We reached the glass-making island Murano after about a 30-minute boat ride, where we watched the production live and took a short tour. Afterwards, we headed to another island, Burano which was full of colorful houses—an ideal place to enjoy your time and take beautiful photos. I believe our guides kindly offered to take those who were interested to a third island (Toricelli?) as well, but I chose to skip it, thinking Murano and Burano would be enough for the day. The guides—two ladies and two gentlemen—were very kind, cheerful, and informative. The only downsides were waiting in the sun for a while at the meeting point and, due to my own lack of attention, getting a nice sunburn from sitting on the upper deck of the boat. But even that became a sweet memory of a lovely day:)

The overall tour was great and our guide was lovely to be with. She was very knowledgeable and helped show us so much more than we could have done on our own. The only thing that we wished was longer was the glass blowing. The demonstration was only about 10 mins long and we would have loved to see more of this.

It was an experience, but it's better to explore it yourself with an ACTV ticket. Our guide was super friendly and helpful, but unfortunately her English was difficult to understand. We felt like we were just tagging along and always had to ask where and when we needed to be back.

This was a great day out. Camilla was a very informative and easy to listen to guide. It was clearly marked where to meet up and audio earpieces given out to hear the guides descriptions along the way. The boat was very big, comfortably fit everyone (approx 40-50 people on the tour). The first stop Murano was good with great demonstration and opportunity to purchase in the shop after and have a look around the island (though we got caught up looking at the glass displays). A tasty snack which was a surprise was also given on the bit between stops - two large Meatballs on a skewer pp and a glass of organic local made wine (there was enough for seconds if you wanted aswell). We dropped some people off at Torcella on the way to Burano. Burano was wonderful and plenty of time to explore the island with many opportunities to purchase souvenirs as well as have eats/drinks.
