Absolutely wonderful with...
Absolutely wonderful with Francesco ! He is so passionate about Verona and everything past/present . The day was so incredibly hot but the time spent with him was fantastic. we learned so much and He took the time to answer questions and the tour was more than expected. Even our 10 year old said how good it was and has not enjoyed previous tours . Do this tour with Francesco ! My only regret is not having any euros to tip him at that time , just my card. Grazie !

Terrible! Maria canceled...
Terrible! Maria canceled on me last minute when I went to through the time and expense of getting to Verona!! She blamed it on the heat but there were many tours going on all day! A poor excuse!! Going to Verona to see Casa Di Giuliettes house was a dream for me and it was ruined by an inconsiderate selfish tour guide... Maria P!!
Response from the operator: No, Danielle, you're not honest on this. A weather alert for excessive heat had been issued for the following day, warning all people to stay inside, especially in the hottest hours. When we heard it we tried in any way to contact you: we called your number, left messages on your box, wrote a message on the Viator chat, left a message on WhatsApp, and kept trying to call you, but you were not reachable. We hoped for the weather alert to be reduced (maybe from red to orange) on the following morning (the morning of the tour), but it wasn't. We tried to contact you again, but couldn't. 'Till you wrote us saying you were in Verona already, so we explained the problem to you and offered you an evening tour, which you refused. Sorry Danielle, but we have a legal and moral responsibility towards our clients and cannot run a tour at 13.30 in the afternoon on a red weather alert for excessive heat, what if you got a heat-stroke? We would be held responsible and you have no idea the troubles we would go through. I know there have been people which decided to ignore the alert and go on with the tours all the same, it's at their risk, honestly our policy is "safety first". You've been totally refunded and I promised you to put you in a tour at any other time for free (we know you're staying here for a week). There's nothing much more we can do, honestly. You're still very welcome to join any of our tours for free if you want to, just let us know. Have a good holiday, Danielle, and please take care of yourself: heat can be very dangerous and you seem not to realize it thoroughly. Maria Pia P.S. Juliet's House is partially closed due to the heat, like other museums all over Italy. 22.08.2026 Just to let you know, both the guides and the agencies which have decided to go on with the tours regardless of the red weather alert have been found guilty by the Court and fined accordingly.

Maria was an amazing...
Maria was an amazing guide and storyteller! My entire family enjoyed the tour and we made some wonderful memories while learning about Verona. This was one of my favorite tours while on our trip in Italy. 🧡
Response from the operator: Thank you! You're a beautiful family, I wish you all the best 💕 Maria Pia

Must do in Verona!
Absolutely loved it! Maria is a great story teller and full of historical insights. Enjoyed walking and listening to her. It was extra bonus because I love architecture and that she shared different era and how the architecture reflected the time period! She was very kind to take pictures of us and one of the standby asked her question about Romeo’s house and she was kind enough to offer her the info. See?! She should have signed up! It is so much more enjoyable when you hear the historical background instead of trying to figure out on your own. Totally worth it!
Response from the operator: Thank you, I'm so proud of my city that it's impossible for me not to give info and insights to anyone asking 🤣🤣🤣 It was a great pleasure to be with you, I wish you all the best! Maria Pia

Wonderful Romeo & Juliet Tour in Verona!
This was a fantastic walking tour to learn the history of Romeo and Juliet while also discovering the history of Verona. Maria Pia was the best tour guide and made our experience that much more special. Highly recommend this tour!!!!!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you Kelsey, yes, the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet is strictly linked to the life of the period and once you discover it, everything appears logical and clear, step by step of the story, till the terrible ending ...

Passionate Verona: Living Romeo and Juliet's Story: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Verona.
How much does Passionate Verona: Living Romeo and Juliet's Story cost?
+
Prices start at $63 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Verona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Passionate Verona: Living Romeo and Juliet's Story take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Verona is not rushed.
Is Passionate Verona: Living Romeo and Juliet's Story worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 93 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Verona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Passionate Verona: Living Romeo and Juliet's Story?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Passionate Verona: Living Romeo and Juliet's Story suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Passionate Verona: Living Romeo and Juliet's Story?
+
Around 33 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Verona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Verona and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Passionate Verona: Living Romeo and Juliet's Story start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Verona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Verona?
+
On Outty we rank every Verona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Verona Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class With Wine by Cooking Italy, Highlights and hidden gems Verona Bike Tour, Verona e-bike tour: city center and panoramic views. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Verona?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Verona?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Where is the meeting point for Passionate Verona: Living Romeo and Juliet's Story?
