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!

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.
