The Ravenna Mosaics Walking Tour is the perfect tour to enjoy with an expert local guide the many beauties this ancient city has to offer in even just a half day: you’ll join a guided walk through the old city center with a pause and a practical demonstration of mosaic-making technique, enjoying and understanding the enormous history of Ravenna, its rare beauty and deep spirituality.
