Great Way to Spend the Morning
A great way to spend the morning! Our tour (which was private, since we were the only ones who showed up) was a great mix of art and culture, not to mention the food. It made us definitely want to return and see/eat more!
Response from the operator: Thank you, Dean! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the private Ravenna tour. It’s great that the mix of art, culture, and food made you want to come back for more! We'd love to welcome you again on your next visit. Andrea - Taste Bologna

A hidden gem- don't miss Ravenna!!
So glad we took this tour- in the first instance Andrea could not have been more helpful booking it and advising on the train tickets from Bologna, and then on the day everyone did everything to help when the trains went on strike. Definitely above and beyond with customer service. And boy was it worth the effort- Ravenna was stunning and the mosaics literally left us speechless, all described beautifully by Silvia who was a great guide. We loved the stops for food & wine and would totally recommend to anyone.
Response from the operator: We're so happy that you could make it despite the train strikes. Ravenna is really an underrated city with so much to explore and...to eat. Thanks so much for coming and we do hope to have you again soon in Italy with us. A presto! Andrea and Silvia - Taste Bologna

Fabulous tour of mosaics and local cuisine
This turned out to be a very small group, only four of us, which was excellent! Our leader Giacomo Saragoni, was informed, funny, full of great facts and very gracious. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide! He took great care of my husband who is on a mobility scooter and showed him little shortcuts going over fewer cobblestones. The mosaics were incredible and Giacomo’s guidance awesome, not to mention our snack and then full blown lunch at lovely local restaurants. Highly recommended!!
Response from the operator: Thanks Cindy for sharing your trip to Ravenna with us and for this stunning review. We do our best to address all our client's needs and to enjoy the mosaic at their best. See you soon again in Italy! Andrea and Giacomo - Taste Bologna

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ravenna Private Tour: UNESCO Mosaics & Romagna Flavors: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ravenna.
How much does Ravenna Private Tour: UNESCO Mosaics & Romagna Flavors cost?
+
Prices start at $143 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 Ravenna Private Tour: UNESCO Mosaics & Romagna Flavors take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Ravenna Private Tour: UNESCO Mosaics & Romagna Flavors worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Ravenna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ravenna Private Tour: UNESCO Mosaics & Romagna Flavors?
+
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 Ravenna Private Tour: UNESCO Mosaics & Romagna Flavors suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ravenna Private Tour: UNESCO Mosaics & Romagna Flavors?
+
Around 4 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ravenna Private Tour: UNESCO Mosaics & Romagna Flavors 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.
