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

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.

Unfortunately, I had to spend too much time in a glass shop. A drinking glass for €200, well, if you like that.

It was really loud. It was good but the stops were too short. Toilet broken

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).

Great experience. A bit short in Murano and very sales oriented, but fully compensated by a beautiful experience in Burano. Our tour guide was fantastic.

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!

Very well organized, friendly guide and very inspired by his region. The advantage of this tour is still to avoid crowds in the public shuttles and also to take the time to stop where you want. Disappointment nevertheless on the visit to Murano, especially on the too short demonstration of the master glassmaker.

Boat full of people, Murano you do not see it but you only go down to the glass factory to see the demonstration and buy something inside the factory itself. Torcello no big deal, Burano very pretty but too little time available.

A great day with a very authentic tour guide who spontaneously responded to requests.

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.
