“I really like the way the tour was organised. The audio device was the best idea as it would have been impossible to hear a single word once the crowd increased. I also like that the tour started before the crowds so atleast half of it was a nice walk. The guide was a woman with short hair, sorry that I forgot her name. She made the tour interesting and gave some very good past and present anecdotes. As a complete new tourist in Venice this tour gives a nice insights into the wonderful stories of Venice.”

“We met Valério for this tour ‘In the Footsteps of Commissario Brunetti’, conveniently at our hotel. As English nationals, we have not seen the German Series of Donna Leos books, we formed our own images of the places and characters ourselves. Valério had a hard task as 2 of our group of 3 had not read any of this series of books! I having read only 8 of the 35. Yet, Valério made the 2 hour tour fun even for my friends who were unfamiliar with sites of murders, bodies, the police station, hospital and Brunetti’s favourite bars, newspapers stand and restaurants.
