Venice islands half day trip

Boat ride pleasant Not enough time given at glass blowing in our opinion Lace making interesting again not enough time Note that it says tour is 4.5 hours That does not include the boat ride return so add another 35-40 to your day

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!

Excellent guide! She was very thorough and knowledgeable.

Our guide was fantastic! His knowledge and passion made the tour informative and fun.

It started 10 m-minutes late, but there were also 10 minutes longer, sometimes you say two, sometimes four and sometimes six people in one gondola, more than ten gondolas went from the main canal to a side canal and then it went back there, the singers and the instrument players you could hear the gondola took turns so that everyone could enjoy it) was far away of course you couldn't bike that much so 50 percent music guarantee

The gondola ride could be a little longer But we really appreciated the guide

Loved the extra time in beautiful Burano. Feel like me and my partner got good experience seeing both islands.

The gondola ride was nice and the time was kept.

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

I thought the trip was very good... it was quite bouncy and there was a long wait in the queue before boarding but the guys were brilliant at getting everyone on and off the boats. The trip itself wasn't very long, but the singer and the accordion were audible across all the gondolas and the journey through the grand canal followed by a number of smaller canals was very good. Everyone who heard the singing or accordion music was smiling and waving and even some danced by the side of the river - overall a very good vibe - feel good trip. Glad we did it.

spectacular! perfect!

Great trip knowledgeable guide

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.

Beautiful scenery, just a little short compared to the expected time

All aspects of the trip were very good. The Virtual Reality experience at the beginning was great, the boat trip with the guide’s commentary was really interesting. Murano glass blowing was fascinating and we had time for a stroll to see part of the island. Burano was simply beautiful and there was plenty of time to explore and to sit down for some lunch. Overall an excellent experience with a great guide and good value for money. I would highly recommend it to anyone

The guide was very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of information about the sights of Venice. I would recommend this tour to anyone who visits Venice.

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

Very well organized. Despite the fact that it was raining, it was possible to enjoy each stage, guided tour and gondola ride. The guide, excellent.

worth the money.. on a lighter note, English with Italian accent was interesting.. :-)

The trip was in a beautifully restored fishing boat - a picture perfect way to spend several hours exploring the other islands. Watching glass blowing on Murano was fascinating, but you do need to be strong to resist the underlying pressure to spend money in the shop afterwards. Burano with its colourful houses was simply stunning and Torcello was so peaceful, it seemed to offer the perfect escape from the pressures of our busy lives. Our guide was charming and unobtrusive - I would definitely recommend this as a great way of exploring the smaller islands.

Superb experience! Our guide was very informative and the little gondola ride was very enjoyable. Very good value for money!

This is very nice activity! Man in gondola is very fun! I recommend you to experience this touar! Sharing a gondra is very fun because you can meet new friends on gondra!

It was not to long and enough informative!

Excellent trip around the canals with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. The electric boat is very good too. Highly recommended.
