Marta was an excellent guide for several reasons; her professionalism, her depth of knowledge, her love of the art, architecture and history enhanced our tour. She was accommodating and gracious when we were late.
A beautiful city, both the mosaics and the city center. A must-see. I want to congratulate Chiara, our guide. It has been spectacular. It is evident that she knows and lives the history of the city.
Magnificent cultural experience with an enthusiastic guide who was able to share her knowledge
The most beautiful mosaics in the world in a beautiful city with a lot of history. San Vitale and the two amazing San Apolinar
For this pleasant experience we had Marta as our guide. An extremely prepared professional, ready to answer any questions and also very pleasant as a person, no small thing having to spend 3 hours there. It was a very nice morning and we will take home all the wonderful things Marta taught us.
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.
Marta was a wonderful guide... Very thorough, knowledgeable and kind as well as patient. We learned so much. Our three hours flew by!
Very informative and indescribably beautiful. Our guide was especially good putting things into historical perspective. Easy walking through a lovely city.
Best way to experience Ravenna in less than half a day. Very knowledgeable and agreeable guide (Martha). All of the main sites, no waiting.
The mosaics are extraordinary and our guide very knowledgeable of the art form and the history and significance of each building.
