"Luana is such a great guide! She gauged our level of knowledge and gave us a fascinating mix of history and artistic insight. Plenty of time to soak up the stunning sights, and answers to all our questions - her expertise was really impressive. We visited more sites subsequently and our newly gained knowledge made such a difference! A charming companion - and great tips for restaurants!"

"Luana was very interesting, professional and kind. We loved the perfect balance between history and anecdotes. We were so happy with the tour during which we learned so much. Thanks to her we wanted to learn more about Ravenna’s history as well as Dante and bought books that very same day. We thank her again for the experience and the tips she gave us! "
"We had an unforgettable walking tour through the heart of Ravenna’s old town. The experience was both culturally rich and visually stunning. One of the highlights was visiting a breathtaking mausoleum filled with intricate mosaics that felt like stepping into a jewel box of history. The Basilica of San Vitale was equally impressive—its mosaics are some of the most extraordinary I’ve ever seen, full of vibrant color and exquisite detail. We also explored a historic fort with imposing medieval walls, and tucked away nearby was a small, unassuming church that held moving mosaics depicting early Christian martyrs—quiet and deeply powerful. The tour concluded in the city’s charming main square, where we enjoyed a delicious scoop of gelato under the Italian sun. Our guide, Elisabetta, was kind, insightful, and clearly passionate about Ravenna’s rich heritage. She stepped in at the last minute as Pietro was not able to guide us. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to immerse themselves in art, history, and the beauty of Italy. "
