A trip through time in Ravenna
This tour is a must for persons visiting the Venice/Romanga area. Cristiana shared her wealth of knowledge about the amazing historical sites in Ravenna, allowing time for questions, taking pictures and just gazing at the wondrous views. There is so much to take in and this tour did so much to increase our understanding of the rich history of Ravenna.
