Step into the world of Commissario Brunetti and discover the real Venice behind Donna Leon's novels and the beloved German TV adaptations. Follow Brunetti through quieter neighborhoods, see locations associated with his home, the Questura and memorable cases, and discover how the fictional Venice of the books and films compares with the real city. The German small-group tour focuses primarily on filming locations from the German TV adaptations; private tours can be customized around the novels, the TV series, or a combination of both.
