The tour was well organized and run on time. The glass blowing demo at Murano was good and impressive although it felt a bit short. We had lots of time for some shopping afterwards. We had to skip the visit to Burano due to some time limitations we had. overall it was a great experience.

Great wayup to see both islands, you spend about an hour on each . If you want to spend more time book a different cruise. Simple way to see both places rather fast .

The duration is perfect, we didn't get tired of the boat and there's enough time to visit and explore the islands. The check-in process was easy to find, was a very relaxing activity. I recommend it, Murano is the most famous for the crystal handcrafted goods, but Burano is prettier in my opinion and we liked most.

This was truly great experience and great cost! If you’re looking for a half day trip to the islands, this is definitely the one. Although you don’t get more then an hour / hour and a half per island , in my opinion , i don’t think you need more than that. Please make sure to study the meet up location Google maps prior to departure as it could be a bit confusing.

It was good. Our specific boat wasn’t too overcrowded so when we got to the glass factory there was plenty of room to see. The factory shop has some pretty hilarious pricing for products. Burano was beautiful. The tour itself was punctual. We had 30 mins free roaming in Murano and about 1 hour in Burano. For us it was enough time.

We liked the punctuality of the transportation. There is not so much time to check the islands and you could totally skip torcello. But overall it was very nice!
