Great tour guide. However , we were cheated out of a silver chain at the Murano Factory. We bought an item and we were supposed to get a chain. We got a black string necklace. We did not discover this until my wife went to put the jewelry on back at our hotel. Buyer beware! Rest of the tour was excellent with a very meaningful visit to the Church of Santa Barbara.

A fantastic guide, Guido (I think) and great captain. My guide was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. An amazing glass blowing demonstration at Murano Island, followed by a visit to a lace shop in Burano Island, where we also had free time to take photos and grab lunch. I would highly recommend this tour. Just the perfect amount of time.

Boat trip much longer than expected, probably 2 hours in total. Murano glass demonstration was interesting and Burano was a nice, quieter escape from Venice.

Very interesting. It was good to see the wider Venice. Guide very informative . Murano glass demonstration was fascinating

Lovely private boat ride to Burano Island with a fun, knowledgeable guide. We had time to shop for lace items and then off to Murano for a glass blowing demo. I would have liked more time to shop. Some chose to stay but I preferred to travel back on the small boat rather than deal with crowds.

The meeting point is not readily labeled. I had to search the area for the tour guides. It was frustrating as it got closer to departure time.

The boat was comfortable and the guide was informative and clear. In Murano, the glass blowing is fantastic to see, the glass master just makes it look so easy In burano, so pretty, lovely to get a small bite to eat and head back There isn’t much to do on either of these islands but the relaxed pace and the beautiful setting is enough. Highly recommend this trip

The guide was nice, gave us a lot of information. We would’ve liked to have more time to explore Murano.

The glass blowing demonstration was phenomenal. The walk through of the shop was beautiful. Felt limited only had an hour before we had to move to Burano. Burano was better, had two hours to tour the island. Food was fresh and delicious. Lace demonstration was phenomenal and enlightening. Our guide Racheal was excellent! Informative, funny, witty and knows the well. Excellent recommendations!!
