For helpless lovers; school students & teachers working on Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet"; scholars wanting to hear the true story and how people really lived in the 14th century; passionates of movies like "Letters to Juliet" , "Romeo and Juliet" or "Romeo + Juliet"; and all curious people... this tour helps you discover what's behind the story, and helps you feel the way people felt in 14th century Verona.
Europe/Rome (UTC +2hs)
Virtually meet your guide in Piazza Erbe, the market square, to live Verona as it was in the time of Romeo and Juliet. You'll soon enter a different world: a world hard to imagine now, amongst the plots and conspiracies of noble families and the hardships of 14th-century life in Italy. In this challenging and at times brutal world, you'll live the deep love of the two "innamorati", you'll feel their passion and despair, their hopes and deep affection, and their frantic struggle against their cursed, star-crossed destiny.

We did a virtual with Maria and she was such a joy! She is very knowledgeable and a great story teller! I particularly appreciate her explanations about the architecture of the buildings and her humour. Will keep in touch for sure! ????????
