From Venice: Murano and Burano Half-Day Island Tour by Boat

The best part was the guide, Flavia Costa was absolutely excellent, she kept us informed & also entertained the entire time & nothing was too much trouble. Such a lovely person, thank you Flavia! Nothing could be improved.

All went perfectly well and our guide Serena was great!

Lovely tour! Very interesting to see the glass factory and the lace. The boat journey was gorgeous and our tour guide Flavia was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and gave us some great recommendations at the end for some places to eat! Thank you

Excellent guide! She was very thorough and knowledgeable.

Flavia was excellent and perfect for the job. Friendly and informative. Interesting visits to both islands. Very good value. Boat was comfy and undercover, a bit noisy in the back so we found it was best to sit in the front. There was a ‘longer than expected’ walk to the boat from the meeting point, over 4 not-so-small bridges

Our tour guide, Flavia was a joy! She had great knowledge of Murano and Burano and even gave us great restaurant recommendations upon our return to Venice. The glass making demonstration in Murano was interesting to watch and the lace making in Burano was a unique glimpse at a dying art. We were able to make purchases of both Murano glass and lace. Burano is beautiful with its colorful houses. We had some free time in Burano for a gelato stop and bought some Venetian cookies. The boat ride was great as well. Overall great tour!!

Our guide for the tour was Francesca, who was a fabulous guide! They were so helpful and talked with enthusiasm and experience of all the things we would see and experience. The boat was comfortable, the captain took us skilfully through the lagoon to Murano. Francesca took us to the Murano glass factory to watch the craftsmen work the glass and then we followed on to the museum to see exquisite art pieces of glassware. Next on to the pretty and colourful island of Burano to wander the streets and browse the shops and cafes. We saw lace making and marvelled at the array of beautifully coloured buildings along the canals. Great photo opportunities! All Too soon we were back in the boat to be guided back with a fantastic guided return of history and points of interest from Francesca. Highly recommend Francesca and the tour.

We had a great time. Selena was amazing and very patient when we were running behind buying glass!!!

Great tour! The glass blowing demonstration was fascinating and the lace demonstration was very beautiful. Both were very interesting to watch. Our guide Flavia was very informative and an amazing guide. She explained many of the processes and answered many questions with ease and grace. She was a great guide. I would definitely recommend this tour and especially Flavia. Her tips for visiting Venice and the surrounding islands were great and much appreciated!

Francesca was really informative and we have enjoyed the tour. Thank you for this great experience
