the visit to Murano was very short, perhaps they could give more minutes to tour the island, everything else is ok

Transportation to the activity was us walking there, and that was fine! Google maps came in very handy with the winding walkways and narrow alleyways. Our tour guide was very pleasant and told us a little bit about the history of the city and the special sights to take note of.

Top visit. On the other hand, our meeting place was wrong. We almost missed our visit because the meeting place was wrong! This is not acceptable for a service of this price. The data is not up to date on the site. Fortunately the person who was in the wrong place indicated was kind enough to point us to the right place. We arrived just in time after a race through the streets of Venice. Tomorrow we have another visit but I no longer trust the address given for departure!

Could not hear the tour guide at all. Voice was not loud and lower level could not hear her. Murano was all about buying Murano, which of course we did. There was nothing in Burano to see. Too a few pics and found a bar. Boat ride was fine and comfortable. Rather crowded.

There were two of us and we booked an hour walk with a guide. It was easy to book and I would highly recommend it. We were only in Venice for two days and the walking tour gave us so much information and helped us to get orientated. It very much added to our trip!!

My husband and I had an amazing experience on our boat tour through Venice with Emiliano. From start to finish, it felt like a truly personal and memorable way to see the city. Emiliano was a fantastic guide—warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely funny with a great sense of humor. He took us through both the quiet canals and the iconic Grand Canal, pointing out beautiful historic buildings and sharing interesting stories, including who lives where and the history behind many of the landmarks. We also enjoyed delicious wine and snacks during the ride, which made the experience even more special. The boat itself was beautiful—new, clean, very well-kept, and incredibly comfortable. You could tell Emiliano takes pride in what he does, both in how he treats his guests and in how he maintains his boat. We can’t recommend this tour enough. It was a highlight of our trip and the perfect way to experience Venice from the water. We wish Emi the best!

Fantastic way to explore Venice, it felt like visiting with a friend. We learnt alot about the city and living there, and saw places we would never have found on our own. Lunch at a great restaurant with beautiful food, and Lorenzo was such a great guide and fun person to spend time with. Highly recommend, this was a highlight of our Italian vacation.

The excursion to the lagoon gave us the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello. The boat ride through nature was breathtaking, and a stop on the island of Murano allowed us to see the glass making process and learn about the art of glassblowing.
