Murano Tours

Could not hear the tour guide at all. Voice was not loud and lower level could not hear her. Murano was all about buying Murano, which of course we did. There was nothing in Burano to see. Too a few pics and found a bar. Boat ride was fine and comfortable. Rather crowded.

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.

Our private tour of Venice was absolutely magical, thanks to our fantastic guide! Their passion for the city brought its rich history to life as they shared captivating stories around every corner. One of the highlights was discovering a hidden courtyard where we enjoyed delicious traditional cicchetti, paired with insightful commentary. The experience was tailored to our interests, taking us to charming spots we would never have found on our own. If you’re looking for an authentic and immersive experience in Venice, I highly recommend this tour! It turned a simple outing into a cherished memory that will last a lifetime.

The trip was well led, the glass blowing demonstration was really neat, and both islands are beautiful. We had about an hour on Murano (including the glass-blowing demonstration) and an hour and a half on Burano. I would switch that to spend more time on Murano. Otherwise, the trip was a lot of 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.

Highly recommend!! Very well organised, excellent service throughout and fabulous food and wines! We have been a couple of times now at different times of the year so slightly different menus! We've had the fish, meat and vegetarian menus. (you need to specify at booking if you want the meat menu or the vegetarian or it is automatically fish) The journey is smooth taking in lovely views of the lagoon and Venice. Very attentive service. We are looking forward to going again in April with our older children, who will love it!! Highly recommend and great value for money!! Thank you

I highly recommend this perfect trip to Murano and Burano. It was beautiful, informative, and a shopping extravaganza! I wish I had done the full day tour to spend more time! One negative was the meeting place!!! Give yourself extra time. 8 of us waited with no guide meeting us!

It was good. Our specific boat wasn’t too overcrowded so when we got to the glass factory there was plenty of room to see. The factory shop has some pretty hilarious pricing for products. Burano was beautiful. The tour itself was punctual. We had 30 mins free roaming in Murano and about 1 hour in Burano. For us it was enough time.

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 !

Nice tour, well organised. The longest break in Murano is excellent, perfect for having a leisurely lunch and then visiting the island. Burano is also very beautiful. The boat crew very kind and helpful. Well done

Georgia was an exceptional tour guide. Truly one of the most knowledgable tour guide we have ever had. Highly recommend a private tour! It is so personalized. Georgia truly showed and shared a part of Venice would never had seen. And We did an 8 hour tour and it truly encompassed so much.

The duration is perfect, we didn't get tired of the boat and there's enough time to visit and explore the islands. The check-in process was easy to find, was a very relaxing activity. I recommend it, Murano is the most famous for the crystal handcrafted goods, but Burano is prettier in my opinion and we liked most.

It was over 7 hours of entertainment, education and incredible views. Our guide (Giovani) was so knowledgeable about Venice. We learned so much. We are the local cuisine. We drank the local wine. We we saturated with culture, laughs and great food.

Our guide and the boat driver were very nice and knowledgeable. These 2 small and very charming cities, you should visit, a nice way to get away a little from the big crowd of Venice. Unfortunately 2 costumers from our tour found a way to get lost and made the whole group wait for 25’ inside the boat and reduced the time we could have had for a nicer lunch in Burano.

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.

It was very good. The guide was there to answer any question and made it easy for us to know what to look for and where in the islands. My only advice to tourists who are not very interested in historical places to take the Murano and Burano without Torcello tours. Torcello is beautiful, and has it's own valuable attractions but different than what you find in Murano and Burano and not that family friendly. All together, it was a wonderful experience and I admire the punctuality of the tour including the transportation.
