Islands Tours in Venice

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.

We loved having the tours of Murano and Burano and the opportunity to get on the water, while in Venice. Flavia was an excellent guide, friendly and informative. She also helped us to get to the oldest bookstore in 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).

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.

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 !!

I liked it a lot. During the boat ride they explain detailed things to you and then you have 1 hour free on all the islands. In Murano it falls short, there you could do an hour and a quarter and Torcello 45 minutes

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 started on time and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The guide spoke English a little bit quickly and was very difficult to understand (this was also due to the fact that the mostly Italian-speaking guests immediately began to parley after the explanation given in Italian and thus caused an additional noise level). The meeting point was described in detail in the confirmation email - but there was no sign or other information (beach flag, sign, button, parasol with logo or the like) to be seen at the meeting point. The boat arrived very punctually, so there was no "blue" ship to be seen. This was better solved on the tours in Amsterdam or Copenhagen. Personally, I would like more detailed explanations of the sights - it was a bit superficial.
