    Bologna, Ravenna & Florence Recommendations

    In the course of researching our trip to Italy in March 2026, we were fortunate to work with Helena Kyriakides, and her company Yummy Italy. She was able to explain and suggest solutions to our inability to book a hotel. We had unknowingly selected the week of the largest conference Bologna hosts. Happily by switching dates our visit was saved and we stayed in the lovely Casa Bertagni. Casa Bertagni was quiet, centrally located, and very willing to help us with anything. The breakfasts were generous and delicious. Helena worked with us on planning questions as well. We scheduled with her a terrific day-long trip to a parmesan co-op, a balsamic attic, and a wonderful lunch at a beautiful vineyard with lots of product samples. The next day we had a market, bakery, and wine store tour. We had more than enough sampling for both breakfast and lunch. Finally she was able to solve the question of where to eat dinner by helping us select restaurants and making reservations for us. The osterias and trattorias were exactly the type of restaurants we wanted and we enjoyed some amazing meals. We also took the train to Ravenna and had a food & mosaic tour with Taste of Bologna. The train was easy to use, took about an hour from Bologna and they met us at the station. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. In Florence, we were extremely lucky to have the guidance and expertise of The Florence Insider and its owner Claudia Vannucci. She was able to help us organize the multitude of places and things we wanted to do in addition to suggesting restaurants, hotels and best days & times for organizing our trip. We had the splurge of staying at Brunelleschi Hotel The Brunelleschi is beautiful and very luxurious. The breakfasts were amazing and most nights we had a nightcap at their bar. A huge shout out to the bartenders. We took a walking tour upon our arrival in Florence with Claudia. She provided a variety of osterias and trattorias that we loved and we enjoyed a wide variety of Florentine and Italian specialities. We did take a Wine Window and Progressive Dinner with Curious Appetite and finally a day Chianti Tour with De Gustibus. All of these small tours and guides provided additional personal facets to our trip. They are all highly recommended and we would use them again without reservation.

    Full Day Ravenna & Bologna Tour of Must-See Sites with Native Top-Rated Guide: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full Day Ravenna & Bologna Tour of Must-See Sites with Native Top-Rated Guide cost?

    +

    Prices start at $482 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 Full Day Ravenna & Bologna Tour of Must-See Sites with Native Top-Rated Guide 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 Full Day Ravenna & Bologna Tour of Must-See Sites with Native Top-Rated Guide worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Ravenna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Ravenna & Bologna Tour of Must-See Sites with Native Top-Rated Guide?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Full Day Ravenna & Bologna Tour of Must-See Sites with Native Top-Rated Guide 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 Full Day Ravenna & Bologna Tour of Must-See Sites with Native Top-Rated Guide?

    +

    Around 0 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 Full Day Ravenna & Bologna Tour of Must-See Sites with Native Top-Rated Guide 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 Full Day Ravenna & Bologna Tour of Must-See Sites with Native Top-Rated Guide?

    +

    Included: Private guide; Admission tickets; and Top rated & Local guide. Not included: Hotel pick up / drop off; Transportation to the sites; Train fees; and Taxi fee ( if needed). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
