Really enjoyed our gondola ride! All well organised and efficient. The actual ride lasted for 25 minutes, which felt like long enough and was good value for money. Really pleased we booked this, the highlight of our day in Venice!

We loved the Serenade on the gondola. It was the highlight of our trip. The singer and the harmonica player were expert professional musicians and it was absolutely fantastic. They sang for the full half an hour and made of Venice trip. unforgettable!

Tourist guides are very knowledgeable and inform in different languages. Going to the glass town of Murano is a must while being in Venezia. The boat ride is very pleasant and can be enjoyed from the inside and outside. The time and hours are more than enough as you get to experience some creations of glass objects, enjoy the colorful town of Burano and make it back to Venezia on time for a wonderful afternoon and late lunch if you didn’t have a bite in Burano.

The best way to transfer from the train station to the hotel! Francesca met us on the platform and was so friendly and welcoming. She even took pictures of us with some of the sights in the background while we were on the water taxi. Very highly recommended!!!

Beautiful visits with an interesting guide. However, as 2.5 hours of sightseeing approached, she picked up the pace and we quickly passed rooms of the Doge's Palace. A little frustrating.

At the beginning everything was ok: the guide, the transportation to Murano. But the visit on the island was too long: exept the factory there is nothing to do there! It's just touristic. Burano is more beautyful. And you can visit more things there, so here the visit was a bit too short! Then we went back to San Marco at about 3. Our guide was'nt there anymore? and we had to manage on our own to find a person who told us we had to wait till 5.30 to have a boat to our starting point??? We had to wait too long! So we went back on foot. It isn't normal. The distribution of time for this activity is not good: too much time in Murano, to little time in Burano and more than 2 hours to wait at San Marco. Don't forget most of the people had already visit San Marco!

It was raining and there were only a few people on the boat. It was a unique and beautiful trip. We saw so much and learnt a lot too, the trip was definitely worth it, those 4 hours were well used. Would definitely recommend to others.

The first stop was too short, after the glass demonstration and a little wonder by their shop you have almost no time to explore the place outside!! We did the half day because we couldn't book the full day anymore so this still a good alternative but of you have time go for a full day trip.

Definitely worthwhile taking this trip. It was very busy and we were kept waiting in a queue on the dock in the hot sun for over 40 minutes before we boarded and left for Murano which wasn’t great, felt like cattle, but glad we didn’t bail as we enjoyed our day, especially Burano

Alfonso

Easy to find the meeting point. Exchanged bar codes for tickets and then the boat left from directly behind the ticket office. The islands tour was really good, impressive to see the glass blowing and around 45 minutes to explore each of the three islands. The guide was great, explaining everything in multiple languages. A really enjoyable, well organised trip.
