**What is a Theatrical Visit?**

Forget the long monotonous explanations and the rivers of dates to learn by heart. A dramatized guided tour is a **journey through time** where the city ceases to be a silent museum and returns to talking, laughing and telling its story.

Here's what makes it special:

- **The Story Comes to Life:** You will not only be accompanied by a guide, but by the protagonists of the time. A fallen nobleman, a brazen commoner or a troubled artist will appear along the way to tell you the facts from 'their' point of view.

- **Emotion and Entertainment:** Through monologues, dialogues and small performances, historical facts become living anecdotes. You'll learn without realizing it, between a laugh and a plot twist.

- **Protagonist, not spectator:** You're not there just to watch. You will find yourself immersed in the atmosphere of time, breathing in the air of a bygone era as if you were an integral part of the scene.
