What you can expect

  • Soak up the magic of Ravenna: an exclusive tour of the most beautiful mosaics.

    This special one-hour tour, designed to offer you a unique and evocative experience, will take you on a discovery of Ravenna's most famous and iconic mosaics, before the crowds arrive (9:00 AM option) or when the crowds have already left (5:30 PM option).

    In the company of a licensed tour guide with over 10 years of experience, you will immerse yourself in the thousand-year history of Ravenna, the ancient capital of three empires.

    The tour includes a visit to the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, a magical and spiritual place where the Roman Empress Galla Placidia found her final resting place. Marvel at the symbolism of the mosaics, such as the starry sky and the doves drinking from the fountain. Next, we will visit the Basilica of San Vitale, a masterpiece of Byzantine art and architecture, where you can admire the world-famous imperial processions of Justinian and Theodora, the Christ Pantocrator, and other mosaics of extraordinary beauty, amidst oriental marbles and evocative plays of light.

    At the end of the visit, the guide will provide you with a map of the historic old town of Ravenna and will show you how to reach 3 other splendid UNESCO monuments included in your ticket.

    An unforgettable experience that is exclusive because we will visit the monuments before the organized groups arrive or after they have already left. An intimate tour, designed for a small group for better interaction with the guide, and exciting because you will discover stories, anecdotes, and interesting facts that you won't find in books.
