Murano Tours

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.

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.

The guide Andre was very knowledgeable and helpful. I would have liked it better if there were less number in the group. For the purpose of buying Venetian glass products, purchase them in Burano. I found more variety and less expensive options too. The boat ride is beautiful, make sure you watch the sunset.

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!

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 really enjoyed this tour. Valerio is a great host and I very much appreciated that he took us to places that gave us a feel for how people actually live on the islands. Seeing the garden in Mazzorbo was truly a breath of fresh air. It was also interesting to get the perspective of someone who actually lives on one of the islands.

Glass display was great. We enjoyed torcello too. It was quiet but charming. Burano by far the best. We were delivered in a chaotic way. Started at 2pm then had to change boats and joined us with a massive group. Didn't get going til 2.45. When stopping at burano they said they were going and someone would be back for us at 6. This was a little worrying. They turned up just to take us back and it felt like no connection with new people. Didn't get back til 7 so longer than expected. Great trip for price but ours felt chaotic.

Well organised host trip to Murano and Burano. Glassmaking demonstration was good. Not long on each island but enough to get a flavour and take lots of photos. Boat ride was interesting with information given by the guide. I think it was good value and would recommend as a half day trip which doesn’t eat into a short break in Venice too much. Loved the colourful houses on Burano which was the main reason for booking.

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!

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.

We had a great time watching the glassmaker create a horse before our eyes in Murano. And then we enjoyed watching the lacemaker lady do her part for a tablecloth, I believe. We learned it takes 7 different lacemakers to make the design for the cloth. It was fascinating! Burano is such a quaint beautiful town with lots of nice shops and restaurants. Our tour guide was very informative, too! The boat ride was in a covered boat and our tour guide shared more information about the smaller islands we passed.

Just nice, and we wanted to take an individual picture on the gondola but was told many others are waiting as we are still in the gondola before we leave. I was disappointed with it and the only picture we took for ourselves, like in a group or selfie, not an individual.

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

I was a nice experience and we saw a lot of interesting things.The only problem was that the program was a bit tight and we didn't have a lot of time in any of the islands to really enjoy them or even sit for a quick coffee. We were on the run the whole times. On top of that they combined 3 groups in one so the boat was a bit crowded and we didn't have a proper place to sit between the island hopping. (We sut on the stairs)

Friendly, competent, very knowledgeable, many thanks to our guide Claudia, who integrated our children (11 and 6 years) wonderfully. The transfers with the motor boats were also great! Highly recommended!

Boat on time and easy to find guide. View from boat to islands was beautiful and guide was very informative. The glass products (and demonstration) at Murano was mind blowing. Definitely buy there as it is cheaper than in Venice. Burano is also beautiful. Would have loved to spent more time there, but a wonderful trip to see the two islands.

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

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.

Georgia grew up in Murano and was an awesome guide! Pleasant and made us comfortable. Easy to chat with. We saw everything listed and got some interesting background information on many areas from her. The weather was perfect for the taxi boat ride up the Grand Canal and around the ""fish"" ☺️. We highly recommend this excursion! And lunch 🤩, pasta was yummy with wine, appetizers, coffee and dessert cookies. Thanks Georgia for a perfect introduction to your home city 🥰.

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
