About this experience

This self-guided app-based walking tour of Verona allows you to explore the city's rich history over 2,000 years. You will visit significant sites such as a Roman amphitheatre that predates the Colosseo, a whale rib that has been displayed for centuries, and the house claimed to be Romeo's, which belonged to one of Italy's first female scholars. The tour includes connections to notable figures and events, including the Scaligeri dynasty, Dante, and Napoleon. This experience is suitable for individuals or small groups who prefer flexible scheduling and a leisurely pace. You can start at your convenience and pause as needed, making it ideal for those who want to explore without the pressure of a guided group. The tour has been updated based on traveler feedback in 2026 and is backed by a full refund guarantee. It is important to note that this is not a large group tour, minimizing the rush often associated with guided experiences.
