Visiting Brunetti’s Venice at Night - Our tour guide, Valerio, provided us with an outstanding visit to several of the sites referenced in the books and provided interesting background and tidbits on the site and its relationship to Brunetti. He helped us to really “see” Venice from the perspective of Brunetti’s Venice. He was thoroughly entertaining and provided a wealth of tidbits on Venice itself. We’ve been to Venice several times and we really learned a lot of interesting facts. The sites we visited only encompassed a few of the books, but it was well worth it!

Great tour with a knowledgeable guide. - Awesome tour with Valerio. Interesting to learn that the number of murders in Venice is two in 15 years is two. Then Donna Leon must have covered all murders in a century (-;

Worthwhile Brunetti-themed tour - A highly recommended tour. Our guide Valerio showed us various locations in a very entertaining way and pointed out many different sights. We even got tips for restaurants and will try them out in the next few days.

Through the city with humor - Super nice guide, Venetian, speaks perfect German. An entertaining guided tour in a small group with perfect audio transmission through the city, in and next to the footsteps of Commissioner Brunetti. We have received many good cultural and culinary tips and learned many interesting things about Venice. The tour with Valerio is highly recommended!

Entertainment with fun and knowledge factor - The tour is highly recommended and also a great choice for non-Brunetti fans. Valerio, our guide, has managed to give both a lot of fun around Commissario Brunetti at its best and to frame it with interesting and knowledgeable things about Venice. The two hours have flown by and you get to know Venice in a very positive way behind the Palazzo facades.

A great tour I would recommend to any of my friends - A very successful and entertaining tour. We watched filming locations of various episodes in the Cannaregio and Castello neighborhoods and heard some anecdotes. A brief insight into the history of Venice’s visited squares and buildings and the life of Venetians today was also included. I enjoyed the tour a lot and was mostly a bit away from the tourist areas.
