Nice tour, but a bit pricey for the short time we spent on the water.
Harry
about 10 hours ago
The first stop was too short, after the glass demonstration and a little wonder by their shop you have almost no time to explore the place outside!! We did the half day because we couldn't book the full day anymore so this still a good alternative but of you have time go for a full day trip.

I have been to Venice before. I was amazed at how much I learnt on this guided tour. My guide was Francesco, who was brilliant. We visited the back lanes and off the beaten tracks of the city, which was fabulous. We went over lots of the little bridges, requiring mobility so would suggest other travellers make sure that it is right for them. I paid about 24 euros which was excellent value- it lasted just under 2 hours. I was the only one on the tour and I appreciated them running it. Meeting place was just off St Marks Square which is very central. Would highly recommend.

The boat tour was absolutely worth the 20 euro. Yeah, you don't get to spend that much time on the islands, but what do you expect for 20 euro for 4 hours. On Murano you're brought straight from Steeg to a glass blowery and you can watch them make a vase and a horse. Then there's a little time left over to buy the glass pieces they've made. In Torcello you visit the church. In Burano you have about 40 minutes to view at least the main spot on the island. Overall this was a nice trip and the pricing was appropriate.

A beautiful RIVA type boat, all in wood, much better than the photo ;-)) The guide was great, full of anecdotes, attentive and discreet at the same time. Seeing Venice from the lagoon and the Grand Canal is an experience in itself, in addition to the interest of the other cities visited. Murano: for its glassmakers Burano: for its pretty colored houses To do ABSOLUTELY !!

Our private tour of Venice was absolutely magical, thanks to our fantastic guide! Their passion for the city brought its rich history to life as they shared captivating stories around every corner. One of the highlights was discovering a hidden courtyard where we enjoyed delicious traditional cicchetti, paired with insightful commentary. The experience was tailored to our interests, taking us to charming spots we would never have found on our own. If you’re looking for an authentic and immersive experience in Venice, I highly recommend this tour! It turned a simple outing into a cherished memory that will last a lifetime.

The tour was great. There were only six people which meant it was easy to hear and ask questions. Our guide, Kristian, was very nice and friendly. He had a slight cold but he gave it his all and made the tour really enjoyable even though he didn’t feel great. It was very interesting and informative. Really glad we went.

We loved the glassblower's performance; it was fascinating to watch. The shopping time was very short. The same goes for Murano, a cute little island but too little time to shop. Otherwise, the boat ride was very pleasant and the guide was very friendly.
