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).

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.

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.

Friendly, competent, very knowledgeable, many thanks to our guide Claudia, who integrated our children (11 and 6 years) wonderfully. The transfers with the motor boats were also great! Highly recommended!

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