Islands Tours in Venice

"Great trip! Well worth the money to visit the two islands and see a glass blowing demonstration. The time goes by fast but if you’re only in Venice for the weekend it’s the perfect amount of time. Our guide was lovely, I believe her name was Georgina but I don’t quite remember. She gave the tour in 4 different languages and was very helpful to everyone. "

Excellent experience for a day off: Venice train station / Murano and St. Mark. Just loved hopping on&off and not worring about queues: it's March but with local ferries there were already incredible waiting times...thanks Venetiana!! All worth it

The 2 island tour was good for us overall. The boat was nice and allweil organized. We would have enjoyed more time on each island, Murano and Burano, as we had only some 60 minutes available for us on each island. The glass blowing presentation was a disappointment. It only took some 15 minutes and I missed explanations and close up views.

At first it might seem a bit pointless booking this tour as the water bus passes you can buy quite cheaply cover the locations on this tour meaning you can do them at your own leisure, but this tour has some commentary, a boat with plenty of room on it that’s not too crowded or hot, and you’re also not waiting in queues half a mile long for boarding. Perfect amount of time at each location and was back before evening. Beautiful scenery on the way. Overall well worth the price of not having to queue for hours and the comfort of getting a nice window seat, less hassle and much less stress than just using your standard water bus

Consider this a taste of the different islands. There is not much time spent in any one island to really get a feel. For example the next time we are in Venice we are planning a day trip to Burano. We found that it was good value for the money. The audio system on our boat is worn out and full of static. Needs to be fixed because we could not reaaly here the commentary. They also need to wash the sa last sins from the windows as the glass was clouded with salt stains.

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.

Selina was a very special guide. She was informative, patient, very good English and so attentive to us. The boat was great. We loved every minute. This trip helped us to understand and appreciate these islands and their importance to Venice.

First of all Nicole was amazing, a true historian. She shared a lot of stories on our round trip to both islands. Muranos factory I was a little hesitant about but, it’s a labor of love that has been on going for centuries. If you can please go. Burano was absolutely beautiful even in the rain. The second leaning building don’t miss it.
