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

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.

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
