Alternate excursion on Venice
This was a great excursion we really enjoyed, the glass maker was amazing, guides great. The uses of mics and radios made it easy to hear all the guides has to say.

Pretty good day. Good break from museums.
A little rushed to see three islands with a large group. The tour guide was great. The earphones worked very well. Lunch was eating on the run. Glass factory and lace making very interesting. But could not see the glass blowing because of the crowd

Great experience in Venice!
Pierangelo was an amazing captain and guide. His boat is brand new and the open air felt great on a hot and sunny day. He recommended a lunch place on Torcello which was absolutely delicious. We highly recommend.

Good for the price
Good price for the service. There is an assistant at the pier to direct you to which line you need to be in. There are two tour guides that give basic information such as when to be back to the boat. This is a very large tour and is not personalized in any way. It’s a good option to get to all of the islands without needing to figure out the public transportation system. You are on your own at each of the islands to do what you please. In Marano, they do organize a glass blowing demonstration.

Beautiful afternoon
Pierangelo has a beautiful boat and was super accommodating as we planned a day to Murano and burano for myself my parents and a friend. He had water on board, modified our pickup location and was very informative/conversational. He has lived in Venice his whole life and offers great perspective. It was a great afternoon. Highly recommend!!

Day to the Venice lagoons
It was a good excursion to a Murano and Burano . Little crowded and minor delays. Our tour guide David spoke the most and told us entire history of Venice and even walked group to get a cookie in Burano. Went the extra mile for sure. Never did the third island and really not recommended. Burano was worth staying on longer!!!

Good tour!
Our guide was excellent and gave us background and history of the 2 island communities. The price was good value. There was just enough time to watch the glass blowing demo before we departed for Burano. There was just enough time to get a pizza on Burano before we left. Take the Vaporetta if you want to have enough time to explore both islands with plenty of time. It would have been better if we had more time to explore.

Beautiful scenery and towns!
It was the most enjoyable boat ride to both Burano and Murano. We watched a man make a glass vase and horse and bought a glass necklace and earrings set. In Murano we had a lovely walk through the colourful town and shops. Lovely day

Murano, Burano, Torcello Tour
This was our first time to Venice si we wanted to see Murano, Burano, and Torcello.
This was a lovely tour. It said small group, and we did end up breaking into small groups but all in all, there were over 89 people on the boat.
The glass-blowing demonstration was fun to watch in Murano. The colored buildings in Burano were beautiful and bright! The medieval feel in Torcello was true to its claim. I would do it again and I would come in the summer. It is the end of March and it is 50° F.

How to get there
When to visit

Be sure to bring your camera to capture the picturesque glassblowing demonstrations on Murano and traditional lace-making on Burano.
Murano glass and Burano lace are famous for their impeccable quality—and prices reflect that. Be wary of glass or lace shops that advertise “bargain” prices, which often means low-quality goods imported from outside Italy.
Murano’s glass shops are known for their hard-sell techniques, so always book your Venice islands tour through a reputable company to avoid unpleasant strong-arming tactics.
The church at San Giorgio Maggiore is one of few churches you can visit for free in Venice; if you want to climb its bell tower you’ll have to pay €6.
