Venice: In the Footsteps of Commissario Brunetti｜Italy

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of Commissario Guido Brunetti, the legendary detective from Donna Leon's novels and the successful TV series.

On this guided tour lasting around two hours, you will discover Venice from a very special perspective – away from the usual tourist routes and amidst the atmospheric locations that have become famous through the crime stories.

Together, we will follow Brunetti's paths through quiet calli, over picturesque bridges and along hidden canals that have repeatedly served as settings for the films and murder scenes.

The tour focuses on the famous Questura, Brunetti's workplace.

Along the way, you will discover Venetian bar culture and cuisine, which play such a major role in the Brunettis' everyday life, as well as one of the Commissario's favorite bars, which is mentioned in the books.

Learn more about the connection between literature and reality (how fiction and real city life intertwine) as well as anecdotes and fun facts about the filming.

Stroll down the street where Donna Leon's apartment was located and where she brought her famous Commissario to life.

A special highlight of the tour – and also its finale – is the view of the famous Brunetti family apartment with its roof terrace (from the outside), which plays an important role in several film adaptations.
