Marcus D.
I definitely recommend doing this half day tour. The guide gave lots of information about Venice, Murano, and Burano. It was very interesting to visit the glass making factory in Murano. Even more charming was the brightly coloured main street in Burano with lace making shops but generally a lovely island all around. We had a great time.

I felt the demonstration of the glass blowing was great. Thought the showroom was a little pricey for the amount of time we were on the island. Otherwise, very interesting.

We loved having the tours of Murano and Burano and the opportunity to get on the water, while in Venice. Flavia was an excellent guide, friendly and informative. She also helped us to get to the oldest bookstore in Venice!
