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.

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!

Tourist guides are very knowledgeable and inform in different languages. Going to the glass town of Murano is a must while being in Venezia. The boat ride is very pleasant and can be enjoyed from the inside and outside. The time and hours are more than enough as you get to experience some creations of glass objects, enjoy the colorful town of Burano and make it back to Venezia on time for a wonderful afternoon and late lunch if you didn’t have a bite in Burano.

The pier was very easy to find as the instructions are so clear. The guides were great, not a lot of information but it was also nice to just sit and enjoy the views from the boat. Murano was great, if you want to shop, there are plenty more glass shops in the town, and it’s much nicer shopping outside. Burano was great and allowed enough free time to have a leisurely lunch and see most of the town. Torcello was beautiful, not as interesting as the others and fewer food options. The only toilet was a paid one. The tour was the perfect pace for the day, a good mix of structure and free time. Between each island was about a 30 min trip, allowing time to rest your legs and and hour back to the main island to rest before walking home. Great tour and highly recommend.

The price is quite good compared to other options, however it is a little tedious having to listen to the guide repeat the same information in 5 different languages, because there comes a time when he is talking about monuments or places that are no longer in sight While the boat is moving, it would be preferable to book something smaller with the preferred language. Aside from that, the overall experience is good and the guide is very helpful and friendly.

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

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.

Fortunata G.
Overall, we enjoyed the visit. However, there is little time left to explore each island. In Murano, most of the time is spent visiting the Fábrica do Vidro (which is fantastic!). Here, we watch the production of some glass pieces in real time. Right before our eyes. Torcello doesn't have much to do with it. If you are looking for colorful spaces, this is the ideal island. Burano stayed in our hearts. The colors make that place become wonderful and a unique setting. We advise you to take sandwiches for lunch and enjoy the boat trip to eat.
