The guide was not just highly knowledgeable, but also obviously passionate about the sites and the story, a trait that always boosts the experience. We were transported back in time, but in a manner befitting grown-ups, i.e. with research-based facts and interpretations. I found the guide very approachable as he not only answered the numerous questions from the group, but was also willing to chat away about art and history in between the sites adding greatly to my understanding of Ravenna and beyond. All in all, a highly enjoyable and informative.All in all, a highly enjoyable and informative.

Luana Puccini conducted a private half-day tour of Ravenna for my wife and me. She put together a fantastic itinerary that lead us to the highlights of the town. She advised us on which train to take from Bologna to meet her in Ravenna and she met us at the train station and walked with us to the medieval center. Her knowledge and expertise was in great depth. She arranged a lunch for us at a local hotspot where we were able to have local cuisine specialties. We also enjoyed exchanging stories about our countries and culture with each other. She was very warm and friendly, and I encourage anyone reading this to choose her as their guide.Private tour of Ravenna

Luana was very informative about the historical buildings we visited. She was also passionate about Bologna and shared her enthusiasm with us. Her English is also excellent. In the future, we would recommend less history and more stories of the people who lived in Bologna and events that made the city great.What's behind the scenes

The title says it all. Luana was knowledgeable, intelligent, thoughtful and sensitive to our needs. But for the extreme heat we could have spent much longer exploring Ravenna's magnificent cultural heritage. Luana freely gave of her expertise and welcomed questions, of which we had many. As a bonus we had the opportunity to enjoy some typical Ravenna food. 10 out of 10.A richly rewarding day

She has a deep knowledge of the art, architecture and history of the region and really helped us to understand and appreciate the many remarkable historical sites we visited.

We thought this was a great tour. We have done quite a few guided tours and this was a very strong one. The UNESCO-designated sites in Ravenna are really interesting and Luana was a terrific guide. She is very knowledgeable about the history and the art, and she was great company. In addition to showing us around the sites and giving us helpful context and background, she arranged for us to get lunch at a terrific restaurant. Overall, it was a delightful day.Fantastic Tour

Luana was such a lovely guide. Luana gave a great historical account of the evocative buildings, the historical Anatomical theatre & university amazing! Catching a train to Ravenna, despite the rain, Luana continued to provide excellent commentary on the monuments, in particular, Basilica of San Vitale, walking along we passed Dante Alighieri's tomb. We ended the tour with a treat to a local mosaic artist, the heart of the history and identity of the community of Ravenna. Highly recommend this tour!Highly recommend this tour!

Luana is the best tour guide I've had in 40 years of traveling. She has boundless energy, profound knowledge of the subject matter, including the religious iconology, is generous with her time and obviously cares about her clients. I will return to the region and have her guide me to the rest of the towns in the area.Luana is the best tour guide I've had in 40 years of traveling.
