About this experience

Ravenna: a treasure of the Mediterranean: A hidden world of mosaics and underground crypts, the absolute pearl of art of Emilia Romagna region. Several populations estabilished on the sandy Adriatic coast. This endless territory of marsh, wetlands, lagoons, swamps, despite being partially unhealthy, turned out to be the perfect shelter for a craddle of civilization. The pines of the coast started to be exploited by romans to build their undefeatable fleet. Our tour will be as rich in detail and complete as possible, in order to let you dive into this golden age, and let you travel back in time with your mind and your senses.

What you'll see and do

  1. Basilica di San Vitale

    We will begin the visit with the church of San Vitale and its mosaics. This is not just the most important byzantine monument in the World, and dut to that a milestone of Unesco heritage, it is a mystic trip as well. It is a trip into the early middle age, and accross a huge book of mosaics and little gems.

  2. Battistero Neoniano (Battistero degli Ortodossi)

    Another Byzantine pearl, and Unesco site, it is famous for its mixture of marbles, mosaics, and sculptures; a unique ensemble of late Roman, Roman, Persian, Greek, and barbarian art.

    30 minutes here · Admission included

  3. Basilica di San Francesco

    Incredible the surprise, welcoming us, after this full immersion into the mosaic tiles, precious stones covered with glass paste and bright colors, set in the millenary red clay bricks: an underground crypt, subject to flooding due to the subsidence of the soil (a structure that reminds us to the Basilica Cistern of Istambul).

    25 minutes here

  4. Basilica di Sant'Apollinare Nuovo

    a Unesco Heritagem a grat temple of early Christian age, full of mosaics, and art masterpieces.

    35 minutes here · Admission included

  5. Archiepiscopal Museum

    Visit to this great Museum, its huge collection of Roman, Byzantine, Barbarian and early middle ages manufacts, moreover an ark consisting of a wooden armor completely covered with finely carved ivory, represents one of the most precious artistic testimonies of the ancient world.

    30 minutes here · Admission included

  6. Mausoleo di Galla Placidia

    our last Unesco site of this great tour, a tomb of the sister of the Byzantine Emperor Onorio. The light filters accross the alabaster glasses, the golden atmosphere spread out all around the inner walls and domes. The ellenistic, the greek, and the persian iconographies tell a story dating many thousands years ago, when the Mediterranean Sea was a unique closed and interconnected basin, and a craddle of several wealthy civilizations.

Art tour of Ravenna and its mosaics (private tour): questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ravenna.

How much does Art tour of Ravenna and its mosaics (private tour) cost?

+

Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ravenna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Art tour of Ravenna and its mosaics (private tour) take?

+

Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ravenna is not rushed.

Is Art tour of Ravenna and its mosaics (private tour) worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ravenna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Art tour of Ravenna and its mosaics (private tour)?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Art tour of Ravenna and its mosaics (private tour) suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Art tour of Ravenna and its mosaics (private tour)?

+

Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ravenna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ravenna and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Art tour of Ravenna and its mosaics (private tour) start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ravenna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Ravenna?

+

On Outty we rank every Ravenna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Tour of Mosaic Tiles in Ravenna, Ravenna: Mosaics and Highlights Guided Tour with Admission Ticket, Private Tour in Siena, San Gimignano and Chianti Day Trip from Florence. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Ravenna?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Ravenna?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
