Ravenna Mosaics - Tour Guide, Resources

Hello! My wife and I will be in Ravenna at the end of October. I am looking for recommendations on a guide for at least the 6 mosaic sites in the central area, for all 8 sites would be better. Looking for someone that really knows the history of the era and of the art and that can help bring them to life for us. I would prefer a private guide but small group (<10) would be ok as well.

Also, would love any recommendations on books, documentaries, websites, etc. where I can do some learning on my own before I get there.

We did two private Bologna walking tours with Nathalie Zaveroni in March of this year and really enjoyed the experience. She also does tours in Ravenna and other cities in the area. Here is her webpage describing suggested tours in Ravenna, but she can also custom a tour to your wishes. She might also have suggestions for transportation options for the two sites of interest that are outside the city. We hope to get to Ravenna on our next trip!!
