    When in Ravenna, take this walking tour.

    We had a great time on our walking tour, which turned out to be a private tour with just me and my husband. Our guide Marta was wonderful, so kind and knowledgeable and passionate about the art and history of Ravenna she shared with us. There were so many details we would not have seen without her. She was fun and easy to talk to, and did not mind when I stopped to take many, many photos. Thank you Marta!

    Excellent tour of Mosaics

    The trip to Ravenna to see the mosaics was a delightful experience. Marialaura our guide was engaging and very knowledgable on all the area we visited. She connected well with all our group. Marialaura was able to convey information in a simple and clear manner which we could all understand. Highly recommended.

    Highlights of Ravenna's Major Sites with Top Rated Guide for Kids: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Highlights of Ravenna's Major Sites with Top Rated Guide for Kids cost?

    +

    Prices start at $304 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 Highlights of Ravenna's Major Sites with Top Rated Guide for Kids take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Highlights of Ravenna's Major Sites with Top Rated Guide for Kids worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Ravenna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Highlights of Ravenna's Major Sites with Top Rated Guide for Kids?

    +

    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 Highlights of Ravenna's Major Sites with Top Rated Guide for Kids suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Highlights of Ravenna's Major Sites with Top Rated Guide for Kids?

    +

    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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Highlights of Ravenna's Major Sites with Top Rated Guide for Kids 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 Highlights of Ravenna's Major Sites with Top Rated Guide for Kids?

    +

    Included: Small group tour up to 14 people; Top rated and local guide; and Admission tickets. Not included: Pick up/ drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Highlights of Ravenna's Major Sites with Top Rated Guide for Kids?

    +

    Our guide will wait for you in piazza Luigi Carlo Farini, with a sign with your last name. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Highlights of Ravenna's Major Sites with Top Rated Guide for Kids offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Highlights of Ravenna's Major Sites with Top Rated Guide for Kids?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Highlights of Ravenna's Major Sites with Top Rated Guide for Kids if the weather is bad?
