Fabulous tour. Our guide Nico was very knowledgeable and made pick up and drop off easy. A lovely young man. We skipped the crowds, had a personalised tour of Murano and Burano. Would highly recommend!
Georgia was a wonderful tour guide. She gave an overview of the layout of venice and was very personable. She provided an excellent recommendation for dinner and shared cookies soecific to burano. She herself is a Murano native. That said, I would try to get her for another tour. This tour, while lovely, was a big sales pitch at a glass factory and a lace shop. When we did not purchase anything, the annoyance was visible.
Georgia was our guide- personable, knowledgeable, delightful! Great glass blowing presentation and beautiful lace factory. Just wonderful four hours!
My 15 year old daughter and I enjoyed this experience walking around and learning about the local unique art forms of glass blowing and lace making. Giorgia was a wonderful guide and even suffered patiently while I practiced a little Italian 🤣. The private boat transfers were a welcome relaxed treat that enhanced the experience.
Thomas was an excellent guide and was very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this tour. We learned a lot !
Nico was our host and he was just exceptional. So friendly and knowledgeable about Venice. He was terrific with a young child as well. Making sure we had plenty of stops for water and shade. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learning and Murano and Burano. Couldn’t recommend Nico more highly.
Mihaela is an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed the morning seeing the sites of Murano and Burano.
Incredible and unique experience! Nico was an excellent guide and ensured we got the most out of our time. He engaged our kids, patiently answered their many questions and provided great support when one of our children started feeling ill from the heat. Quick action from Nico and others involved on the tour ensured she was feeling better quickly and we could all continue to enjoy the tour and the rest of our last day in Venice!
We have been all over Spain and Italy on this trip and this was our favorite tour. Mihaela was amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the islands and super friendly. She was also able to customize the tour based on our interests.
The reason for the 4 is because it felt like something was missing. While the guide was great, the organization of the tour and the logistics were done perfectly it felt like there was something missing. Within the short time of the tour felt like had a bit too much of the free time.
