Customer reviews of tours in Venice

The sight of the boat when arriving was a little disappointing, another idea at the start, according to the photo of the very selling site. But our skyper swept this negative note. Thank you to him for his energy, his passion for the place and his history

Great tour with our guide Tomaso. Lots of exciting information. Thank you for the wonderful time.

Wonderful experience! The weather was not the best for us, but Tomazzo was communicative with us about the likelihood of the excursion. Once we were on the water, Tomazzo served us Prosecco and told us much about Venetian history and culture. Though the water was choppy from the storm, our spirits were high as he guided us masterfully through the tour. 10/10 recommend.

Beautiful ride, very nice guide and precise in the stories, wonderful day it's worth it! All accompanied by good prosecco

Left later because we had to wait for others and came back a little early. Every minute would have been precious because otherwise it was beautiful.

The boat trip around the islands was a great experience. Our skipper and guide Tomaso introduced us to the history and numerous interesting facts of Venice in a very entertaining way. The prosecco (of which there was plenty) was the icing on the cake. The duration of the trip was also appropriate.

Romantic quiet relaxed atmosphere. A slightly different perspective of the wonderful landscape of Venice and the surrounding islands. Beautiful sunset. Nice informative boat trip in the evening. Definitely enough Prosecco; D.

Amazing, friendly guide who was good fun and told us some really interesting things about Venice lovely people who joined us on the boat! Was a definite must, rounded our trip off perfectly to get away from the busy city and people and soak it all in with a few glasses of Prosecco.

Really fun guide boatman, very informative and nothing was too much trouble, definitely recommend trip.

A great welcome from our guide Thomas who really amused us with in addition really full of interesting details.a Venice seen differently. I, who am not very good at English, understood our guide quite easily who speaks very well and gently enough I find

Tomaso was simply brilliant and the tour to the different islands when the sun sets was a highlight of our Venice trip

It was a very pleasant round tour through the lagoon of Venice, past the natural uninhabited islands to Burano and then back via Murano to Venice. The setting sun led to a wonderful evening mood on this cloudless day.

Had a wonderful tour with Gabriela. Thank you for the many beautiful impressions from the island of Murano!

Already on the boat trip by taxi to Murano, our guide Giovanna explained a lot of interesting things about Venice and the origin of the glass manufactories. The private tour of the glass factory was very impressive and informative. Due to the special Corona situation, the four of us were the only guests, which meant that we were looked after extremely courteously and personally. The subsequent stroll with Giovanna through Murano with a visit to two churches in which pictures by old masters were hidden on the walls, the onset of flooding due to the tide and the many stories that Giovanna knew to tell us about Murano and Venice rounded off our private tour away. A very successful trip!

Fantastic tour with Giovanna, an extremely nice, hard-working Venetian woman who speaks perfect German. Very well organised, extensive and interesting information about Murano and the history of this small island. Lots of new impressions and, above all, good memories. Absolutely great and highly recommended! We (Nina and Jürgen) say thank you dear Giovanna

Just perfect 👌 We had a wonderful time. Our guide was exceptional 👏 I recommend 100%

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

Our guide David was exceptional. So many interesting pieces of history, personal stories and insights. It was like spending the day with a local friend.

Annamaria gave us wonderful insights into Murano. Very exciting, informative and personal. Thanks very much!

Outstanding visit. The guide Giovanna made us feel at home, prepared and professional. The whole visit is an unmissable emotion to give to yourself and your family. Exceeded our expectations

We chose a private tour with a guide to the island of Murano, and it was a very pleasant experience, a far cry from group tours. Our guide took the time to tell us about the history of Venice and we visited places far from the tourist crowds. We stayed in Venice for four days, and this outing was by far the best. Grazie mille!

we had a guide keen on history and we were only two people so privileged visit, on the other hand a little light content: a demo in a single glassware (where we spent most of the time visiting the store with the seller on our heels) + visit to the basilica, the rest of the island is apparently not planned in the program (too bad!) .. but very helpful guide in any case (to help us find the right shuttle boat to leave )

Beautiful experience! They have fully adapted to our needs. The guide, exceptional !!!

What a wonderful day with our guide in Murano. We loved the tour of the glass factory and a walk to the amazing church in the island. It was a perfect way to spend the day.

Venice traffic jam with Gondolers competing for space. Short ride, crowded and bumpy with all the traffic on the Grand Highway. Horribly expensive for a less than 30 minute ride.

Must have experience when in Venice! Short and sweet 30 mins ride just for the experience

Our Gondolier was very nice and guided us with the very interesting information he gave us about the canals and the splendid buildings around.

Everything went well, quick 30min ride but the gondolas are sublime, I recommend! We arrived a little early and were picked up directly, thank you

He could have spoken to us more than twice. He was on his phone most of the time but we still enjoyed the gondola ride. Thank you

An evening Gondola ride is a must do in Venice. It was fabulous to appreciate the grandeur of the Grand Canal and then slip down the quieter canals under the stars. Our Gondalier was fabulous telling us stories and pointing out things we may have missed.

We were early and they happily accommodated us. Everyone was very helpful and kind. Nice trip!

A warm welcome, a romantic moment and guaranteed relaxation! Time stands still for a few minutes with some pretty discoveries!

It was an amazing tour with many interisting information about Venice given by the gondoliere. Thanks so much.

The weather was not the best but nothing was fully explained to us… a silent gondola ride!

Loved it! Good ride and our gondolier provided some historical facts while on gondola!

It was fun! He gave good explanations and the gondolier was very good at sailing. A fun way to see Venice from a different angle.

Way to easy to pick-up the tickets and use them… truly it was the best way to transport in Venice, and I would use and recommend it again

This was easy to book and use and meant that we could skip the queues for the ticket office. It was also cheaper than buying the tickets on the day. Would recommend using.

Great price for parking and trip to & from Venice. Boat was very full so a little crammed in (and 37 degrees so not ideal!) Would be better to have clearer info on which toilets you can use - but there are some 5 mins from the booking office. Would definitely use again if going to Venice.

Paying a single cost and knowing you would have unlimited use provided peace of mind for a first time solo traveller to Venice.

The water bus was easy to find and using the tickets pre booked was better than trying to work out the machine. As long as u know where u r going and where u have to get off it’s fine.

The tickets are easy to redeem. You will get a redemption code after order confirmation. Just head to the yellow ticket machine at every ferry station and insert the redemption code and you will get the ticket right away

Seemed to be really lucky , never waited very long. Once I got my head around the system, it’s easy to find where you are going.occasionally the boat was packed but always got on.

Easy to activate and easy to use to get around in Venice, we even used it to go to Burano for the day.

A great way to get around although if seated the windows are filthy so you can’t enjoy the views.

The waterbus and mainland bus pass made our travel in and around Venice extremely easy. Plan your activities to make the most of the card once you have activated it.

It was a great help as I am partially disabled and use two sticks to get around. Walking the length and breadth of Venice and enjoying the city would have been impossible without the pass.

They can use more water buses, especially near the train station. We had to wait a long time and when we did get on one it was so crowded we could barely get off at our stop. You need to pay attention because they don't always announce the stops and when they do stop, it is not for a very long time.

Very good value for money. You get around 30 minutes on the gondola and go through the side streets and then into the main canal.

Really enjoyed my gondola ride, was easy to get to and went very well

Very well organised. Our guide was there to show us onto the Gondala. We had an 1/2 hour ride which was amazing as we travelled through narrow canals and under a number of bridges. Would certainly take the same trip again!

A must visit if you're touring Italy. you will not be dissappointed..although a bit crowded but worth the visit. It's a long walk so make sure your hotel is conveniently located within the cetner.

A worker from the company was waiting for us at the meeting point and kindly accompanied us to the starting point of the gondola ride. We shared it with a couple, in total we were 5 people. We liked it so much that we decided to take a second gondola ride. Venice is beautiful, spectacular from the Grand Canal.

An entertaining gondola ride very quiet and relaxing. The 30 minutes fly by.

Lovely ride on a beautiful boat in a beautiful city shame that the gondala man talked the whole time on his mobile phone it just seemed like yer get in my boat then get next sad as with out tourists they would have no income

Excellent organization and then the culmination of a small dream, in a gondola for the wonderful Venice.

A good option for anyone who doesn't want to spend 80 euros on a gondola ride.

Defo worth the money. Lovely people too. A lot cheaper to book before that when you get there. We saved over 100£ x

Very enjoyable gondola ride through narrow canals. This is a very popular activity and the whole area was full of queuing visitors and gondolas. Only 5 or 6 people per boat, but sharing with strangers in such a cramped area can be uncomfortable.

very good but the gondolier spent his time on the phone while others sang

It felt like stepping into a dream. A must-do for first-time visitors!

Beautiful ride, though I wish the gondolier shared a bit more history.

Tomaso was a great tour guide, sailing through the canals of Venice was a once in a lifetime experience. Not cheap but I would definitely recommend everyone do it Amazing!!

Loved the smaller canals — so quiet and charming! Perfect for photos.

Absolutely magical! The reflections on the Grand Canal at sunset were unforgettable.

We had a delightful ride with Diario. He was so proud of his family’s legacy and we were excited to hear the details of his fathers work. We rode in his family’s 32 year old gondola and he even pointed out his fathers home. It was fun to hear the gondoliers banter while riding the canal. It’s a very quick ride under the bridge of sighs and back again. Time flies when you’re having fun!

A lovely 30-minute escape from the crowds. Highly recommend for couples!

The walk was very nice. We liked that it was through small channels, because it is quieter. Our very friendly guide and he was talking about the environment at all times. We liked it a lot . We recommend it

I’ve traveled a lot, but never really used a guided tour like this one. What an amazing experience Anthony provided for us! Engaging stories, excellent driving, extreme patience, and outstanding wit made our tour an easy way to experience the Scottish Highlands in just a few days. The trip was well-planned in the number, type, and activities available at each site. Loads of fun and even great back up plans when traffic issues required a detour on the third day. Highly recommended!

Private 30-minutes gondola ride was fantastic. Such a magical way to see Venice!

We passed by the Peggy Guggenheim Collection — amazing to see from the water!

We had a very enjoyable gondola ride (one and only as newlyWeds) with our guide. Luckily the weather was perfect and the guide told us interesting facts about the different historically significant buildings along the canal as we passed them. The trip felt like the perfect amount of time for a short afternoon activity after we toured the Basilica and Palace all morning.

A must-do in Venice. The movements of the gondola on the water are so calming.

bit expensive for the time you get but it has to be done when in Venice! was a lovely experience all in all

The phenomenal treatment, giving explanations of the most relevant Palaces, coll no or la fenice.

We arrived late due to traffic and they let us ride 2 hours late.

We booked a private Gondola which departed at St Mark's square. We arrived, queued a few minutes at the ticket desk andvthen went straight onto our gondola. Venice was really busy and I'm glad we prebooked as all other gondolas were sold out! There were others in Venice, nearer the station, however they went down the unknown little side canals, whereas we wanted to see the sights around St Mark's square. It was an unforgettable, albeit expensive, experience!

This ride made me feel like a true Venetian noble. Absolutely magical!

It was enjoyable, though quite short for the price. Still, a classic Venice experience.

A gondola ride when in Venice is a MUST....everyone knows that. Our gondolier,Massimo, was very knowledgeable gave us all sort of info,the ride lasted 5 min. longer,which was nice,overall 10/10

Our gondola ride was perfetto! Primarily due to the excellent service and information we received from our gondolier!!

It’s not worth it to pay online, you find loads of gondoliers that are free to take you on the spot. We paid more than £100 for an evening ride and after we booked it we were walking and as the gondoliers are trying to attract you, we found one and his price was 80€ on the board but he said he can make a 20€ discount cause that was his last ride. That would have been half of what we paid online, but I couldn’t cancel anymore the reservation unfortunately…

It felt special and personal. Seeing the city from the water gave it a whole new perspective.

A beautiful and peaceful experience — gliding past the old palaces felt like stepping into a painting.

The tour was great. the equipment sometimes didn't work for the guide but she fixed in seconds. well done Valentina. very informative fun tour. loved learning about casanova and seeing where he was born.

The tour was a fantastic way to get off the beaten track. My children really enjoyed it also.

Passionate and exciting guide Beautiful discoveries very long walk between the bridges and canals So many stories and History Nice gondola in the calm of the small passages Excellent value for money do not hesitate

The tour was very informative, but the weather was not great and the Rialto Bridge was mentioned but not visited

we had a really well informed and friendly guide and she took us to a lot of the main sites as well as many off the main routes. there were about 20 of us - 60% English speaking, 40% Italian but that didn't cause us any problems. Definitely a good activity

I discovered part of Venice thanks to my guide Valentina. I appreciated.

Our guide was excellent The only suggestion for improvement would be to have groups who all spoke the same language. The fact that half of the tour was in a language each group didn’t speak effectively meant that half the commentary was not relevant Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed the walk Thank you

The tour was bilingual (German/French). But our guide solved that well. We saw corners that we would never have found otherwise. Time was a bit short because some participants had booked a gondola ride afterwards. Overall recommended.

Rosalina was a great guide for our Venice tour. She shared so much knowledge and interesting insights about Venice, Venetian culture, and history making the tour very engaging. We also appreciated her recommendations for restaurants and cafes. Our gondolier was also very good - amazing skills he has to keep us within an inch from the canal walls without the gondola touching them. He also sang! This was the quintessential Venice experience without the price tag of a private tour.

Guide addressed additional questions. The tour was very informative.

It was an interesting tour of venice off the beaten track and Valentina was a very good guide who clearly loves her home city of Venice. she gave us some interesting insights

Góndola tour was ok except fife the guide that didn’t have a umbrella or stick to see were she was. Too many people around in carnival. Ease to get lostAs

Experience to be recommended for those who want to wander around the city and learn many curiosities at the same time thanks to the presence of a guide. Right price/quality experience! Very kind and cordial. The only flaw: I booked the tour in Italian and during the tour the guide explained things in two languages: Italian/English. A lot of time is wasted that could be invested in more exhaustive questions or explanations.

Day 1 in the morning is great to get a first impression of the city.

The tour was great! We walked (a lot!) and explored many roads, pontes and campos. The guide explained the History of the city and also the History behind the Monuments. We had almost 2 hours break before the gondola ride, and that was not expected. By the time we Started the gôndola ride, it was already very dark.

An essential visit to discover in 2h30 the main sites of Saint Mark's Square, and the architectural richness of the Cannaregio and Castello districts. A wealth of information to start your stay well before discovering for yourself!

We really enjoyed the 1 1/2 hour walking tour around Venice. Our guide was easy to understand (English speaking) and we saw and learned about places and architecture that we would have missed on our own. The starting point was St. Mark's Square so we hit all the highlights and more. Would definitely recommend.

Very interesting visit focusing on life in Venice, around the St-Marc district, with a dynamic and friendly guide, speaking very good French, knowing her subject perfectly and eager to draw the attention of tourists to the particularities that characterize the city and the life of the Venetians, in particular on the management of high tides, the architecture, the maintenance and the renovation of the buildings, the problems which the city must face, etc… We were 6 people for the visit in French this morning of September 25. To recommend.

Excellent guide, very clear explanations, about the streets and how to guide yourself by looking at the indications, it was very useful for the rest of the trip. The communication with the headphones allowed those of us who wanted photos to stay a little behind without losing detail of the information.

Long walk, lots of information. But OK. The gondola ride was also better than expected. There were 4 of us. We as a couple and two strangers with us. It was OK.

Great walking tour. Only bad point was that the meeting point was wrong in the voucher and we had to make several phone calls to meet the guide. The meeting point was given for large groups and not for small, private groups. They meet at the Venice Tours office. As compensation, the tour went much longer than the planned 2 hours.

Bcp liked we were only 5. Franscesco the guide was very interesting and nice. The tour is English. A QR code giving access to an app is given for comments in French. We did not use the app for the visit but for the rest of the stay because you have explanations of the main monuments of Venice including those that we do not see during the tour.

A very good experience to discover places less frequented by tourists, and their history, thanks to a captivating guide.

The city guide was a very personable person. Unfortunately, the wrong location was sent to me as a meeting point. This initially led to some confusion, but then cleared up. The tour shows the diversity of the city, you meander through small alleys and stand in a square again. In terms of art history, the tour could have been a little more well-founded. But a successful afternoon that left a very nice impression of Venice.

Everything went well from departure to return and our guide was great. A very good guide who has a very good command of the history of these islands and who manages to switch between English, French and Italian. He was great, we loved our excursion.

Really nice excursion to visit Murano and Burano ! The guide Andreas is perfect, he can speak lots of languages. Really practical to be able to board and get off at Santa Lucia or Saint Marco. We also visited Torcello, but I think it isn't worth the detour. The time we could spend in Murano and Burano was not enough, it would be better to skip Torcello and lenghten the time in Murano and Burano. Burano is the best spot for gorgeous photos!

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.

it was perfect! the times on each island were sufficient. only downside, the guide on the way back was not the same...very strange way of speaking and we didn't understand anything. the 3 islands are superb with a favorite for Burano and its colors! You have to climb to the top of the Torcello campanile, the view is magnificent

A bit difficult to find the tour manager as several groups from different tour operators were at the same dock at the same time...

It's definitely a trip to do. But be on time or 15 mins early at every point! We looked at doing the half day trip but glad we didn't as we got much more time in Burano for a chilled lunch and walk along the island. There wasn't much to do in Torcello, but it does have history, and you can climb the church.

Was a beautiful trip! Well worth the money! 3 beautiful islands and a great host who spoke I think up to 5-6 languages! Murano glass experience was amazing! Little tip! Walk out of the shop at the end of the tour and go to the local’s shops, literally 2/3 of what the factory tour is charging! Burano is beautiful! Make sure to visit Bepi’s house and try their biscuits. Torcello is so peaceful and pretty! Also the bell tower you can climb for €5 each! We didn’t realise that until we got there! The sights were gorgeous!

The tour was a lot of fun, our guide Julia was well versed and really gave us a lot of information and backstory of the locations we visited. The island were absolutely beautiful and the ride to each place was really comfortable too. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend to everyone that thinks of doing this tour!

Very worthwhile trip. Small exhibit at the glass blowing factory on Murano and then around an hour on the island. then to Burano where you have 2 hours to explore (get lunch at this point) and this is a perfect amount of time to see the island and it's beautiful colours. Next to Torcello you get around an hour or so, again a perfect amount of time. It isn't massively clear to understand the points of interest that they point out on the boat. For the money you spend it is definitely worthwhile!

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.

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.

Torcello seemed like a waste of time, the other 2 islands were gorgeous. The boat ride was beautiful.

The time in the gondola is quite short, it's a shame and our gondolier didn't have the typical outfit but the ride is nice. In addition, the initial visit in the streets of Venice with the guide and the experience with the virtual reality headset was rather nice

It was amazing. I was searching gondola for good price and this was perfect.

We really enjoyed our gondola ride, the scenery, music and experience was amazing. a once in a life time opportunity. Our tour started with a walking tour of the city, then straight to our gondola ride. the gondaleers were amazing helping us into and out of the ride. we had some seniors with us, so it was really helpful. the love commentary was very helpful and informative. We enjoyed that very much. At the end of our tour, our tour guide gave us an option for a virtual tour of the city in the past. it was amazing, we would do that again and it was free (included in our price).

Very good for the price it is, opposite of maybe the 100€ that ask you the private gongoliers, here you get probably the same experience for not even half the price. Plus in the end you get VR tour of how was Venice back in the days for free, so what can you ask more for? I definitely recommend this tour.

My husband and I were not side by side and he did the whole route with his back to the step.

The gondola right was just perfect. Not too short, not too long, just right. The view in the Grand Canal is superb, and the narrow canals that the ride takes you through is quiet and calm. It was off season so not crowded, and the price was great. I booked last minute because wasn't sure of the weather, it had been raining all morning, but the weather held up and we had a super ride.

Beatrice was an amazing guide! She was very knowledgeable of the history of Venice and is very passionate about the city.

Michael the gondolier was amazing. Lots of knowledge and friendly.

The walking Tour with Rosela was amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable! Very detailed and kindly answered all our questions. Knowing the history of the city helps to enjoy it more as a tourist. Rosela was phenomenal! She spoke English. Definitely do the walking tour!

Was a great experience, the walking tour and the bookshop was a great extra in the experience! 100% recommend!

The only negative note is that the docking area to get off the gondolas is not suitable and absolutely needs to be improved.

Guide was great, spoke very good english and answered mine and the groups questions. learned a lot about Venice I was not aware of. Gondola ride was peaceful and relaxing. Different view of Venice and would recommend this tour

We like that it is off the beaten path. We went to the quiet part of Venice. We truly enjoyed the old buildings. Our gondolier expertly maneuvered the gondola. He shared little stories along the way. We did not expect him to do but we greatly appreciate it. He was very courteous and considerate. Unfortunately, we cant remember his name.

It was my dream and it didn’t disappoint! Jake was a great gondolier and chatted all the way! I paid for an hour and we did a mix of both the grand canal and the more peaceful canals which was brilliant! The weather was awful in the morning and they kindly delayed until the afternoon where it was beautiful sunshine! A truly memorable time on my birthday!

We didn't really sail in the small streets. Only between the taxi boats. There wasn't much to see on the route. In short, too much money for what it was. The only positive was the experience and a friendly man.

Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about Venice! An amazing private gondola ride! I wish it was 45-60 minutes for the price but overall we will only do this once and it was a great time.

Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about Venice! An amazing private gondola ride! I wish it was 45-60 minutes for the price but overall we will only do this once and it was a great time.

The gondola tour was good and nice to be in the quieter canals on the island. Boat was nice and guide was welcoming but didn’t tell us anything about the island while on the tour

Unfortunately we couldn’t hear the lovely guide whilst we were travelling back down the Grand Canal…the reception was poor…but it didn’t spoil our overall enjoyment of the tour….and the guide was a joy.

Guide was good and friendly did an informative talk Gondola was lovely and enjoyable

I loved the 15min commentary prior to the ride and wish that was longer. The boats seated 4 so we were with another couple. The Gondolier smiled when he saw us taking selfies that he was in the background on, so cute! Great value for the money

A very nice moment! Our gondolier was very kind and told us about the major buildings and other interesting things. A unique experience!

Francesca Gin was an excellent guide, she was very experienced and told us everything we needed to know about Venice. Definitely recommended! This is a must do when you’re here in Venice!

Gondola ride was very relaxing - could have travelled in it all day!

Everything was fine. The guide was super friendly and the experience was wonderful.

A nice well rounded hour. we started with a mini walking tour, enjoyed the gondola, then had a VR experience on the history of Venice which was cool. Beatrice was great, very friendly and smiley.

Gondola ride was very relaxing - could have travelled in it all day!

The guide was excellent. He gave us lots of information about the history of Venice. My only gripe would be to say he walked very fast and some people struggled to keep up with his. Perhaps this needs to be taken into account. The Gondola ride was beautiful. Very relaxing but it could have been even better had the Gondolier even so much as made eye contact with us. Had he been just a little bit cordial we would have given him a tip. That is not the fault of the guide or the tour company so overall this was a good activity

Really interesting well organised and well informed tour guides i massively recommend if you’re new to venice

Nice relaxing gondola.ride, the when.process was very smooth, even my teenagers enjoyed it.

We had a wonderful time visiting both islands! The guides were very knowledgeable, helpful, and responsible. Definitely recommend this tour.

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

Excellent, such a good day out. Luigi was fabulous, would highly recommend this trip.

We loved our Murano/Burano tour. This was a unique experience. From the boat ride, to the glass blowing and lace-making demonstrations, to tasting the traditional Burano biscuits, it packed a lot of great experiences into one tour. Our tour guide, Marta, was wonderful! She was friendly, enthusiastic, and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Venice, the islands, and the lagoon. Thank you Marta!! We also had a skilled boat captain who did a great job of navigating the low tides. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Had an amazing tour! Our guide had so many little stories about the islands as we were driving out, highly recommended to anyone heading to Venice

We loved it, the guide was really nice and had a lot of knowledge about everything.

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

Enjoyed all of it! Everyone was wonderful from the ladies at the meeting point to Claudia our guide. A fabulous trip

The guide was lovely, informative and entertaining. It would be nice to have time to explore Murano but it was a great experience. The boat was fun

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

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

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

It was a great way to see the culture and history of Venice and the surrounding islands. The glass demo was interesting and a must . The coloured houses in Burano are eye-catching and the story behind them light hearted. With quaint restaurants, for a light bite and a glass of wine. Spent approximately an hour and half at each location.

The guide was amazing and narrated everything in 5 languages all day! The weather was not great--rainy and cold--but that could not be helped. I understand that we were trying to take in a lot of sights in one day, but it did at times feel very rushed.

We walked along the narrow streets and admired the work of the craftswomen who create lace products. We spent more time on the island of Burano enjoying its charm.

The educational visit on the manual processing of glass in artisan ovens is interesting. But I don't understand why the shop is induced in internal shops with very high prices, even in the shops in the internal square of the town. The paradox is that in the bazaars along the route to Venice in the Rialto bridge area, the prices of Murano glasses, identical to those we bought on the island, are 3 euros lower per piece. One out of five would come free. What a disappointment!!! Interessante la visita didattica sulla lavorazione manuale del vetro nei forni artigianali. Però non capisco perché viene indotto lo shop in negozi interni con dei prezzi altissimi, anche nelle botteghe della piazza interna del paese. Il paradosso è che nei bazar lungo il percorso di arrivo a Venezia zona ponte Rialto , i prezzi dei bicchieri di Murano, identici a quelli che abbiamo comprato sull'isola, sono inferiori di 3 euro a pezzo. Ne sarebbe venuto uno gratis su cinque. Che delusione!!!

The first 2 islands were very nice, the last one was not much (a church on an island) There were also people who did the 2 islands tour, I would recommend that to people. A visit to the glass museum is an absolute must as far as I am concerned, but I have not seen a tour in a glass factory (they must mean the museum, but you can visit it at your own expense and opportunity)

The best €25 I ever spent! Amazing day trip to 3 gorgeous little villages! Perfect amount of free time in each place, the day flies in! Like other people have said, don't buy anything in the glass factory, things are much cheaper in the shops. Really nice big boat, with an option to sit inside or outside.

It was a great tour. Wonderful value for money experience. Very well organized the information shared by the guide was very interesting, the time allowed in each town was more than enough

Very nice demonstration at Murano glass factory , but that's it, no factory tour, only the shop. Beautiful experience exploring Burano. Rather sad at depopulated Torcello Island.

Perfect tour for us .. the right combination of guided information and free time. Highlight was Burano, would go back to explore more.

The excursion to the lagoon gave us the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello. The boat ride through nature was breathtaking, and a stop on the island of Murano allowed us to see the glass making process and learn about the art of glassblowing.

The information given by the multilingual guide was clear and interesting to know. The islands are a must see, Burano being the most picturesque with its brightly colored houses. The boat ride is comfortable. The free time granted on site allows you to wander the alleys while admiring the very nicely stocked local shops.

Really nice excursion to visit Murano and Burano ! The guide Andreas is perfect, he can speak lots of languages. Really practical to be able to board and get off at Santa Lucia or Saint Marco. We also visited Torcello, but I think it isn't worth the detour. The time we could spend in Murano and Burano was not enough, it would be better to skip Torcello and lengthen the time in Murano and Burano. Burano is the best spot for gorgeous photos !

Definitely worth doing this tour, easy to find meeting point, engaging and helpful guides. The tour itself was funny and ìnteresting. Lots of great nuggets of information which were genuinely interesting. The gondola ride wasn't very long but still enjoyable.

Was a nice tour, but only a short distance across the Grand Canal, then turned into smaller alleys

I liked it a lot, I was a little afraid when the sea was more open, but it all worked out lol

The gondola ride in Venice is not an activity, but an experience. A beautiful memory that you will always carry with you.

On the other hand too tight, we couldn't take pictures, too bad otherwise nice activity but the gondoliers were shouting at each other. For 120 euros it's a bit of a shame.

Such a great experience and a really cost effective way to experience a gondola trip, highly recommend

The journey was with strangers, as expected less than 30 minutes and mass processing

We chose not to take the audioguide just to enjoy the gondola ride better. And although we booked a tour in English we we're put in a French speaking group so we didn't understand a word of the tour on ground. So just in case take the audioguide! The gondola ride itself was lovely, definately worth the money .

If you want a quick gondola ride and nothing else, this is the right one. Takes a little turn into the canals (not under the Rialto Bridge). 30 minutes and then it's done but that's what I wanted. Cheaper to buy on getyourride than on site depending on the currency so it was good.

The gondolier was an incredible man, a real pleasure to have been able to enjoy Venice with him.

A great way to discover Venice. Of course, the beautiful things are always too short. Depending on the provider, you'll take different roads.

Punctual service, there were four of us and we all got on the same gondola. The gondolier didn't say anything, but in fact it wasn't expected, since it wasn't a private tour with explanation. Overall pleasant.

it's a very well run business. the crew onboard are extremely helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this company for your boat trip to Murano and Burano. grazie mille!

Really well organised and Nicole’s commentary was great on the boat. The glass blowing demonstration was amazing and definitely recommend doing it. Lovely half day trip overall.

A pleasant activity that allows us to appreciate the islands of Murano and Burano in a short time.

Tour guide was very good speaking English, Italian, French, Spanish and German! Burano and Murano bath very beautiful

very pleasant stroll. visit of murano and burano to do. We were amazed with all these colors.

It felt very organized and we enjoyed that aspect of it. We found the tour informative and thoroughly impressed with the guides handle on multiple languages. We did not know what to expect for the islands but really enjoyed them and the time allotted at each location, especially with the warm weather . We had expected to be dropped back off at a sorting point so we were surprised to be dropped off at St Mark's and have to figure out our way back to our starting location. Once the boat docked,we had intended to tip the guide and get some instructions from her, but she was the first to get off the boat and took off right away.

Beautiful islands, the guide told us so many things on the way! Excellent

Beautiful experience, Loe our guide was cute in explaining the various things to know and advising us on a cute postman where we could have lunch! The only flaw, a little time to visit the islands!

The tour was in French Italian and English. not a word! although quite a lot of German were on board. Murano is nice but more of an outlet. Burano definitely worth a trip

Great discovery of the San Marco district and the Doge's Palace with a very friendly and fun guide.

Very good excursion, it is not very long, fantastic to do more things in the day. Very punctual and well explained!

beautiful ride to Murano and Burano, it's worth visiting, very detailed guide in the explanations, very beautiful places

Great guide and the islands of Murano and Burano were magnificent!

Beautiful day ! We were welcomed at the point established by mr. Manola, an exquisite person, prepared and extremely available, who accompanied us throughout the tour. First stop on the island of Murano: visit to the glass factory. Mr. Fabio, very kind, explained to us step by step the demonstration of a master glassmaker who created three beautiful objects for us. After a pleasant walk on the island we took the boat and went to Burano Manola, our super guide, made us visit the island by telling us and showing us a lot of interesting things After circumnavigating the island of Torcello (we chose not to go down) we returned to Venice enjoying the spectacle of the setting sun Beautiful, well organized, highly recommended experience, which we will definitely do again! a special thanks to Manola who made our trip special !!

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 !!

Very nice private tour away from the hustle and bustle of the main part of Venice.

We liked the tour alot. The weather was great Our guide Martina was outstanding and gracious!

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.

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.

Our guide Katy was absolutely amazing. She was gracious and knowledge. She made every stop feel special.

Good activity but free time on site too short, you spend more time on the boat than on the islands. The guide only speaks English.

We loved that day, Flavia was wonderful, she gave a lot of information clearly and always in a good mood! We were very well received on both islands and it is worth seeing how they work glass in Murano, it is incredible. The island of Burano is so beautiful, it looks like a postcard. We highly recommend taking this tour if you are visiting Venice.

Claudia was an amazing tour guide. It was amazing seeing the glass and lace making in person. It is a definitely must do when in Venice.

Francesca was a great guide. Perfect amount of explanation and free time.

It was truly a great time. Our guide Francesca was very friendly, attentive, and offered clear and interesting explanations! The discovery moments were a wonderful cultural experience, and the islands were very beautiful. A big thank you to Francesca and our boat captain!

Lovely guide Gaia provided useful insights. Time on the islands was indeed a bit short.

Our guide, Elena, was outstanding and accommodating in every way! We learned so much and enjoyed all she shared with us!

We had some trouble getting to the location because we didn't know we had to take a taxi from outside of Venice which made us late. Ultimately, it was our fault for not doing more research, but we would have appreciated a bigger heads up in the directions for those who were not already in that area of Venice. Otherwise, it was a great time and we enjoyed ourselves!!

This worked well for me as a solo traveller as the usual prices meant it wouldn't have been an option for me on my own. Bit of a guided tour on the way to the Gondola ride which was quite serene once we were on our way. A bit of waiting around so you need to allow a couple of hours taking everything into consideration. The gallery at the end was well worth staying for, you really felt that you were there and had gone back in time with the 3D experience.

We signed up for a gondola tour. Did not realize there would be another brief tour as we walked to the gondola docks. That was ok, but our primarty reason was to take a gondola ride. We enjoyed the gondola ride, however there was no interaction with the gondolier. Personally was not looking to be entertained by him or have an extensive conversation, but not even a welcome, hello or thank you.

This was an amazing experience with a group of friends.Its a must when your visiting venice and great photo opportunities when on the gondola boat.

The Gondola ride was a unique way to see the city. They were very kind and accommodating. We will definitely do this again on our next trip to Venice.

Lovely ride, we had a good time. Marta Boccato was great guide. We were also lucky with the weather.

Great experience. The gondolier was very knowledgeable and friendly Wish I had more time for a longer excursion.

Experiencing Venice from a different perspective, from the canals, was a must do! Emma our guide gave us some extra info about Venice and the history of Gondolas, which was really interesting. Ending with a VR tour taking you back to the 15th century was quite entertaining.

Great short walking tour, followed up with a scenic gondola ride and then a tour into yesteryear with virtual reality goggles.

It was amazing, magical. Beatrice Da Ros was our guide, she was very sweet & explained everything and walked us through the streets of Venice. I highly recommend it to everyone.

The gondola ride, coupled with the expertise of the tour guide, brought the waterways and architecture to life!

Got's to do yes or yes super nice experience relaxing great view from the Grand Canal... Wife loved it
