The guide knew her subject well. It has been able to adapt to a change in the planned program. However, she moved by bike which did not facilitate exchanges.

Excellent and unmissable
Shocking the places we visited. The guide was thorough in the details of each monument we passed, with many details of the history of each. Visit I recommend because the facades are deceiving and the interiors are rich in mosaicism with incredible details. Thank you so much!!!
C
Outstanding mosaics! Must see!!
Luciana was the best guide! She was very informative and patient, attentive to our needs and interests. All of the places we went to were outstanding! We even stopped by a little shop to see how mosaics were made, and were able to buy a souvenir there. I would highly recommend this tour.
P
Nice tour.
We had an excellent tour with our guide Flora. She was gracious, knowledgeable and professional and interspersed our tour with nice stories. We also bought mini mosaics to support a local artist.

Tour if Ravenna
Excellent tour. Excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and pleasant. She arrived early and did a wonderful job.

Ravenna has much to offer.
This was our first visit to Ravenna and we were happy we took the time to do a day trip from Bologna to see this charming small town. Needless to say, having a guide with expertise in the history of Ravenna and, especially the mosaics, for which the town is famous, was a definite plus. Without, her commentary we would have had a difficult time fully appreciating the unique historical value of the sites visited. An added bonus was the regional market that took place that week in the piazza del popolo.

<p>We had a little trouble coordinating the time for the tour to begin because of a lie arrival of our Cruise ship to the city but our guide was very accommodating. She was limited in her ability to do the walking required As were some in our Party so she managed the group while peddling a bicycle.<br/> Our tour was thorough and very informative. She was able to answer all my historical questions and clearly made me realize the importance of Ravenna in hour understating of Roman history. She even let me understand the relationship with Dubrovnik and Venice.<br/> Would certainly go back again. Worth the money for anyone interested in a deep understanding of the city.</p>
