Burano Tours

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

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.

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 !!

It was a unique experience! The guide on board the boat told us several interesting things about Venice and the islands, he was very kind and helpful. The islands are wonderful, we witnessed a beautiful demonstration of glass and lace, truly spectacular! We recommend this beautiful boat trip to everyone, excellent value for money!

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.

Awesome ship, excellent friendly staff, food looked great although bit too much for our taste, we not really “foodies” so didn’t like a lot of it. Everyone else did though so wasn’t a reflection of the menu, just be prepared for a rather exquisite 9 course experience. We couldn’t book on deck as was full so settled for cheaper option in the front of the boat, wouldn’t recommend it if you get motion sickness like me and can’t stomach travelling backwards. Although you can go outside and sit up top anytime so that helped. All in all would recommend, definitely a one off experience, fish or meat menu options when booking. Book early though as gets full quick !!!!

At the beginning everything was ok: the guide, the transportation to Murano. But the visit on the island was too long: exept the factory there is nothing to do there! It's just touristic. Burano is more beautyful. And you can visit more things there, so here the visit was a bit too short! Then we went back to San Marco at about 3. Our guide was'nt there anymore? and we had to manage on our own to find a person who told us we had to wait till 5.30 to have a boat to our starting point??? We had to wait too long! So we went back on foot. It isn't normal. The distribution of time for this activity is not good: too much time in Murano, to little time in Burano and more than 2 hours to wait at San Marco. Don't forget most of the people had already visit San Marco!

Tour guides were informative and spoke many languages! The tour itself is a little underwhelming as (while VERY beautiful) Burano is quite dull. The glass blowing demonstration was great and some gorgeous artwork. Still a very good experience for the price.
