Alexande
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.

The tour guide was very helpful and was pointing out various landmarks around the islands. The passengers were split into two groups, one each for two glass factories on Murano. We went to the Mazzucato factory which had a very good demonstration of glass blowing

Murano part was spoiled by being captive in one shop and factory. We would have liked time to walk to all the shops, so the stop should have been another 1/2 hour longer. Technically one could have left the shop but there was no time, and you had to come through the shop again to get back to the boat. The other two islands were superb stops, and perfect as they occurred. Fifteen more minutes on Torello would have been icing on the cake.

This is 100% worth doing! We had the BEST tour guide who spoke 4 languages. The glass blowing was amazing in Murano and the lace at the last stop was beautiful and so much to choose from. Awesome pizza on that island at the far end too We HIGHLY recommend doing this tour!

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.
