Next, head to Burano, which you’ll be able to see from the shore thanks to its vividly colored buildings. Enjoy some free time to wander around, meet the locals, enjoy a cup of coffee and take some memorable pictures.

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

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!

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.

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.

It was very difficult to understand our guide even though she addressed us in both Italian and English. Marano was very nice though the museum prices are high compared to what you find elsewhere. Burano is amazing would’ve loved my time there. Skip the last stop entirely

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.
