Tours, Tastings & Unforgettable Days

The experiences worth planning your trip around.

ART TOUR

Mosaic Tiles in Ravenna - Guided Tour

A certified guide walks you through five UNESCO sites — the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, the Basilica of San Vitale, the Neonian Baptistery — unpacking the politics, religion, and craft behind mosaics that have held their color for 1,500 years. Skip-the-line entry included, so the only thing slowing you down is how long you'll want to stand in front of San Vitale's gold.

PRIVATE BOAT TOUR

Riviera Romagnola Half-Day Boat Tour

Set sail from Milano Marittima aboard the Motonave Ghibli for an afternoon along the Adriatic — past Cesenatico's fishing boats, out to the offshore gas platforms rising from the sea, with fried fish, wine, and a bit of onboard dancing to send you home. It's less refined than romantic — the Riviera showing off its unguarded, good-time side.
