Ravenna Greeters
Free Personal Walking Tour with a Local
Discover Ravenna through a free personal walk with a local
Ancient capital of the Western Roman Empire of the fifth and sixth centuries, Ravenna has inherited the splendor of a capital from its past and has been able to preserve it in optimal conditions. Its Byzantine mosaics are famous and eight of its monuments have been declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco (and there aren’t many cities that can boast eight Unesco sites!). But there are not only those: there are many other little gems – some not even mentioned in the guides – that deserve to be known, and our greeters will be happy to show them to you while walking with you through the center. And if you are hungry or thirsty walking around … well, our cuisine and our wines need no comment.
Ravenna Greeters are volunteers who give guests an authentic insight into life of their city. They are not city guides. For guided tour of monuments and museums, please visit tour guides website. The meetings focus on the dialog between guests and greeters. All guests can expect the kind of walk you would take with friends, a conversation at eye level about cities where guests and greeters live.
