Overview

During this Private Tour Silvia will make you discover the extraordinary history of the most important UNESCO sites in the city of Ravenna, from the fall of the Western Roman Empire to the Byzantine rule. Ravenna in the space of only 200 years was nominated capital three times and today its perfectly preserved mosaics leave us breathless, taking us back to the ancient glories of a bygone era. During this visit, immersed in the evocative half-light, you will have the opportunity to observe the majesty of the mosaics in a completely unique and special atmosphere outside of satiety and time.

Perfect tour of Ravenna with Silvia

Published on Oct, 2024

We had a wonderful experience discovering the remarkable Ravenna with Silvia Giogoli. She met us exactly on time and for the next 3 hours we were treated like special guests with skip-the-line privileges to all the sites we visited. The mosaics are awe-inspiring, and so is her knowledge. Her pace was perfect - and she was sensitive to our vibe and our interests. She designed the best first experience in Ravenna by starting at Sant'Apollinare Nuovo and finishing with Gallla Placidia right before the grand finale of the Basilica San Vitale. We even stopped by a mosaic art studio and chatted with the students who were creating their own masterpieces. It was truly an enriching day and Silvia topped it off by letting us in on the secret of where to eat and to be sure to try the ficchi caramelatti (caramelized figs) with stracchino cheese! wow! Don’t hesitate to book her tour. She is a delight and makes you feel like you’re hanging out with an old friend.

Mosaics are phenomenal

Published on Oct, 2024

Words cannot describe the mosaics. Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained the stories of the mosaics.

Ravenna Country and City in a Day

Published on Aug, 2024

Silvia was so wonderful. She planned an entire day for us, including a bike ride through the forest, a mosaics tour, and a delicious lunch in Ravenna. She was so sweet and easy to work with. Response times were exceptional and she anticipated our every need. The bikes were brand new and rode so easily. The restaurant was authentic and delicious. Silvia explained all the history of mosaics and Ravenna. Highly recommend!

A must do in Ravenna

Published on Jun, 2024

Silvia was wonderful from the moment I booked the tour. She clearly instructed me on how to buy the ticket we needed for our admission into the sites. Once we met for the tour, she gave such a wonderful history lesson about the area and the sites we saw. She even made a quick stop in the central food market for us to see. We learned so much more from Sivia than we ever could have on our own. Thank you Silvia!

The best way to see and learn about the spectacular Ravenna mosaics.

Published on May, 2024

The best $ we spent. We are experienced travelers who do a ton of reading and research in advance. My husband is particularly interested in art and art history and I’ve long wanted to see the mosaics. A friend who is a museum docent in NYC strongly urged us to consider a guide for Ravenna’s mosaics. After reading reviews, we chose Silvia. She was extremely responsive about availability, booking tickets (including specific timed entries), met us at the train station. And SO knowledgeable (about the mosaics, city, history) and fun to be with.
