Guided Tour of Mosaic Tiles in Ravenna - Roberta, our guide for Ravenna was great. Very knowledgeable. We've had on Sunday, which was less crowded. The hard part was very hot day at the beginning of June. But it was worth it!

Nose up and....To be amazed.... - We visited Ravenna my wife and I in early May. A very well articulated visit, with 3 very interesting stops, accompanied by a very good guide (being so many we used the radio to be able to follow the descriptions well) who for almost three hours did not stop a moment, passionately, to tell you even the smallest curiosities about what we were seeing, really congratulations! Exciting and really recommended!

Even wonders if they are explained are better - Obviously the judgment is not on the mosaics (simply beautiful) but on the added value of the guided tour that prepares you well for what you see, avoids the queues, makes you enjoy the experience to the fullest. Highly recommended.

Mosaic tiles, tiles of peoples - The name Ravenna and everything it evokes, alone is worth a visit: powerful and elegant monuments, dazzling light of tiny tesserae, stories of kings, emperors... the visit with the archaeologist Dr. Roberta added that quid essential: overall picture of Ravenna, calm and passionate explanation of events, images become iconic as the doves of the mausoleum of galla placidia, figures Of the past... of a distant past yet rediscovered so close, for its global and current spirit... unmissable

Meraviglia - Ravenna is a unique city of art that deserves more attention. Our guide Angela has professional skills in the field of art (and not only ) really remarkable, well above the norm, as well as being able to transmit them with simplicity, affably. The route winds through the places of interest with ease, accessible to all

Mosaics but not only: Ravenna with Ivan - Our guide Ivan managed to make a long 3-hour ride seem like a walk among friends, explaining everything in detail in a comprehensive way but, at the same time, lightly! Seen all five UNESCO monuments, walking through the city of which we were also explained some particularities. Thank you.
