Good visit to watch a glass master make a vase and a little horse, then some time to enjoy Murano island. On to Burano to explore it for a wee while. All in all a good little tour

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.

Could not hear the tour guide at all. Voice was not loud and lower level could not hear her. Murano was all about buying Murano, which of course we did. There was nothing in Burano to see. Too a few pics and found a bar. Boat ride was fine and comfortable. Rather crowded.

This is an activity worth doing. Amazing views in Burano and great glass structures in Murano.

Easy to find the meeting point. Exchanged bar codes for tickets and then the boat left from directly behind the ticket office. The islands tour was really good, impressive to see the glass blowing and around 45 minutes to explore each of the three islands. The guide was great, explaining everything in multiple languages. A really enjoyable, well organised trip.

All islands were great in their own respect but Burano was excellent.

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.
