Venice Boat Tours & Cruises

Overall, we enjoyed the visit. However, there is little time left to explore each island. In Murano, most of the time is spent visiting the Fábrica do Vidro (which is fantastic!). Here, we watch the production of some glass pieces in real time. Right before our eyes. Torcello doesn't have much to do with it. If you are looking for colorful spaces, this is the ideal island. Burano stayed in our hearts. The colors make that place become wonderful and a unique setting. We advise you to take sandwiches for lunch and enjoy the boat trip to eat.

The first 2 islands were very nice, the last one was not much (a church on an island) There were also people who did the 2 islands tour, I would recommend that to people. A visit to the glass museum is an absolute must as far as I am concerned, but I have not seen a tour in a glass factory (they must mean the museum, but you can visit it at your own expense and opportunity)

Our gondolier, Michael, was a delight. Very impressed with the smooth manoeuvering of his beautiful gondola. We were also treated to an impromptu song. Definitely recommend!

Great experience! We had a group of 6 people so this tour was a perfect fit for us. Our guide, Kristina, was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Having a hotel pickup and drop off was especially nice.

The boat was lovely, tour guide was fantastic. Funny and very informative about Venice in general as well as speaking about the islands. Murano glassblowing was very interesting to watch and the island of Burano was our favourite. Beautiful coloured buildings. We took the afternoon tour which meant we ate lunch before and didnt need to spend our touring time just eating in Burano. There were lovely places for a coffee or for lunch, so whatever your preference.

A beautiful RIVA type boat, all in wood, much better than the photo ;-)) The guide was great, full of anecdotes, attentive and discreet at the same time. Seeing Venice from the lagoon and the Grand Canal is an experience in itself, in addition to the interest of the other cities visited. Murano: for its glassmakers Burano: for its pretty colored houses To do ABSOLUTELY !!

Super Tour - sehr zu empfehlen!

Excellent boat and heated, friendly and adequate guide available. Beautiful demonstration in Murano, Beautiful Burano, Torcello to see. For the small difference in price, the tour of the three islands is always convenient since it offers more time to visit Burano than it deserves.

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.

Straight forward enough to find the meeting place and then a short walk to the gondola well organised in terms of splitting the large group into smaller groups for each gondola so the waiting time was minimal once we arrived at the departure point. The ride itself was great, loved the narrow canals and then the experience of entering the Grand Canal. It was wonderful to go past other gondolas, some with Italian singers on board. The trip definitely made our Venice day trip very special.

We had an amazing time on this private gondola ride. I was quite nervous at first as I had read a few negative reviews. But our experience was positive and amazing. Our gondolier was friendly, informative and courteous throughout our journey. I would highly recommend this. Great way to avoid the queues!

A lovely half day trip (4 hours) just enough time on the islands (just over an hour on each) to get some great photos and browse the shops. Glad we took this trip to visit such beautiful peaceful islands and get out of the city for a bit.

Wonderful experience, in Murano it was interesting to see the craftsman working the glass live, I couldn't help but buy something created by them! Torcello didn't impress me that much. Burano completely in love! The guide was kind and explained everything even as we arrived in the various islands. Too bad for only 45 minutes to visit the islands, with hindsight I would have definitely chosen the 6 hour one! It is worth it. Excellent quality price

I'd definitely recommend booking in advance. You can calmly order your tour program from home and enjoy your trip once you're there without having to worry about payment or a lack of language skills. The descriptions of the starting/meeting point were very precise.

Well organised and the whole ferry journey was awesome. It is such a memorable day trip which also given a choice to go to Torchello island which is a bonus. The tour is a bargain and I had a fabulous time. We were also given around 2 hours in colourful island of Burano and plenty of seafood lunch. Those on limited time and first timer will definitely enjoy this Wonderful tour with multi lingual tour guide. Reached Piazza Roma at 5.30 pm from 10.30 am

Nice views and smooth ride, but I wish there had been some historical explanation or audio guide.

Amazing - a must in Venice. The location was easy to find and the gondola ride was fantastic. A very friendly Gondolier. We arrived really early as we were in the area but the Gondoliers said it was no problem and they took us there and then.

Enjoyable but the boat journey wasn’t that comfortable

Really worth the money. Instructions not clear about where to exchange voucher for ticket. You do this at the ticket office on San Marco pier. Nice to see the other islands. A little longer in Burano and Murano would have been good. The boat wasn't over crowded and everyone had a seat. Would recommend.

Beautiful Gondola ride however not much of a guide & lots of traffic however memorable & special
