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.

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.

I really enjoyed the tour, but as a minus I would have preferred a little more time, maybe on Murano and Burano, in particular. But we had enough time for a short tour and and some photos in every location. I would recommend this tour to everyone who want to catch a glimpse of these islands.

The boat, the menu, the service, the quality of the cooked dishes are perfect: it's not a tourist trap. Too bad that in the middle of the night you can't make out the outside except at the approaches to the more or less lit islands and the illuminated monuments.

practical organization, and very pleasant guides. The time given to Murano is more than enough, especially if you do not want to buy handcrafted glasses. on the other hand, the stop at Burano deserves 1 hour more to allow time to wander more.

It was a highly concentrated tour on the three (probably) most important islands of the Venetian Lagoon. Our guide Francesco went into many important details for all three islands in three different languages. I only wish we stayed more on Burano which was very picturesque!

Murano you can see how they work with glass, making different products which they sell in stores around the island. Very small Torcello, a path next to the canal that you enjoy until you reach the church. Burano a beautiful island, with its very colorful houses and more Tourist. You can see their star product that is made with lace. In this tour there is no specific guide; there was a person who spoke on the tour but he was not well understood due to the bad sound of the boat's microphone. IT ONLY LASTS 4 HOURS. On their page it says 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 hours

Very kind gondolier, very nice the 'manager' of the voucher acceptance. Having booked online I thought I would save some money and not spend 40 euros more. I hope that at least part of these 40 euros will remain with the gondolier and the 'manager' because they are truly extremely available

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.

This is a very easy, no stress trip. The price is very reasonable for the boat ride and the guided history tour in between the islands. We started from the S. L. train station, which allowed us to see quite a bit of the southern side of Venice as we looped around to the St Mark's pick up. We saw a quick glass-blowing demonstration in Murano and purchased several pieces of beautiful jewelry. After a light lunch in Torcello, we made our way to my most favorite island - Burano! Burano was so very charming, with the bright houses, the shops lining the waterways, and the shaded park near the vaparetto stop. Burano offers more than your usual kitschy tourist shops - local artisans there sell beautiful clothing and art that you won't find in Venice. Knowing what I know now, I'd probably skip Murano and Torcello, pack a lunch, and take a vaparetto to Burano and spend several hours there. The 50 minutes given to us was simply not enough time for what this village has to offer.

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.

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

Walking tour was excellent. Guide spoke very good English, and was enthusiastic and informative. Walking tour was approx 1 hr 15 minutes long and got to see and learn about things you would otherwise not know. Would definitely recommend this in addition to just the Gondola ride as the extra cost is quite small.

This was a lovely experience and i would definitely recommend it. Be aware when booking there are different parts of the boat some with views and some without which i hadn't realised. The food was good however as a vegetarian every one of the 5 courses was cheese including the dessert so a bit more variety would have been nice. Plentiful wine during the meal which was very enjoyable.

This was a fun walking tour of Venice. The streets can be like a maze, so it was helpful to have a guide. Our guide (I forget his name) was very funny and personable. Very dry sense of humor, which I loved. And the gondola tour is fun. It’s something that you kinda just have to do while in Venice.

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 !!!!
