Great experience, good organization! We were a few minutes late for the boat and they emailed us that we could take the next boat at noon or do it another day. In good weather, this is an ideal place, because in Burano you can watch a wonderful sunset, where the sun's Rays are reflected from the colorful houses and make the landscape magical!

A very nice tour. Our first stop, Murano, was interesting because you could see the glass blowing workshop, but otherwise it was rather unspectacular. Burano, on the other hand, is a very beautiful, small, picturesque town. It would have been nice to have had a little more time there (it was about 1 1/2 hours on this tour)

Great tour! Pace was good, not too slow and not too fast. The guide Serena (?) was great and with massive experience of Venice

practical organization, and very pleasant guides. The time given to Murano is more than enough, especially if you do not want to buy handcrafted glasses. on the other hand, the stop at Burano deserves 1 hour more to allow time to wander more.

Our guide and the boat driver were very nice and knowledgeable. These 2 small and very charming cities, you should visit, a nice way to get away a little from the big crowd of Venice. Unfortunately 2 costumers from our tour found a way to get lost and made the whole group wait for 25’ inside the boat and reduced the time we could have had for a nicer lunch in Burano.
