Guidekin's take

For Donna Leon readers: a licensed guide walks the quiet districts behind Commissario Brunetti's home, the Questura and his cases, with a small group variant built around the TV filming locations.

The standard route crosses bridges, so wheelchair users should ask for the private variant. 4.93 from 178 reviews for 2h.

In our comparison: #3 of 22 in Walking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
