Our tour was great! We went to the Mocenigo Glass Factory in Murano and were treated like VIP’s! Burano was beautiful and could easily go back to enjoy a relaxing afternoon. Our tour guide Valentina was amazing! She answered all our questions and made the day so relaxing and fun (with lots of laughs!) spent the perfect amount of time at each place & would definitely recommend.
This was the perfect day trip! Our guide Marina was very knowledgeable and professional. Loved the glass blowing demonstration and the islands were beautiful.
Enjoyed the glass blowing demonstration and learning about moreno glass. Purchased a few pieces of jewelry. Lay shop also was very interesting to learn about.
Our guide Valentina was amazing very friendly and knowledgeable. She made the tour interesting and fun. She was also very willing to help me practice my Italian. The tour was amazing beautiful little villages and lots of little stores to explore. I recommend putting this tour on the list of things to do while in Venice.
This was a super fun tour! Got an interactive taste of Murano and Burano and our guide, Beatrice, was adorable, friendly, and informative. The boat was roomy and comfortable. We really enjoyed our selves!!
Tour guide- very knowledgeable and nice
Amazing experience - we were well looked after, got to see so many sites and experience some different activities on each island! Felt relaxed and knew where to be and at what time, would 100% recommend!
Great experience, 10/10! Good value for money, great time spent on both islands, and lovely tour guide!
A great experience visiting the two islands, the demonstrations were informative and not too long. Overall well worth the money and time invested.
Beatrice was very friendly and informative. The whole tour was very enjoyable and we particularly liked Burano. We highly recommend the tour.
Murano & Burano worth a visit and Beatrice our tour guide was very cheerful.
Wonderful day exploring the Islands of Murano & Burano. I would highly recommend these stunning views. We went with Beatrice who was very welcoming and informative.
Beatrice was very nice good customer service and very caring personality amazing service 👍
Great experience for the day trip to Murano and Burano. It was a friendly atmosphere and our guide Ema gave us a lot of details. The group of 26 was a reasonable size, the visited objectives were crowded, not unexpected for a Saturday. We had a great time. Thank you Ema and the rest of the crew!
It was a little difficult to hear on the boat due to loud noise, but Emma was very informative throughout the tour and helpful when we asked about directions in Venice.
Emma was very informative and open ti giving advice. The tour felt a bit short, there wasn’t too much time on both islands.
everything came perfectly I am very satisfie
Me and my partner had a great time our tour guide was absolutely brilliant he was really friendly and happy to answer any questions that we had and he recommended some really lovely food I’ve been on quite a few excursions in different places and this was definitely one of the best. Thank you for a lovely experience I would 100% recommend.
Our guide ALVISE MORO was really knowledgeable and made our trip feel really relaxed. He was super friendly and gave us a nice lunch recommendation too in Burano. We felt that we could have done a little longer on each island but overall it was a good length of day.
Wonderful tour guide informative but not over talkative. Just enough time to walk around the islands and get a feel for the place.
Elisabetta was the perfect guide. She was charming, sweet, funny, and knowledgeable. It's hard to imagine having enjoyed this activity as much without her energy to lead to the way. Elisabetta is the reason digital guides will never be able to replace people.
Excellent guide, good communicator and had a lot of local knowledge. Everything was well organized and smooth.
Excellent tour with a great mix of sites to see, activities to watch, and helpful explanations throughout. Loved the island of Burano. Sara was a great guide. I highly recommend it.
Amazing experience, short rides so we could really enjoy the cities Murano and Burano and our guide was next level, if you do this tour and want to get a great experience make sure to ask for Alvise as you guide!
Elisabetta was an incredible tour guide. She was very informative and welcoming to all of us on the trip. She answered all of our questions with enthusiasm and you could tell that she loved the city.
Tour was wonderful and guide was so friendly amd helpful!
Important informations regarding to the history of the area given.
Everything was perfect! Elena was always there to assist us in any way and answer every question! She was very accurate and really polite. The tour was also amazing! We saw many things. Especially butane was beautiful. Very expensive but for the pasta is worth it. I definitely recommend it!!
Helena was amazing instructor and very kind and helpful i recommend this experience to everyone who wants to learn more about this beautiful place called Venice!
Helena was a great guide. Very informative and open to all questions. She was awesome!!
Lovely experience. Guide was amazing and very helpful.
Great tour and storytelling by Alvise!!! Récompenses 100% !!
Great local knowledge. Loved the trip.totally recommend. Emma was a great host.
The tour was great and Emma is a darling. Definitely recommend it!
Great guide, great trip on Gondola. Aurora was excellent. Technology on Gondola just played music.
The overall experience is good. Just that the boat is slightly unbalanced.
Excellent tour and Francesco was fabulous! The glass blowing was incredibly cool and Burano is a must visit for all - especially lovers of embroidery! Cheaper to do the tour than a water taxi to the islands Solo - definitely worth it! Grazie mille!
Great tour and very informative
Francesco was an amazing guide and we had a wonderful captain! This was an overall great experience. Everything was very easy this was my first time out of the country I highly recommend! I do not speak Italian lol.
This tour with our guide Kiera got off to a great start. Booked the semi private (morning tour) up to 10 people. My wife and I ended up being the only two on this tour! The water taxi that was used to get us to and from was beautiful! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the glass blowing demonstration and seeing the showroom in Murano. However, not happy with the amount of time we were left with the salesman. He did not pressure us but we felt like we were wasting time. Yeah, this was the only activity we did in Murano...boooo! Didn't get to see the lighthouse because we ran out of time...too much time spent in the showroom. Burano was a beautiful, quaint town. Saw a lace making demonstration and got a free cookie (small, bite size) from a historical bakery. Enjoyed our time here. The water taxi ride back was phenomenal, plenty of photo ops, but remember we were the only 2 on the boat.
Sarah was welcoming and friendly, took us to watch the glass making in Murano and then we had free time within the island to take pics. Most places to eat were closed (perhaps because it was a Monday). We also went to Burano where she took us to try some biscuit samples and meet the owner of the bakery. We also visited and met owners of textile store. After that, we had free time to walk around the island and take pics (for about 1 hr). Most restaurant started closing early at around 5ish (on a Monday). We left S Marco plaza on boat(not full or crowded) at 230 pm and left Burano at around 610 pm back to S Marco plaza.
It was an enjoyable trip to Murano & Burano, you get to have a free time in both places. Sara is a positive& helpful guide. We’d basically recommend it if you have some extra time in Venice. Thank you!
The experience was really good! Our Guide Sera was very informative, providing a lot of information and she was also very involved, she was with us, talking to us, and also provided a lot of tips. She was very helpful and kind. We had an amazing time.
Loved the free time to explore and do whatever wanted. Our tour guide Sara was lovely.
Amazing experience. Best value for our money we have spent in Europe so far. Sara was amazing. Loved every minute.
Alviso was a fantastic guide, we learnt so many facts about Venice and he was so friendly. There was plenty of room on the boat and were given plenty of time at each of the stops. Each island is beautiful and so glad we got to visit them. Highly recommend this tour!
The guide and staff are nice people, the tour itself okay
It was an amazing experience, was really good and the guide was so knowledgeable and cool
We had an amazing time and learned a lot! It was the perfect way to see both islands. Would highly recommend.
