Rosella our tour guide was fantastic, very informative. We loved hearing about the fascinating history and folklore of Venice’s islands. Everyone at the glass factory in Murano and the lace shop in Burano were friendly, informative and a really good laugh. Seeing the way the glass pieces were made was also fascinating and thoroughly entertaining! Burano is also beautiful. It was mine and my mum’s favourite part of our trip to Venice. The Prosecco on the way back to Venice was also lovely! I would highly recommend this tour, great fun, great chance to meet people, explore and learn more about the Venetian islands and check out/buy some beautiful artisan gifts!

Important clarification: we first visit Burano; very nice for strolling around, but two hours is too short to include lunch and a possible visit to the museum! so you have to choose .... in Murano: the glassware is at the descent of the boat, the demonstration is nice but it is clearly a commercial operation. for non-English speakers; abstain because you completely miss the comments that make the excursion interesting.

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).

The tour was very good. The guide very friendly. Small proscecco tasting on board and demonstration by a glassblower. Only small regret: not having had more free time on the islands.
