We had a wonderful time on this excursion! The lovely boat ride to the islands was a highlight. Our guide Elenora was knowledgeable, fun and friendly. It was just my husband and I, so they totally customized the day the way we wanted. We loved seeing the Murano glass being made, and bought a gorgeous vase. We had a lovely lunch and wine on Burano island. Highly recommend this experience!

Eleanora was our guide and she was wonderful! You have the option to go to Torcello, Murano, and Burano or just two. She customized the tour for us based on our interests. The glass blowing and lace making tours were informative and very interesting but not long. This gave you time to wander around the island/gift shops for a bit. It is about a 4 hour tour. You can be picked up by private water taxi at your hotel but have to be dropped off at a main drop off site outside of the canals (i.e., Rialto entrance of the grand canal, train station, or San Marco square). Overall a great tour experience and a wonderful guide - worth the cost!

What an awesome day on the islands of Murano & Burano!! A private tour is the way to go here. Beautiful wooden boat to ourselves along with an extremely knowledgeable tour guide. Eleonora was wonderful & gave us so much info! The glass factory tour was amazing!! Highly recommend this tour to see these magnificent areas of Venice!

Selena was a great guide. She brought us to Murano to see the glass blowing. Very interesting but very very expensive to buy. Then onto beautiful Burano. The colorful houses and the peaceful atmosphere was a nice break from Venice! Thanks Selena for making our trip so enjoyable!

Elanora was a fantastic tour guide. Having a private tour was fantastic as was the private boat. The glass blowing demonstration was amazing

Kids enjoyed the glass making experience. The boat ride was fun for everyone. Ms Eleanora was a great guide and knowledgeable with Italy's history.

This was absolutely marvelous! It was a totally private tour and the guy was so wonderful. We had the boat to ourselves and they were so funny and nice. The glass museum tour was also absolutely excellent. I can’t recommend this enough.

Overall we had a really fantastic time. We went to the Murano glass blowing factory to start. We had a tour of the facilities including observing of their master glass blowers making a variety of objects. In particular, the made a glass cup and a small glass figurine of a cat. The craftsmanship was incredible. We then went through their showcase of different glass sculptures/items etc and you could just look or you could purchase these items. From there, we got back on the boat to Burano and viewed the quaint little community of different colored houses. Shops also lined the streets and you were able to buy some trinkets. We had lunch at a local recommended restaurant and we had some delicious seafood. At the conclusion we were taken back to Venice. Federico was our tour guide and he was great.. very informative, very engaging and he definitely made the experience fly by! Would definitely recommend this tour.

Selena was a fantastic guide! Absolutely loved this tour! The glass blowing demonstrations were wonderful to see how the beautiful glass was made. Walking along Burano with the beautifully colored streets- so peaceful.
