School trips to Ravenna

“When I want to understand Italian history I catch a train and go to Ravenna. There, between the tomb of Theodoric and that of Dante, in the reassuring neighbourhood of the best manuscript of Aristophanes and in the less reassuring one of the best portrait of the Empress Theodora, I can begin to feel what Italian history has really been”.

Arnaldo Momigliano

Luana’s presentation was thoughtful, thorough and packed with a love and true appreciation of ancient history. We are huge fans of historical tours but Luana’s tour far exceeded our expectations! There are simply not enough glowing words… Luana è una su un milione!

Luana’s tour was honestly one of the best I have ever done. Ravenna itself was a delight; but really made it come alive was her storytelling and in-depth subject knowledge. Heartily recommended!

Luana was a wonderful guide. I had been before but learned so much more on this trip. Luana was so informative, knew so much of the history and background, but was also charming, helpful, spoke excellent English and never made us feel rushed. I would highly recommend a tour with her.
