    Mosaics and so much more!

    Marta was an amazingly knowledgeable tour guide! Her background in Art History really added to the already awe-inspiring mosaics. She made the entire 5 hour tour engaging, educational and so much more than we had hoped for. Highly recommend!

    Terrific way to see Ravenna

    This tour took us to the sites in Ravenna but also to Basilica di Sant'Apollinare in Classe which is outside Ravenna and not included on the other tours that we searched. Wonderful mosaics, not to be missed! Our guide was great; the whole tour was a pleasure.

    What should I bring or wear?

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.

    +
