Piazza San Marco Tours

We enjoyed Morano but particularly Borano as I could have stay there for a whole day. As others have said, if only we did not have to stop at Torano. Transport was good, but again as others said that the PA was difficult to understand at times. My husband, who can speak Italian, noticed that there was more information given in Italian than in English.

Valentina was our tour guide and she was very knowledgeable. It was evident she loves Venice and you could feel her enthusiasm! She was also very patient with our group as there was flooding and it took a while to walk on the platforms to the Basilica.

Top visit. On the other hand, our meeting place was wrong. We almost missed our visit because the meeting place was wrong! This is not acceptable for a service of this price. The data is not up to date on the site. Fortunately the person who was in the wrong place indicated was kind enough to point us to the right place. We arrived just in time after a race through the streets of Venice. Tomorrow we have another visit but I no longer trust the address given for departure!

The boat trip was fabulous but there was no assistance/ follow through once you boarded the boat. No sign of anyone using the audio guide which I attempted several times to access but without success. Also the promise of a glass factory tour at Murano, included in the ticket, did not transpire. Felt there should have been further information at destination, and the audio guide should be made more simple to find and use. So in summary, go for the transport but don't expect the extras they promise.

The tour was excellent and very well thought out. It's all because of the very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. She had a great command over the language, it was easy to get through what she was explaining and she was very personable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Venice. 5 stars

It was interesting to visit the islands surrounding Venice. Each island was different in terms of beauty and were all aesthetically pleasing. In murano the main attraction was the glass factory other than that there wasn’t much there. Torcello was more historical but smaller. Burano was the busiest of the three with many restaurants and beautiful scenery. You were allocated about 60 minutes to see each island before your boat left to get to the next island.

The boat tour was absolutely worth the 20 euro. Yeah, you don't get to spend that much time on the islands, but what do you expect for 20 euro for 4 hours. On Murano you're brought straight from Steeg to a glass blowery and you can watch them make a vase and a horse. Then there's a little time left over to buy the glass pieces they've made. In Torcello you visit the church. In Burano you have about 40 minutes to view at least the main spot on the island. Overall this was a nice trip and the pricing was appropriate.

Was a top tour guide who brought the most important key points about Venice over well in the short time - and also places that you don't get to see otherwise - and it was an exciting tour. I can only recommend the guided tour in the morning, as there are still relatively few tourists around at this time.
