Veneza: Experiência de Murano e Ilhas Burano

Valentina was an excellent tour guide and we truly enjoyed our boat ride there and back to Morano and Verano. Her positive demeanor and energy brought light to the tour trip. She was very informative and we learned lots about the history and special attractions on the islands. I definitely recommend this tour.

Beautiful day with lots of free time! I really enjoyed the experience lovely towns! I would recommend

I would not recommend this trip especially on a hot day. We had to wait an extra 30 minutes to depart because they combined 3 groups. Once on the boat the audio was of very poor quality. None of this was the fault of the guide, who tried her best. At the Murano glass factory, they were not prepared to give an English tour. A sales person had to step in and was distracted at one point by her other duties. There was nothing premium about this trip. It is not worth the price of $60 pp.

We were a family of 3 with my mom (a senior) & sister and this was an exhilarating experience. The entire activity was well-coordinated / precision-timed from the starting location activities to the boat journey stopping at Murano followed by Burano (and optional Torcello). The tour guide provided a lot of information covering the history, current state, inter-mixed with humor and satire to keep the boat journey as well as the land visits entertaining & informational. It is a treat to watch the live demonstrations of a glass molding at the Murano factory and marvel in the sights of the products. The showroom had some unique pieces for sale and plenty to choose from. Burano was a more spread out village setting with picturesque structures and vendors with good options for lunch / snacks. Despite the sun weighing down, we had a gala time strolling through the village and clicking some memorable moments. The overall duration was about 6 hours from start to finish and the location is very close to the San Zaccaria train station, making it convenient. There was ample of space on the boat and didn't feel crowded but this was the border season with the heat still not at it's summer peak. Overall a satisfying experience and a day well spent admiring the crafts and learning about the origins at a relaxed pace.

We went on a City TOurs private tour. Speed boat got us there quickly., In factory, we watched men heating up glass and making leaves, short talk, long time given to walkig through enormous gallaries. Beautiful. Would have liked to visit a glass blowing factory as well. Went to Burano which is beautiful but would have been nice to have had more time for lunch and wondering through little alleys. 4 hours too little. Knowledgeable friendly guide.

Must do trip for a small group, a lovely journey across the lagoon to these two beautiful islands. Tour guide was knowledgeable , headsets work just fine but inside the boat I found it quite hard to hear over the sound of the engine. Small visit to the Murano factory (not too much of a hard sell of their products) very nice and then plenty of time on Burano for lunch and sightseeing. Thank you.

Joy was a great guide, very informative. Murano and the glass factory was amazing, such artistry! Burano was a wonderful place to walk around and shop. Colorful and quaint. So glad we booked this tour.

Non existent communication- the meeting point changed we were not informed. Quite stressful at the start of a trip. Otherwise the guide was very good.

Terrible company to book with!!! Use Viator instead. I never received any follow up email for the upcoming trip and was never told the name of the tour company this was booked with. Arrived in Venice at the supposed meeting site and NO ONE could help us. Many tours happening at the same time and none of them had my name on their list. Needless to say it was complete chaos!!! I had to purchase another excursion in Venice to be able to experience these islands. Completely unacceptable and I will be demanding a full refund.

The main point in booking the tour rather than going solo was to learn more of the history. Unfortunately the sound system was so poor I couldn’t understand a word of what the guide said. At least 75% of the group stopped wearing the ear pieces, so I wasn’t alone.
