    Not private

    This truly was not a private tour. It started with one person picked you up. Dropped you off to meet someone, then they gave you a tour guide. She showed you around. Then she left. Then you met someone to put you on a train by yourself Then you came back met someone to call a car for someone to take you to the drop off. It was totally not private and the cost was very high.

    Response from the operator: Dear customer, we are sorry for this review which we believe is truly inappropriate. In fact, your tour was absolutely private and composed as follows (as written in the program sent to you before the departure): the tour began in Porto Corsini where your PRIVATE driver was waiting for you. With a PRIVATE vehicle you arrived in Bologna, where a certified PRIVATE guide was waiting for you for a PRIVATE walking tour. In a two and half hour tour, she showed you the city speaking about its history and curiosities. Afterwards, you would have to taste the local products from one of our collaborating shops and then take part in the San Luca train. Instead you went to eat in a place chosen by you, without telling us. The lady felt sick following lunch and you didn't take part in the train to San Luca, blaming us. Finally, your PRIVATE driver waited for you to take you back to Ravenna with a PRIVATE vehicle. In summary, every time there has been a change of activity, a person from our staff has always picked you up and accompanied you where necessary, following the organized itinerary without ever leaving you alone. Furthermore, we were available for every need and request, even despite your impatience and lack of education. The tour would have gone as planned if you had followed it, in a PRIVATE way. Hoping to have resolved any doubts, we wish you a good day!

    DA Ravenna: Bologna Day Trip with Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does DA Ravenna: Bologna Day Trip with Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $605 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 DA Ravenna: Bologna Day Trip with Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 DA Ravenna: Bologna Day Trip with Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 3 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 DA Ravenna: Bologna Day Trip with Lunch?

    +

    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 DA Ravenna: Bologna Day Trip with Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book DA Ravenna: Bologna Day Trip with Lunch?

    +

    Around 1 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does DA Ravenna: Bologna Day Trip with Lunch 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.

    What is included in DA Ravenna: Bologna Day Trip with Lunch?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; DA staff welcome Bologna Tour; Private 2-hour tour of Bologna; Certified Guide; and Lunch. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does DA Ravenna: Bologna Day Trip with Lunch include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is DA Ravenna: Bologna Day Trip with Lunch offered in?

    +
