Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of Commissario Guido Brunetti, the legendary investigator 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 the backdrop for the films and as the scenes of murders.
The tour focuses on the famous Questura, Brunetti's workplace.
Along the way, you will discover the Venetian bar culture and cuisine that plays such a big role in the everyday life of the Brunettis, and 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) or anecdotes and curiosities about the film shoots.
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 at the same time its conclusion – is the view of the well-known apartment with a roof terrace belonging to the Brunetti family (from the outside), which plays an important role in several film adaptations.
