Love, Lies and Legends Self Guided Tour of Verona

Overview

A monk scribbled a riddle that became one of the earliest traces of the Italian language. A tyrant built a fortress facing his own citizens, not his enemies. This self-guided app based walking tour of Verona takes you through such stories across 2,000 years of real history. The tour has been fully rewritten and expanded based on real traveler feedback in 2026. You will walk past a Roman amphitheatre older than the Colosseum, stand beneath a whale rib that has hung from an archway for centuries, and visit the house marketed as Romeo's that actually belonged to one of Italy's first female scholars. The tour connects the Scaligeri dynasty, Dante, Napoleon, and the postwar rebuilding of the city. Start anytime, pause whenever you like. No large group, no schedule, no rushing between stops. Over 20,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours and the tour comes with a full refund guarantee. If you want to go beyond Romeo & Juliet and discover what happened in this city, book this tour.
