We had such an amazing time on our trip. From the moment we stepped on to the boat our guide was fantastic. It was a great history lesson in all thing Venetian and any questions we had were answered. We visited Murano and Burano and our guide ensured we didn’t miss anything at the same time giving us space. Would highly recommend! Thank you so much

Good for getting a quick impression, but very little time (although the schedule was known when booking. We only noticed on Murano that we would have liked to have seen more of the island).

The only option to see the islands in just over 4 hours with an excellent guide, sensitive and attentive to our needs. An extremely pleasant morning. A thousand thanks!

Nice boat trip with weak German explanation. Somewhat chaotic organization. From the meeting point to the ship through a crowd of people at the market square. Stop in Murano just for buying glass. Torcello visit to the church (5 €). Free design is only possible on Burano. Recommended only in good weather.

Great experience! We had a group of 6 people so this tour was a perfect fit for us. Our guide, Kristina, was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Having a hotel pickup and drop off was especially nice.

Unfortunately we were unable to hear the guide on the boat. The sound system was inadequate. Therefore gained no information, therefore no point paying for a guided tour!! Transport was on time but staff were unhelpful & disinterested.
