Good option for this tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Tour was really good and the guide was friendly and informative . Really is a must see to visit the islands and see the glass blowing . Unfortunately, it was raining and during the boat ride we really couldn’t see anything but that is Mother Nature to blame . I would recommend this tour .

Highly Recommended

Published on Oct, 2024

Honestly thought this was a scam because it was so inexpensive for the value of the trip. But it was truly great! It is a nice break from the hustle and bustle of Venice - the islands are truly amazing and you receive very good info from the tour guides. You spend a little time on each island for shopping and the required gelato lol, and get to see Venice from the lagoon. Highly recommend!!

Definitely go to Murano and Burano islands

Published on Sep, 2024

We started by going to Murano island, the glass island. We had a short five minute glass demonstration where the glass maker made a pitcher and a horse figurine. Then we walked through a bunch of rooms with expensive glass objects, but we were also able to go shopping down the road. Next we went to Burano island, the lace island (also called the island of colored houses). There was a lady in one of the shops that was doing a demonstration of making a lace picture. We were able to walk around the island and our guide Claudia had told us about a special cookie called Esse (S) cookies and so we bought a few of those. It was definitely worth it to go see these islands and our guide Claudia was so nice and informative the whole time.

Lovely tour

Published on Aug, 2024

Small group, driven by water taxi, it was really nice! Sabrina was a lovely and pleasant tour guide, we enjoyed the tour.

Murano and Burano, must see locales!

Published on Jun, 2024

It was a Saturday, so very busy in Venice. This tour was recommended by a friend before I left home. They were right! Got us on a leisurely cruise to close islands about 30 minutes away. The glass blowing in murano was amazing and the attached museum and pieces for sale was outstanding! Go all the way through the shops and walk around the square. Burano is known for lace and linens and there were plenty of tent shops as well as storefronts along your path. It must have been wash your undies day as every apartment had underwear stretched out apartment to apartment! Enjoy yourself and definitely get a gelato while there!
