Good activity but free time on site too short, you spend more time on the boat than on the islands. The guide only speaks English.

We loved that day, Flavia was wonderful, she gave a lot of information clearly and always in a good mood! We were very well received on both islands and it is worth seeing how they work glass in Murano, it is incredible. The island of Burano is so beautiful, it looks like a postcard. We highly recommend taking this tour if you are visiting Venice.
