Must See in Emilia Romagna
The mosaic in Ravenna is a “must see” if you are in Emilia Romagna region. The tour took us to 4 Cathedral/Basilicas in Ravenna that showcased the amazing mosaic that were breathtaking. Highly recommended

Great adventure thru Ravenna
Great adventure through Ravenna. Ravenna is a significant, historical place and the guide was terrific in giving the history of the past and how the city has adapted. We highly recommend this tour.

Our guide crammed too...
Our guide crammed too much into one day and went into too much detail on each place we visited on a cold rainy day.
Operator response
Hi Lynn, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the tour felt overwhelming and uncomfortable given the weather conditions. While our guides aim to offer enriching experiences, we understand that too much detail and a packed schedule can be exhausting—especially on a cold, rainy day. We hope to see you again on another sunny tour! Happy travels, Withlocals Team

Great day in Ravenna
We had a wonderful time on our tour of Ravenna with Eletta. We met her at the train station in Bologna and took the train with her to Ravenna. On the train, she explained Italian history and how it related to what we saw. She bought all the tickets in advance and we were able to quickly move through any lines to see the beautiful mosaics. Eletta is an art professor and an expert in art history. She explained all of the dazzling artwork. There is no way that we could have navigated all of the sites on our own in one day. We had a delicious lunch at the beautiful market. She kindly helped us order, as most of the servers did not speak English. She also stopped twice for us to have a cappuccino. Thank you Eletta for sharing your love of art with others. We had a wonderful time on our tour and learned so much.
