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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
