We had an amazing day, so glad that we booked this trip. Great value for money. Murano and Burano were brilliant, there was less to see on Torecello but glad we booked it as we had longer at Burano than those who had just booked the Murano & Burano trip. Watching the glass making in Murano was really interesting too.

activity was good however it felt very rushed at both locations. at the meeting point the guide failed to hold up a sign so it was difficult to find the meeting point. we had to ring the company to get better information.
