Lowest Price Guarantee
Take a wander through the last capital of the Western Roman Empire, the capital of the kingdom of the Goths and the Byzantine exarchate. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll also get a taste of the power of the great republic of Venice as well as the 19th century Italian Risorgimento, all the while accompanied by some of the most famous mosaics in the world in the presence of many UNESCO heritage sites. The tour starts in ancient Rome, with the mausoleum of Galla Placidia and then takes you after the fall to the Basilica of San Vitale. We then head through the middle ages to the 19th century, as we move to Piazza del Popolo. Afterwards, we head back to the time of the Gothic domination with the Baptistry of the Ariana before going to see an elaborate cover-up operation in the Basilica of Sant’Apollinare Nuova. Finally, we pay a visit to the mortal remains of the great poet Dante Alighieri, father of the Italian language.

This was a great walking tour with a really good and useful app! We went at our own time and lingered the places we wanted to and the app automatically kept up to our movements and paused when we hadn't reached the next place just yet. Excellent audio, good walking directions, would buy again!

The tour was hard to follow because a lot of the areas were closed. It wasn't easy to skip to the next site.

Very convenient and informative! Kind of difficult in the beginning figuring out how the app worked and what was included but once we did it was great! We would definitely recommend!

Very detailed explanations. Enjoyable to take at own pace. Nice walk through the city. A bargain if you are pressed for time.

Great facts about the city at your own pace. The only issue was my playback wasn't automatically continuous so I'd have to keep checking my phone to see if I was in the right area each time.

I did fine with this tour for the first 2 stops, although the starting point was hard to find and required a $12 entry fee. Then the tour moved ahead quickly, and I was unable to back it up to get the directions on which way to go. I gave up and went shopping.

This audio tour is a great way to experience Ravenna at your own pace and see all the main things! I highly recommend it. And you can’t beat the price!

We spent a night in Ravenna prior to a cruise--The tour was easy to follow and took us through the 5 mosaic sights of Ravenna. It was nice to have the commentary

A great alternative to a personal guided tour, and I could do it at my own pace and for great value! The guide worked perfectly.

Great way to get around this cute little town on your own if you don’t have much time. The app helps you navigate and provides a little history. Without it you may walk right past something.
