lunch was absolutely incredible—the scenery was straight out of a movie. The setting, the food and wine and the atmosphere exceeded all of our expectations. This was the perfect way to see some of the region. It was an experience we will always remember. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tuscany. Thank you Marco for such a special day!

I had no idea how much I didn’t know about the world of “mosaics”!

So much more to learn about the UNESCO mosaics than I had ever imagined. The interpretation, of those in Ravenna, is so fascinating and accurate, according to the gospels. Beautiful works of art from so many centuries ago. Rita, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and shared all of this information and answered any questions we had. She was an excellent tour guide and delightful to spend time with. I highly recommend!

Ravenna-so underrated destination

Where to start? Elisa was most charming educated and accommodating! I have wanted to explore mosaics for 50 years plus and was totally overwhelmed to the point I want to comeback and send a sizable hunk of time just exploring more of the very numerous aspects of Ravenna.. Loved loved loved 🥰

From Bologna or Ravenna Guided tour of the Mosaics in Ravenna

Leslie_B, Apr 2026

Wonderful Experience!

We did 6 tours during our vacation, and this was one of the best. We did the option from Bologna, and the trains are easy to use and the tickets arrived the day before. The mosaics are definitely worth seeing - so impressive that words don't do them justice. Our guide was excellent - very informative and really knew the stories behind the buildings and art. It is a brisk pace but you see 5 very different buildings and have adequate time in each. Made us want to revisit Ravenna.

It adds to the experience when you understand

Our guide was absolutely wonderful. Her english was excellent and her knowledge amazing. In fact we asked her how she remembered everything and it’s clearly her vocation to learn everything she can. It was a real pleasure to spend time with her and we missed her on our exploring the next day.

A trip through time in Ravenna

This tour is a must for persons visiting the Venice/Romanga area. Cristiana shared her wealth of knowledge about the amazing historical sites in Ravenna, allowing time for questions, taking pictures and just gazing at the wondrous views. There is so much to take in and this tour did so much to increase our understanding of the rich history of Ravenna.
