Marta was an amazing art-historian guide! So knowledgeable and so sweet! The mosaics were jaw-dropping!!
Gerard_R, Nov 2023
My guided tour with Marta was excellent and worth every Euro. She is a professional art historian with deep knowledge of the art of Ravenna, local history, and much more. I was already fairly knowledgeable about the history and I learned a lot from her. These three hours were a real highlight of my three nights in Ravenna.

Ravenna is a gem that not many foreigners know about. Marta was a great guide. Highly recommendable.

Great guide and good communication beforehand. Everything was arranged smoothly and our guide was personable and knowledgeable.

Le contraste dès la première visite entre la simplicité extérieure des bâtiments et la magnificence du travail des artistes à l’intérieur, fut réellement un choc d’entrer avec désintérêt dans un lieu « dit « remarquable et devenir tout à coup un disciple émerveillé à l’écoute d’une personne bienveillante se mettant à la portée de novices. Lorsque les détails d’intendance ont été invisibles, quoi demander de plus ?
