Worthwhile tour of the mosaics - The guide was knowledgeable and the pacing of the visits to the different places where the mosaics could be seen was just right.

This trip was well worth... - This trip was well worth the money. These mosaics are one of a kind. They are jaw dropping...especially considering they are 1500 years old. It is fast paced and requires a lot of walking. The tour guide Marco was fabulous.

Wonderful Tour - This was an excellent tour. I got the option which included train tickets to and from Bologna. The tour was very well organized and I was provided with clear instructions. The tour guide was exceptionally good. She provided us with a lot of interesting descriptions and history. I highly recommend this tour.

One of a kind informative tour - Our guide had an indepth knowlage of the 4th and 5th century mosaics that were the subject of the tour. The mosics themselves were impressive. I recommed this tour. Note that you will meet the guide in Revenna, not at the Bologna train station. You recieve the train tickets via email and travel by yourself. This is no problem if you are comfortable riding the rails and have Google maps.

Now Lord you may let your servant go in peace...he has seen Ravenna! - Ravenna is rich in Byzantine period basilicas and their fantastic mosaics! My guide was thoroughly knowledgeable and engaging and did her best to show me Ravenna's treasures most of which were UNESCO designated. The city is very walkable and tourist friendly with taxis/buses right outside the station if you should get winded. UBER is totally useless here as the app can never find drivers willing to pick you up from ANYWHERE in the city. If you want to visit sites outside the city such as San't Apollinaire en Class (well worth the taxi or bus ride!) take a taxi from the station - they are all lined up in order of availability to the LEFT of the exit doors...

Beautiful Ravenna - We had a lovely 3 hour tour, guided by Sergio. What a surprise this city was, with 8 Unesco sites, of which we saw 5. Sergio was very knowledge of the history of the city, dating back to the Romans. We highly recommend this tour if you enjoy Art, architecture and history.
