Highlights
  • Basilica Di Sant’Apollinare In Classe - After a brief journey from your location, you will arrive at the Basilica of Sant’Apollinare in Classe. Your guide will provide an insightful explanation of this UNESCO site, the most magnificent Basilica in Ravenna, constructed in the early 6th century. With a skip-the-line ticket, you will marvel at the stunning mosaics, renowned worldwide. This is the finest example of Byzantine mosaics in Italy.
  • Santarcangelo di Romagna - From the Basilica of Sant’Apollinare in Classe, a short ride with your private driver and guide will take you to one of the most charming towns in Romagna, the beautiful medieval city of Santarcangelo. After a stop for a delightful coffee or cappuccino and a light snack (all included), you will visit a fascinating and hidden location. Santarcangelo conceals a mysterious underground history. The entire hill it is built on is interwoven with a complex network of tunnels, caves, and wells, forming an “underground” city beneath the main town, consisting of at least 160 grottoes (caves). You can enjoy a guided tour inside the monumental public cave, navigating through a labyrinth to uncover ancient legends and thrilling stories. Let your imagination transport you back to ancient religious rites and solemn processions in this evocative atmosphere.
  • Cesenatico - After exploring the hidden Santarcangelo, your private driver and guide will take you to one of Italy’s most famous and captivating beach towns: Cesenatico. A popular summer destination, Cesenatico boasts an incredible historical harbor. In a charming local restaurant, reserved exclusively for you, you can savor a typical local lunch featuring a selection of the finest local cured meats and cold cuts, along with unlimited piadina or crescioni (traditional Romagna wraps). Water, soft drinks, and wine or beer are included in this delectable meal. After lunch, enjoy a leisurely stroll along the harbor, where Leonardo da Vinci left his mark by sketching the famous “Code L” in his travel notebook, a detailed survey of the small seaside village accompanied by an aerial view of the fortress. This is the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious gelato while admiring the beautiful port.
  • Cervia - Departing from Cesenatico, you will make a stop at another special location: The Saline di Cervia. This historic site has been a center for salt extraction for over 2000 years. You can observe the various salt fields and learn about the salt extraction and processing methods. If you are fortunate, you may also spot several pink flamingos that have chosen this unique place to nest.
