Cicchetti Tours in Venice

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!

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)

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.

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!

Fantastic trip with excellent guide! So worth the time and money - especially for first time visitors to Venice.

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).

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!!

Flavia was an outstanding guide ! She’s kind , very knowledgeable and ready to help or answer all of the groups questions . Unforgettable experience . Thank you again Flavia !

Lovely tour! Very interesting to see the glass factory and the lace. The boat journey was gorgeous and our tour guide Flavia was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and gave us some great recommendations at the end for some places to eat! Thank you

Excellent guide! She was very thorough and knowledgeable.

Flavia was excellent and perfect for the job. Friendly and informative. Interesting visits to both islands. Very good value. Boat was comfy and undercover, a bit noisy in the back so we found it was best to sit in the front. There was a ‘longer than expected’ walk to the boat from the meeting point, over 4 not-so-small bridges

Our guide for the tour was Francesca, who was a fabulous guide! They were so helpful and talked with enthusiasm and experience of all the things we would see and experience. The boat was comfortable, the captain took us skilfully through the lagoon to Murano. Francesca took us to the Murano glass factory to watch the craftsmen work the glass and then we followed on to the museum to see exquisite art pieces of glassware. Next on to the pretty and colourful island of Burano to wander the streets and browse the shops and cafes. We saw lace making and marvelled at the array of beautifully coloured buildings along the canals. Great photo opportunities! All Too soon we were back in the boat to be guided back with a fantastic guided return of history and points of interest from Francesca. Highly recommend Francesca and the tour.

Great tour! The glass blowing demonstration was fascinating and the lace demonstration was very beautiful. Both were very interesting to watch. Our guide Flavia was very informative and an amazing guide. She explained many of the processes and answered many questions with ease and grace. She was a great guide. I would definitely recommend this tour and especially Flavia. Her tips for visiting Venice and the surrounding islands were great and much appreciated!

Great guide Flavia Costa gave us a wonderful tour. Would highly recommend taking this tour.
