Excellent! Luana was engaging and paced the tour just right. The mosaics are stunning. We highly recommend the tour!

We had a great tour with Luana through the wonderful mosaics in Ravenna. Luana was an exceptional guide. She is full of knowledge and made the experience interesting for the whole family, including teenagers. She has a quiet, unhurried style of guiding which is relaxing and pleasant. Her English is perfect and she explained everything so well, as well as answering any questions. We did the 2pm tour which allowed us to have lunch first, and the monuments weren’t crowded. Luana had excellent communication before the tour, and ensured we got back to our train in time afterwards. Definitely recommend this tour.

Luana Puccinini gave a very interesting and detailed tour of the most important mosaics of Ravenna. She included in-depth descriptions of the buildings, the history, the charming town and the mosaics. She even stopped in a mosaic workshop to see an artist in action. She answered countless questions thoroughly and with additional, helpful details. She provided a wonderful day in a beautiful town! I highly recommend going to Ravenna and taking this tour.

My husband and I took a tour on a Wednesday afternoon. It wasn’t crowded at all. Our guide, Luana, was very sweet and knowledgeable about the mosaics and the history. Per our special request she also brought us to see a mosaics workshop. We were very happy with our tour and would recommend her as a guide to anyone visiting Ravenna wishing to see the mosaics.

Luana was a very knowledgeable and well educated tour guide. She really knows her material and could answer any question we had. We had just gotten off a 21 day cruise where we took many tours. Luana was by far the best guide we encountered. She tailored the tour to "us’ our interests and ability. If you are lucky enough to have her, you will be very pleased.

Marimonte_R

Had such a wonderful time being shown around the highlights of Ravenna, by the very insightful and knowledgeable Luana. She took her time explaining the sights as we explored each venue and pointed out all the important historical information. We were even given an excellent recommendation of where to eat like a local from her.
