Luxe tour van Murano & Burano per privéboot en gids
Beschrijving
De beste ervaring om meer te weten te komen over de oude kunst van de lagune-eilanden van Venetië: Murano en Burano. Met een privéboot vanuit Venetië, rechtstreeks naar de oudste originele Murano-glasfabriek, waar een meester-glasblazer en zijn team dagelijks aan het werk zijn, volgens de traditie van eeuwen geleden. Vanuit Murano, door de lagune over te steken, bereiken we het eiland Burano, beroemd om zijn kantwerk en de kleurrijke sfeer. Wandelen langs pittoreske huizen, genieten van de typische "bussolai" (beroemde koekjes van het eiland), je een bewoner voelen. Last but not least, een verhelderend geleid bezoek aan een historisch ambachtelijk kantatelier. Daarna per privéboot terug naar Venetië, voor een prachtig uitzicht op de lagune.

Georgia was outstanding! She was patient with our group and had amazing local knowledge.
Great tour guide made the experience nice for the family. Very accommodating. All very kid friendly and a nice day all around.
The guide was personable and spoke English well. He took us to two shops in each location, more to purchase expensive highly marked-up goods. Would have preferred a more varied experience.
Dear Jahangir, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and, above all, for the kind words you dedicated to our guide, Sebastiano. We are delighted to read that you found him personable, knowledgeable, and fluent in English, and that he made every effort to accommodate your requests by taking you to two different glass factories in Murano and two different lace ateliers in Burano. For this reason, we must admit that we were surprised to see a 3 star rating, especially since the main concern mentioned in your review relates to the prices of the products available for purchase inside the glass factory rather than to the quality of the tour itself or the service provided by Sebastiano. Based on your specific request to visit one of Murano’s most authentic historic furnaces and to experience genuine handmade Burano lace, we selected places that represent the highest level of traditional Venetian craftsmanship. Naturally, authentic Murano glass and hand-made Burano lace cannot be compared to mass-produced souvenirs or imitation products that can often be found elsewhere at much lower prices. Just as one would not visit a Gucci or Louis Vuitton boutique and expect prices comparable to those of imitation products sold elsewhere, authentic artisanal creations reflect the skill, heritage, and countless hours of work invested by the master craftsmen and artisans who create them. Our tour includes visits to one of the oldest glass factories in Murano and to the atelier of one of Burano’s historic lace making families, where these centuries old traditions are still preserved and practiced entirely by hand. While guests are always free to browse without making any purchases, we believe these visits offer a unique opportunity to witness authentic craftsmanship that is becoming increasingly rare. We also feel it is important to note that product pricing is determined entirely by the individual artisans and workshops and is unrelated to the guide’s service, which, according to your own comments, was highly appreciated. Nevertheless, we sincerely appreciate your feedback and thank you again for joining us. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you on another one of our tours in the future and providing you with another memorable experience in Venice. Kind regards, Luca
I do not regret the investment! It was a quality private tour just for two people. So peaceful, with a private water taxi and a very personal experience. Mikaella, our guide, was perfect. Young and dynamic, originally from the area. We even received a small gift at the end! Top-notch!
A fabulous day with our tour guide Nico. Everything was perfect - Nico was very energetic and clearly very knowledgeable. His insights about Venetian life and history were captivating. We were a large group of 11 and Nico made sure to involve everyone. I highly recommend Nico and ShoMeVenice. A perfect day for my family - thank you.
Sebastian was the perfect tour guide. He was both knowledgeable and charismatic. Murano was very interesting and the glasswork was beautiful. Burneo is like a storybook town. Charming and the lace was beautiful. Overall a lovely day.
Perfect way to spend the day and our guide Georgia was amazing. Highly recommend the private tour to Murano and Burano. The boat ride was lovely and got to see a different side of Venice. The glass factory was impressive. We did feel pressure by the staff to make a large purchase which was a little uncomfortable. Burano was spectacular. We wish we could have stayed longer. Georgi showed us the town and areas that were off the beaten path. Definitely loved this island.
We had such a fabulous time with Nico, a native Venetian, touring the islands of Murano and Burano. Our kids (11,8&6) had a great time seeing how glass is made in the very traditional glass blowing method and seeing lace being made. We all learned something and had a great time. Private boat transfers were so very nice (hold onto your hats though😉🤣).
After a stellar “Real Hidden Venice” tour with Sebastian’s in Venice, we were thrilled when we arrived at our meeting point for this tour and found him again. Guiding us for a second day, he was as engaging and knowledgeable about this nearby islands as he was about Venice proper. Our favorite had to be the beautiful art of glass making. A lifetime of work by master artisans who craft breathtaking pieces with ease and precision in ways that are difficult to comprehend without seeing them in action. Walking through the showroom is an immersive and enlightening experience in what in means to be a true master. They are very much painters of glass. We were all in awe. We continued on to Burano where we learned about the history of the colorful landscape and the almost lost art of lace making. By exposing ourselves to these generational trades, we felt closer to understanding the full depth of what it means to be Venetian, even today. We highly recommend this tour.
Warning – three overpriced water taxi rides! The guide was nice, but in every city you get handed over to a salesperson who tries to sell you something – sometimes quite aggressively. This really took away from the experience. My tip: Just take the Vaporetto – it costs around €20 and you can do your own thing at your own pace. This tour package is definitely a tourist trap and not worth the money.
Dear Markus, Thank you for your review. However, we are unable to find any reservation under your name in our records. Based on the description provided in your review, it appears that you may have reviewed a different tour. Our service is a private tour, exclusively for our guests, accompanied by a private guide who provides commentary and information about the islands visited throughout the experience. Additionally, transportation is provided exclusively by private luxury water taxi. We do not use public water buses (vaporetti) or large commercial boats, which seem to be the type of transportation described in your review. For these reasons, we believe your feedback may have been intended for a different tour operator, likely one of the larger companies that organize group excursions. Best regards Luca
