Frequently Asked Questions

Round-trip train tickets are included, and your private guide meets you on arrival at Verona's main station.
The house itself is a genuine 13th-century building, but the balcony was added during a 1930s restoration — centuries after Shakespeare wrote a story that was always fiction. It's a beloved, openly theatrical touch rather than a literal historical site.

About This Tour

A private day trip to Verona with train tickets included, meeting your private guide at Verona's main station to see Juliet's Balcony, Piazza delle Erbe, and the Basilica of San Zeno, with fascinating commentary throughout.

Verona sits a little over an hour from Venice by train, and Shakespeare set Romeo and Juliet here even though there's no evidence he ever visited the city himself — the play was his own invention, built loosely on older Italian tales of feuding families. That hasn't stopped Verona from fully embracing the association, and a private guide meeting you at the station means you get the real history woven in alongside the legend rather than either one on its own.

Juliet's Balcony is the clearest example of that blend. The house at Casa di Giulietta is genuinely old — a 13th-century building that once belonged to the Dal Cappello family, whose name happens to echo Shakespeare's Capulets closely enough that the city ran with it. The balcony itself, though, is a 20th-century addition: Verona's museum director added it during a 1930s restoration, decades after the play was written and centuries after the house itself. It's an honest, openly theatrical touch rather than anything tied to a real historical Juliet, since the character was always fictional — and it remains one of the most photographed corners in the city regardless.

The Verona Arena is the opposite kind of landmark: no embellishment needed. Built around 30 AD, it's one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters anywhere, originally holding close to 30,000 spectators. It's been staging open-air opera every summer since 1913, and the acoustics that made it work for gladiatorial games two thousand years ago still carry a soprano's voice to the back row today.
