Bologna Day Trip: Ravenna's Breathtaking UNESCO Mosaics

Our tour guide Elizabeth (or Elizabetta?) was extremely knowledgeable about the historic buildings and beautiful mosaics that we experienced. Definitely a worthwhile tour. The arrangements to get to Ravenna from Bologna by train for the tour were communicated less than a day before the tour but everything worked out. Highly recommend the tour.

Comprehensive insight into complex history and art of the city. The guide excels at presenting the city and its architecture. Highly recommended

Excellent tour. Guide gave insight as well as information about so much. Be aware you will be on your feet for three hours.Insight and info

Well worth the trip if you’re in the area, an easy 75 min train trip from Bologna and easy walk around Ravenna

The guide was knowledgeable and the pacing of the visits to the different places where the mosaics could be seen was just right.

This trip was well worth the money. These mosaics are one of a kind. They are jaw dropping...especially considering they are 1500 years old. It is fast paced and requires a lot of walking. The tour guide Marco was fabulous.

This was an excellent tour. I got the option which included train tickets to and from Bologna. The tour was very well organized and I was provided with clear instructions. The tour guide was exceptionally good. She provided us with a lot of interesting descriptions and history. I highly recommend this tour.

Our guide had an indepth knowlage of the 4th and 5th century mosaics that were the subject of the tour. The mosics themselves were impressive. I recommed this tour. Note that you will meet the guide in Revenna, not at the Bologna train station. You recieve the train tickets via email and travel by yourself. This is no problem if you are comfortable riding the rails and have Google maps.

Ravenna is rich in Byzantine period basilicas and their fantastic mosaics! My guide was thoroughly knowledgeable and engaging and did her best to show me Ravenna's treasures most of which were UNESCO designated. The city is very walkable and tourist friendly with taxis/buses right outside the station if you should get winded. UBER is totally useless here as the app can never find drivers willing to pick you up from ANYWHERE in the city. If you want to visit sites outside the city such as San't Apollinaire en Class (well worth the taxi or bus ride!) take a taxi from the station - they are all lined up in order of availability to the LEFT of the exit doors...

We had a lovely 3 hour tour, guided by Sergio. What a surprise this city was, with 8 Unesco sites, of which we saw 5. Sergio was very knowledge of the history of the city, dating back to the Romans. We highly recommend this tour if you enjoy Art, architecture and history.
