Roxana
I loved!!! A super nice experience! Gabriele is a very prepared and nice person and all his team and collaborators very well too! They are small groups so it is more personalized Highly recommended!!
Larry M.
The trip was too short. Did not receive the tickets and taxi details in advance.

I'll give it 5 stars as we thoroughly enjoyed the day trip to the islands, although on reflection we could of well spent another hour on Burano as the island is so lovely & we just wanted to explore it a bit more & then have a bite to eat and this is without seeing any lace being made (tbh we weren't fussed but this may help others who want to) Our guide was lovely, very friendly & informative, the only part apart from being able to spend long on Burano is that we stood outside the church on Murano for a good 10mins been told the history before walking into it, this for us was at last 5 mins too long, other than that a really great day out on both islands as watching the 'live' demonstration of the glass being made was superb.

Alex and his boat driver were great! Was a great way to get aquatinted with these two islands. Highly recommended!
Leroy R.
It was peaceful and scenic, but I expected a bit more interaction or storytelling.
Joanne H.
A perfect way to escape the crowds and see the quiet beauty of the Venetian lagoon.
Tammy B.
Beautiful! I had never had an experience like this! The provider's customer service provided me with more options on the route than I could have chosen; I relied on them and I did not go wrong! I am happy to have chosen this activity, a really well spent hour! I add that even the captain of the beautiful boat was super nice and helpful!
MARIA D.
Fantastic trip with excellent guide! So worth the time and money - especially for first time visitors to Venice.
Jesse
Great experience, good organization! We were a few minutes late for the boat and they emailed us that we could take the next boat at noon or do it another day. In good weather, this is an ideal place, because in Burano you can watch a wonderful sunset, where the sun's Rays are reflected from the colorful houses and make the landscape magical!
Juanita D.
Our guide was knowledgeable and kind — we learned a lot without it feeling like a lecture.
Vesa
The tour was very good. The guide very friendly. Small proscecco tasting on board and demonstration by a glassblower. Only small regret: not having had more free time on the islands.
Mareike
Rosella our tour guide was fantastic, very informative. We loved hearing about the fascinating history and folklore of Venice’s islands. Everyone at the glass factory in Murano and the lace shop in Burano were friendly, informative and a really good laugh. Seeing the way the glass pieces were made was also fascinating and thoroughly entertaining! Burano is also beautiful. It was mine and my mum’s favourite part of our trip to Venice. The Prosecco on the way back to Venice was also lovely! I would highly recommend this tour, great fun, great chance to meet people, explore and learn more about the Venetian islands and check out/buy some beautiful artisan gifts!
PEDRO
A very nice tour. Our first stop, Murano, was interesting because you could see the glass blowing workshop, but otherwise it was rather unspectacular. Burano, on the other hand, is a very beautiful, small, picturesque town. It would have been nice to have had a little more time there (it was about 1 1/2 hours on this tour)
Foteini
Meeting point was clear. Our guide was very thoughtful and outgoing, making sure that everybody felt at ease. I would recommend this cruise. Seeing Burano + Murano is enough. Even if Torcello is also beautiful, it would lengthen the trip and might be redundant. We saw an impressive glass blowing demonstration in Murano (-20% off in the shop), I only wish we had time to stroll in the island (we only stayed on the island for the demonstration).

The motorboat was super comfortable, and the aperitif with local wine made it feel luxurious!
Carol R.
Nice tour, but a bit pricey for the short time we spent on the water.
