Take a city tour to the locations of your favourite television series and enter the Commissario Brunetti’s world, known from Donna Leon's novels and their film adaptations. Along the way you will learn a lot about Venice!
The fictional character of the Venetian "Commissario Brunetti" has been a success figure for years: discover personally on site the the wonderful film scene locations from Donna Leon's novels. It is not at all easy to find the “campos” and “palazzos” where Brunetti is often on the way, because most of them are off the city highlights and well know touristic sites. On the contrary, the films are mainly shot in a rather off the beaten path Venice, like the Questura. It is so beautiful when you find the places you fancied on TV or reading the books, from Brunetti's first cases, such as "Acqua Alta", through “Beastly thigs” or “Suffer the little children”, to the youngest, whereby Raffi and Chiara no longer want to live in Venice.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
We will start at the Brunetti's house door. The Brunetti family came and went through this front door, which every Brunetti fan can recognize, once you found it!
2.
The headquarters of the radical animal protection organization Angelo Animale are located in this palazzo. Two masked figures flee from the side entrance and chase each other with the Commissario and his colleagues. While one of the two escapes, the other is caught and, to Brunetti's amazement, turns out to be his daughter Chiara.
3.
in this bar Signora Gismondi, the neighbour of the unpopular Signora Battestini, enjoys the last two balls of chocolate ice cream of her life.
4.
After the Commissario has realized that his daughter is a member of the radical animal protection organization Angelo Animale, the two have a discussion in this pub. Due to the murder of Professor Nava, who was formerly employed in the slaughterhouse, Chiara's so-called animal angels are now the focus of the investigation.
5.
In this bar Vice-Questore Patta used to eat a couple of glasses of grappa too much in this bar. But Vianello also appreciates the bar because of the best café in town and the delicious croissants. The inspector treats himself to a panino prosciutto or a tramezzino with ham and artichoke with a glass of white wine
6.
This is where Signora Maria's kiosk is located. She is well informed about the residents of your neighborhood and shows Brunetti the way to the American archaeologist Brett Lynch straight away.
7.
The tour ends in a place that we cannot miss. We reach the striking columned hall in a campo, through which the employees, visitors or delinquents in the films hurry to the Questura with the famous green door and a portal

Eine tolle Führung, hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht und war sehr informativ. Immer wieder wurden Episoden aus den Verfilmungen erwähnt, wo wurde was gedreht. Natürlich ist es nicht möglich, alle Orte aus den Verfilmungen zu zeigen. Wir bewegten uns jenseits der üblichen Touristenpfade, gut auch die Restauranttipps.

Very authentic, competent and entertaining. As a local, Valerio knows a lot of local history and is a good guide away from the tourist crowds. You can feel his love for his homeland and his joy in his job. I'd be happy to come back!

We had the pleasure of booking the "Venice: Walking Tour in the Footsteps of Commissario Brunetti" tour and it was an unforgettable experience! Our guide Valerio was just great - super nice and one of the best guides we've ever had. He incorporated the Brunetti theme perfectly into the tour and also told us lots of interesting facts about Venice.

Although I'm not a huge Brunetti fan myself and booked the tour mainly for my parents, who are huge fans, I didn't have a single second of boredom. In fact, I enjoyed the tour just as much as they did! Valerio took us to beautiful places and the whole tour was just brilliant. It was a joy to see how much my parents got into the tour.

If you're in Venice, I can only recommend this tour. Whether you're a Brunetti fan or not - you won't regret it!

Relaxed and very nice individual tour. Valerio is very attentive and takes everyone in the group into account.

I am convinced that no tour on the same topic is the same. You could definitely take part in the same tour several times, the common thread would be there (routes, dates...) but it would still be very different in terms of spontaneity and the most varied things.

What is also great is that he doesn't do larger groups (15, 20, 30) as contact and flexibility are lost - his exact words.

It was very nice, but it would perhaps be good if you could show photos from the film for each location... Or show a few more locations and explain in which film each location is shown! Still highly recommended, you have to try it out 👍😃

Simply TOP, full recommendation. Super informative, funny and lots of insider knowledge about Venice. Good shoes are a must. But don't worry, you're not running a marathon
