Ravenna is breath taking. So much history from the 5th and 6th century’s. Luana brought it to life. We would not have appreciated all there was to see without her knowledge. Being photoshopped out of history started back then! She also managed to work the tour so we avoided school parties which was greatly appreciated. Ravenna has to be on everyone’s list to see. Highly recommended.
