The mosaics were magnificent! Had an amazing lunch (sea food, of course!). Luciana, our guide, was the best! Extremely knowledgeable and fun! Ravenna is quaint and pretty. Absolutely loved this experience.

We were very impressed with the tour and mosaics. The guide, whose name I don't recall, was very patient with us stopping to look at stores etc. She was very knowledgeable and described the symbolism in each site. The walk was very easy as well. Our cruise was diverted from Venice. I thought might be disappointing, but the mosaics were very impressive and it is amazing how vibrant they remain for their age.
