It felt very organized and we enjoyed that aspect of it. We found the tour informative and thoroughly impressed with the guides handle on multiple languages. We did not know what to expect for the islands but really enjoyed them and the time allotted at each location, especially with the warm weather . We had expected to be dropped back off at a sorting point so we were surprised to be dropped off at St Mark's and have to figure out our way back to our starting location. Once the boat docked,we had intended to tip the guide and get some instructions from her, but she was the first to get off the boat and took off right away.

Confusion with which boat and where to queue on a very busy quayside. Boat should have departed at 10.30 but was late and didn’t leave till 10.50. Guide could not be heard over noisy engine. Not much to see in Murano other than glass factory and a few shops selling the same. Burano was stunning, picturesque coloured houses with some amazing shops, restaurants and bars

We loved the glassblower's performance; it was fascinating to watch. The shopping time was very short. The same goes for Murano, a cute little island but too little time to shop. Otherwise, the boat ride was very pleasant and the guide was very friendly.
