Shore Excursion: Best of Ravenna and surroundings Private Tour
8 hours
Free Cancellation
from
$815
Price varies by group size
Ravenna boasts a very important artistic heritage, cultural richness and historical roots. A visit could not possibly exclude the discovery of its most important treasures. Literally, Ravenna is a place that must be seen piece by piece. And it could not be otherwise, given the amount of mosaics (famously made of tiles) that this locality preserves. With this activity, accompanied by a 100% local guide you will go around the city streets discovering all its important historical vicissitudes that mix distant eras, Empires, Barbarian poets and great stories of conquests and conspiracies. You won't have to think about anything as admission to major monuments such as the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, that to the Basilica of St. Apollinare Nuovo and others will already be booked for you. 3 hours is by no means enough to discover all the city and the card we booked for you gives you access to many other interesting places such as monuments and museums even after the tour.
