It was a great experience and way to visit the islands, and get good food. The tour guide was great and very informative. One thing I would recommend is to not purchase items at the first stop, but to shop around because you will find lower prices.
The boat trip was nice, but the "tour" was really more of a sales pitch than anything else. Almost no substantive content given. Instead, we were encouraged to shop at the places we watched "demonstrations" of glass-blowing and lace-making. Learned very little. Very disappointing.
A fabulous day out.Murano glass blowing was amazing to see. Burano was the highlight. The coloured houses are very pretty.
Emma was great and made us very happy. Very knowledgeable
Emma was very informative and had a great sense of humour.
Very interesting and fun. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating and he made the trip very open to our decision on where to explore. I would definitely recommend a semi- private tour like we had.
Guide to as very personalable & helpful. Recommended
Helena was a wonderful tour guide with just enough information and allowing us time to ourselves 😊
Good tour of glass blowing on Murano. Burano had enough time to walk around and eat. Good commentary, although sometimes was hard to hear clearly on the earphones.
Alexander on 10.30 tour in English was great
Very enjoyable tour of Murano and Burano islands. Very informative, shout out to our lovely guide Niccola!
We had a great adventure on this tour. Watching the artwork of glass was amazing. Then the fisherman’s town of Burano was spectacular. Very colorful and very lively on that island
This trip to the 3 islands in the Venice Lagoon was excellent! Everything went smooth. Our guide was very kind, always there to help us and gave us a lot of information. We are glad we booked this trip.
Great experience and exactly within my expectations. Gioia was a remarkable enthusiastic guide and assistant.
Definitely worth the money! Our Guide was amazing, we got so much information about the islands.
David was great guide, visits and boat were nice. The tour exceeded my expectations, also kids liked it.
Very valuable and easy trip, valid for families. Quite crowdy but very well organised and comfortable
Tour very recomended and an excellent guide
Value-for-Money tour. Was very interested to see Murat glass making! Awesome, to think that every piece of Murano glass creation is handmade, therefore no identical pieces. Burano was also a picture-perfect tourist destination. Quaint town, colorful houses with rustic charm!
We had a great time. The boat was comfortable and our guide Letitia, was very good, knowledgeable and was interesting to hear history of the lagoon and islands. The glass blowing display, although short, was awesome and my teen girls loved it (you don't take part in the display despite what description says). You have the option to buy pieces from teh showroom at 50% discount, I would say take the 50% with a pinch of salt, as the 50% looks like the real price to me anyway, that said we bought some nice pieces. Not much time in Murano before we headed to Burano, which was beautiful with coloured houses and we saw some lace display although really more about showing what shop sells, some if which was beautiful, then on to sample Buranese biscuits, really really good. After that and hour and a half to walk around island, probably an hour would do, you can get a small bite to eat. Then home on boat. Letitia was welcoming as spoke to us on trip, talking about her visit to wild Atlantic way on Ireland. Overall great, highly recommended.
We learned a lot and spent a very good moment between Burano Murano and Venice! We recommend
Our guide was so friendly, informative and the actvties were so meaningful. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!
Allegra is wonderful tour guide. Will recommend her in a heart bit
This was a great tour and our guide was awesome! She provides so much historical information and current events on both islands (Murano and Brusno). We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and will recommend in the future.
Great tour! We all found the information from our wonderful guide (Julia) interesting and it was a great balance of guided and independent. Excellent value for money too.
Allegra was our guide and she was knowledgeable, well organized and a delight to spend the afternoon with. Our trip to Murano and Burano was our favorite activity of our 10 day trip to Italy. Allegra made it a wonderful memory for us.
We had a great experience touring the venetian lagoon ! The mini excursion was quite interesting and we got to learn many things about the islands, while also enjoyed the beautiful Italian scenery and explored the local cuisine. Our guide, Alessia, was the best we could ask for and made the whole experience even better. We totally recommend it if you’re looking to book a similar tour 🤗
Alessia is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the tour. Thank you!
Wonderful experience visiting the islands, the glass blowing was amazing to watch and Burano was very pretty. Our guide Allessia was friendly and helpful throughout and the trip was great value for money. Would 100% recommend 👌 Great day.
Valentina was a great guide! I recommend this tour!
Valentina was amazing! She was so educated and friendly! She is also a secret comedian in the making!
Excellent experience. Would highly recommend. Amazing to experience the islands of Murano and Burano. Especially Burano for me. Top quality products and craftsmanship. Our guide Valentina was exceptional. Great fun! Loved it and would do it again!
Guide was great and so was the trip. The glass demonstration was amazing...such artistry. Lace making was more of a sales pitch to biy from the ship but they have amazing items so we bought!! Haha. Would have lived more time in Murano to explore the town. Overall the tour was excellent!
Once we had found where the trip was leaving from it was very well organised and stress free. The earphones worked well
Some issues with the sound system.
Gaia was very friendly and knowledgeable. She gave us great tips on what to do and where to go during our trip.
A great tour. Both the timeframe and the amount we got done was awesome. Would definitely recommend. Emma the guide was also fantastic and delivered so much history about Venice and the islands which made the boat ride far more enjoyable and engaging.
Great combination of education/ activity and free time. Tour guide was lovely and informative. Would highly recommend
The trip to Murano and Burano was very enjoyable, pour guide Gioia was excellent, very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
If you're expecting any more than a little over an hour in Murano, then you might want to pick a different tour. We were disappointed that we were rushed to do any shopping for souvenirs. A wonderful tour for us, but for some reason, we thought we'd have more time
The trip was great, weather was brilliant. Only gripe was at the meet point, it seemed very disorganised and we actually left 25 minutes later than stated time.
It was the perfect amount of time to see both Murano and Burano Islands. Our tour guide was informational, and we really enjoyed what she had to say about the islands plus Venice. I would recommend.
Fab trip and wonderful guide thank you Marina!!
Alessia was a lovely guide. Learned quite a bit. Great to see master glass artist at work. Pretty Burano
Very good informative and knowledgeable guide. Enjoyed our day!
Great trip with a passionate guide Giovanni. We say all the important points of interest of the three islands, for an affordable price.
Excellent tour. A must if in Venice. Julia was a wonderful tour guide super knowledgeable and friendly.
Lovel6tour , Julia was fantastic.
Sara was a great guide! Friendly and highly informative. The trip gave me a different side of Venice that I thoroughly enjoyed. Charming islands and stunning views. A great day out !
