Things to Do in Italy

Our gondolier Alvise Marco was fantastic! He was very engaging & funny. I highly recommend this ride.

Interesting, comprehensive and enjoyable

Top visit. On the other hand, our meeting place was wrong. We almost missed our visit because the meeting place was wrong! This is not acceptable for a service of this price. The data is not up to date on the site. Fortunately the person who was in the wrong place indicated was kind enough to point us to the right place. We arrived just in time after a race through the streets of Venice. Tomorrow we have another visit but I no longer trust the address given for departure!

Meeting point was clear. Our guide was very thoughtful and outgoing, making sure that everybody felt at ease. I would recommend this cruise. Seeing Burano + Murano is enough. Even if Torcello is also beautiful, it would lengthen the trip and might be redundant. We saw an impressive glass blowing demonstration in Murano (-20% off in the shop), I only wish we had time to stroll in the island (we only stayed on the island for the demonstration).

We loved having the tours of Murano and Burano and the opportunity to get on the water, while in Venice. Flavia was an excellent guide, friendly and informative. She also helped us to get to the oldest bookstore in Venice!

Very good, had good time viewing the lake, it was also informationL. The guide was nice and told us many interesting facts about the villas around.

Lovely day out, glass demonstration was really interesting and there were so many lovely items to buy there. The island of Burano was beautiful too.

"It's a long ride both ways, so be prepared to ride for a while. There is a nice break around the halfway point. We were picked up on time with a group of about 12 travelers. Good balance between tour information and giving us time to see and think for ourselves. Paolo, the tour leader at Pompeii, was outstanding. Very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the subject. He did an excellent job on a brutally hot day of showing us a lot in the time we had, while still giving us time in the shade to cool off.
