The tickets can be bought on-site at the same price, only we had the problem that the tour wasn't in German even though we'd booked it so. The woman who led the tour was really nice and tried to explain things in Spanish, Italian and Englisch as I know a bit of each. I had doubts about the tour, but it was easy to find and it all worked out well. I'd book the tour again.

This is a great tour to give you an overview of the Islands, there is sufficient time allowed for visits on each and will give you enough information to allow you to decide if you would like to come back to explore them further. It's also a lovely boat ride with plenty of scenery to take in.

For a few hours tour, this experience was worth the price and probably more. I didn't really care about the Torcello island, but Murano and Burano were very enjoyable. No issues with moving from one island to another because everyone in the group was good at keeping with the time.

Overall, we enjoyed the visit. However, there is little time left to explore each island. In Murano, most of the time is spent visiting the Fábrica do Vidro (which is fantastic!). Here, we watch the production of some glass pieces in real time. Right before our eyes. Torcello doesn't have much to do with it. If you are looking for colorful spaces, this is the ideal island. Burano stayed in our hearts. The colors make that place become wonderful and a unique setting. We advise you to take sandwiches for lunch and enjoy the boat trip to eat.
