This was a fantastic experience! Our tour guide, Beatrice, was amazing. She was fun, friendly and very knowledgeable about Venice and the islands. I would highly recommend this tour!
One of the most enjoyable days I can remember. Tour was incredibly well-organised and our guide was friendly, knowledgable and thoroughly professional. The day was flexible with us having the ability to choose as much or as little time on each island. I could not recommend this more highly.
Absolutely and unbelievably one of the best days of my life. Giuseppe, who arranged not only this tour but many other activities for me, is a dream come true. He was so helpful on my first trip to Venice! Our guide, Kristina, was a delight to spend the day with. I am not sure there is anything she didn’t know and she is just a wonderful person to spend time with. We are so grateful we had an opportunity to learn from her and we thoroughly enjoyed her company and amazing knowledge. Please book this tour. It will become a memory of a lifetime.
We had such a wonderful and memorable day on our tour of the Grand Canal, Murano, and Burano. The private tour was perfect for our family of six. Our Guide (I apologize as I don't know how to spell) was amazing and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our day making memories as a family in Italy. Thank you!
Excellent afternoon! Learned so much and saw 2 beautiful islands. Highly recommended! Our guide made it seamless and easy to get around.
Kristina was awesome! Super personable and extremely knowledgeable. We had just a few hours to get a taste of Venice and this tour did the trick. The private taxis were warm and comfortable. Kristina helped to point out and facilitate great photo taking opportunities. The glass factory and lace shop were fascinating. We had an hour to kill before our train back to Florence and Kristina helped to point out a great walk and a couple of wine bars to help us spend the time. A great day!
We were met in Venice after the tender trip in to the city by our guide Sylvia. She was a delight to chat with and very knowledgeable. It was such fun going by private taxi boats to the islands and listening to her explain the history and local color of the area. The visit to the glass works and tour was like a visit to a glass museum. Thanks for a wonderful day.
We had a wonderful experience with our Grand Canal and Murano and Burano boat tour. We really enjoyed getting to ride down the Grand Canal and both islands. It was the perfect amount of time. Our guide was awesome and catered to us and our kids. She took us to a gelato store in Burano and let us use umbrellas when it was raining. Highly recommend this tour and the tour company was great to work with!
Our guide(Kristina) was thoroughly on target with the information as well as the presentation during our tour. She had a knack of connecting with her guests and making us feel a part of the story. Her English was excellent and she was free with information when it was needed.
Excellent tour option. We passed the Grand Canal by Limousine and followed to Murano. We meet the oldest glass factory and head to the colorful and romantic Burano! Leandro, our Brazilian guide, impeccably kind! We recommend!
