Padua

Have you ever wished you could step into the shoes of a detective, but without the actual risk of tripping over a body? Well, now you can! Experience the thrill of the chase, while also making sure the only thing you might trip over is a cobbled stone in one of Padua’s picturesque streets.

This isn’t just a boring walking tour; it’s a journey into the heart of a mystery where the murder is as fictional as your chances of being in real danger. Wander through the historic lanes of Padua, from the bustling Piazza delle Erbe to the tranquil corners of the Isola Memmia, all while collecting clues like a squirrel prepping for winter. Each puzzling piece will bring you closer to solving a murder case that’s less “gritty crime drama” and more “excuse to look at old buildings and feel a bit like Sherlock Holmes.”

You’ll decode cryptic messages, solve puzzles that are sneakier than a Venetian merchant, and uncover secrets that are usually reserved for episodes of detective shows where everyone wears improbably fashionable hats. So, pull on your walking shoes and prepare your best detective’s scowl.  Who knew pretending to solve a crime could be this educational?
