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.

The tour guide and her assistant were excellent, couldn’t have been better. They programmed the tour to our desires, perfectly!! Very supportive informative and always at our fingertips. Everything about the tour was most marvellous💙💜 thank you.

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.

A short city tour before a gondola ride with excellent information from our guide ""Marta (Maria?)"". Really good jokes. Then we continued the gondola ride, which lasted about twenty minutes, and discovered Venice from a different angle. An unforgettable experience!

Our guide Tobia Navarro was excellent. Picked us up promptly at the hotel. He was very passionate about Venice and answered the many questions we had. Murano glass was amazing and we purchased some glass made by the master who was doing the demonstration. My husband was desperate to try green crabs but we couldn’t find a restaurant who did this dish. Tobia rang round some restaurants while we were on the glass tour. He found one on Burano and very kindly booked a table and reserved the dish for us After a very interesting visit to the lace making, and yet another purchase, we had the most fantastic meal and the crabs at Restaurant Galuppi. Our trip ran over its time but this was not an issue for Tobia. He was very laid back and an excellent guide. Private tour avoids the crowds.

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.

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 !!!!

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.

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.

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 tour was well organized and run on time. The glass blowing demo at Murano was good and impressive although it felt a bit short. We had lots of time for some shopping afterwards. We had to skip the visit to Burano due to some time limitations we had. overall it was a great experience.

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

Our tour guide, Flavia was a joy! She had great knowledge of Murano and Burano and even gave us great restaurant recommendations upon our return to Venice. The glass making demonstration in Murano was interesting to watch and the lace making in Burano was a unique glimpse at a dying art. We were able to make purchases of both Murano glass and lace. Burano is beautiful with its colorful houses. We had some free time in Burano for a gelato stop and bought some Venetian cookies. The boat ride was great as well. Overall great tour!!

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!

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!

A most enjoyable trip, on a lovely boat not to big, & our guide was brilliant told us lots of info about where we were going, told us lots of story's about people. Murano glass factory was delightful we saw a demo of how things were made, & going around the shop was magical. Burano was truly beautiful place & the cafe by the bridge overlooking the lagoon was stunning, lovely snacks & wine. On the way back going around the lagoon was very interesting, a truly lovely experience.
