A Day to Remember in Ravenna
Patricia
Outstanding tour! The historical sites were awe-inspiring, particularly the Basilica of San Vitale and the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia. Loved the guide's storytelling, especially the tales about Dante Alighieri. The medieval leaning tower and the Venetian columns at Piazza del Popolo were a treat for the eyes. Highly recommended!

This tour truly made Ravenna come alive for me! The Basilica of San Vitale and the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia was filled with fascinating stories brought to life by our expert guide. The Neonian Baptistry was impressive, its age adding to its grandeur. But the flooded crypt of the Basilica of Saint Francis was the star for me – it was simply ethereal. Five stars for this amazing experience!

Our 2-hour private excursion through Ravenna was nothing short of a blast to the past. From the moment we met our guide at the Basilica of San Vitale entrance, we knew we were in for a rich journey of discovery.
