Service Description

Ravenna, Italy is a city in the northern Italian province of Emilia Romagna, a diverse region of seaside towns and historic cities. It is located on the Adriatic Sea, about halfway between Florence (to the southwest) and Venice (to its northeast). It is a city filled with mosaics, mausoleums, basilicas, history and culture. Ravenna has a peaceful, not overly touristy atmosphere, where life moves slowly and most of the people walk and ride bikes, with very few cars. Our one hour live, personal, virtual walking tour will take you through the streets of the walking area of the historical center of Ravenna. 2021 marked the celebration of the 700th Anniversary of the death of Dante Alighieri, the poet who is considered the father of the Italian language, we will start the tour in the area where his tomb is located. You will see and learn how the city has changed over the last 2,000 years and how the presence of water has influenced its development. We will visit the main square, Piazza del Popolo, built under the Venetian Republic, a fancy place where people like to meet, sit in cafés, enjoy croissants and cappuccino and read the newspaper. You will be able to appreciate the unique architecture of 2 of the most important UNESCO buildings, the San Vitale’s Basilica and the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, evidence of the glorious past of Ravenna during the V and VI century A.D. as the last capital of the Roman Empire and Byzantine Kingdom. Perhaps you will get to see the goldfish of Basilica di San Francesco. Our guide is a native of Ravenna and would love to share a taste of the history and beauty of her hometown as well as the secrets that are still hidden to most. $79 for each additional screen (does not apply to corporate customers.) * This tour is not designed for our corporate customers.
