Full description
Discover Ravenna, one of Italy's most spectacular cities, with this fantastic walking tour. After meeting your guide, start from the church of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, dating from the 6th century. Then find out all about the infamous poet Dante in the area named the "zone of silence", dedicated to the cult and memory of Dante Alighieri. Beside the poet's tomb you will find the Dante museum and the Franciscan cloisters with the statues of San Francesco and Santa Chiara. Continuing your tour, head towards the Neonian baptistery with its perfectly preserved architectural structure and interior decoration, consisting of stuccos and the magnificent mosaic of the baptism of Christ. Make your way to the Palazzo Rasponi to reach the Piazza del Popolo, the main square of the city. The tour concludes with the wonderful Basilica of San Vitale dating from the 6th century, and testimony to the Roman-Byzantine empire. With an octagonal central plan, the church still preserves the splendid scenes of the Old Testament and the famous panels of the imperial couple Justinian and Theodora of the Eastern Roman Empire. Next to the basilica, visit the Mausoleum of the Roman Empress Galla Placidiay, rich in unique mosaic decorations.

Super Tour, wunderbar organisiert, Kommunikation perfekt. Unser Guide Marina war unwahrscheinlich sympathisch, verfügte über ein sehr breites Wissen und es gelang ihr, sowohl auf unsere Bedürfnisse einzugehen, alsauch stets unser Interesse aufrecht zu erhalten. Wunderbares Preis-Leistungsverhältnis

Sabrina is an excellent guide. She has in-depth knowledge and an obvious passion for Ravenna, its art and architecture, and the history that makes them relevant to us today. I have used many guides for private tours in Italy over the years and Sabrina is without question one of the best. She is also very pleasant and accommodating. I cannot recommend her more highly.

Ravenna really impressed me. Simple brick buildings do not reveal the inner splendor. Maria, our German-speaking tour guide, also gave us the historical background so that we could delve even deeper into history. Thank you very much! We hope to find time to come back to Ravenna.
