We could never find the motorboat and missed the excursion. We were so disappointed and called aviator immediately. They did not have a later excursion and had to leave the next morning. We got an email that said they would not refund our money so not happy with the company and will not book with them again!
Could not locate anyone at meeting place was at exact location and no o e showed up. Would love a credit to my account
Burano is lovely and the Murano glass factory was fascinating! I highly recommend this tour. The commentator guide spoke 4 languages making sure that everyone understood her.
Tour was professionally narrated. Both Morano & Burano are great places to visit & tour. Shopping in both locations were affordable.
Fantastic value for money! Great rip and well informed of the itinerary. My only complaint was there was no one to greet us on the promenade at the pick up point. It was extremely busy with lots of tours etc getting on board and we were told jetty 1/2/3 however no one with a sign which would have been helpful.
Very busy check in but helpful guide and quick enough to get another boat if very busy. Was colder than we expected outside for the journey but the multi-lingual announcements were humorous and informative. The glass blowing was a must to see and is included in the price. The experience getting back on the boat at the end wasn’t great but all in all worked out okay for the hour’s journey back
Loved the islands and glass blowing demonstration. Could just do a water taxi to the islands instead. No bathroom on the ferry and it was 45 minutes late getting us back so we had to buy new train tickets for a later time.
The boat was crowded. The guide did a great job of translating the narrative into three languages. However it was hard to hear her over the noisy boat and passengers. The weather was very cold and windy which played into the enjoyment factor negatively.
The tour was basically taking tourists to smaller islands to get them to purchase more stuff. The tour guide on the boat was very friendly but it was impossible to hear her over the loud motor of boat. I also don't recommend taking this tour during the summer/hot months as there is extremely limited shaded seating.
Enjoyed the boat ride as much as the islands. So relaxing & peaceful. Our guide was excellent! He explained everything perfectly. Was very impressed at how many languages he spoke. Glass blowing demonstration was awesome & the lace works just beautiful. Recommend this tour to everyone.
The freetime at Burano was 1h 10min and not 1h 30min. We had booked a german option but the Guide had not spoke german.
<p>Not worth the money . Had to listen to several languages. So missed some of the places talked about</p>
<p>Really enjoyed this trip. Glass demonstration was very good. Burano was lovely very relaxing island.enjoyed having a beer on the waters edge waiting for return boat trip. The boat and the guide were good with plenty of information.</p>
<p>The tour was too crowded, tourists rushing to get in the boat. Merely visited Murano for the glass factory - which was impressive but could have given more time to tour around Murano. Burano was pretty, but same issue, not enough time.</p>
<p>This was our second visit to both islands.We met at the meeting point and were off at the gallop,meaning it was difficult to keep up with a pushchair especially trying to cross ramps on busy bridges.It would have been impossible to manage if anyone couldn't walk very briskly.The trip was fine but there was confusion leaving Murano as there were a large number of people there for another large boat.We eventually realized that we had to go over the large ship to get to our small one.Burano is lovely.Probably would have preferred the whole time there.</p>
Easy and comfortable. The demonstration with short but very interesting glass and the two islands are very pretty
Overall well, although it seems to me that after ending up in Burano, he went a lot extra round to go for another group of people on another island and I think that extended the return a lot. The guide was very friendly and gave a good explanation although I think it was missing that we were also told the points of interest in the islands.
The cruise is promoted with a guide in Spanish, but unfortunately not all the instructions are given in this language, much less the information on each island, so important data on their history is not obtained.
No hay mucho que ver, Murano la fabrica de cristal es lo mas interesante, breve y bonito y Burano solo las casa de colores y la casa del Bepi otro reclamo que no tiene nada de especial. Ya descartamos ir Torcello por que dicen que solo hay una iglesia y el viaje es mas largo. Quizás si lo haces por tu cuenta con mas tiempo puedes aprovechar mejor el tiempo por que creo que en las fabricas de cristal hacen una desmostración cada hora en la que puedes entrar a verlo.
Hello. Time was quite sufficient in my opinion. Short show in the glass factory, then vile time on one island, and on the other. It wouldn't have taken longer. 1 point deducted - the yellow table was hard to find wgn. Security checks, but the cell phone number worked.
Good choice. Eva is very attentive. Transfer should be faster to spend more time on the islands
Good organization. Staff prepared, friendly and always available. During our tour there was also a small incident that the staff of the motorship brilliantly resolved. I recommend it
