What are people saying about Venice

Juan_A, Apr 2026

Loved It!

The Luxury Tour of Murano & Burano by private boat and guide was easily one of the best experiences we had in Venice. From the moment we started, everything felt premium, well organized, and thoughtfully designed. Visiting both islands by private boat adds a completely different level of comfort and exclusivity, allowing you to enjoy the scenery without the crowds and typical tourist rush. What truly made this tour exceptional was our guide. He was absolutely spectacular. His family is directly involved in the glassmaking tradition in Murano, which gave the entire experience a much deeper and more authentic perspective. You’re not just hearing generic explanations, you’re getting real insight from someone who is personally connected to the craft. That alone elevates the value of the tour significantly. On top of that, he spoke excellent Spanish, which made everything even more fluid and enjoyable. His way of explaining, his knowledge, and his attitude made a huge difference throughout the day. Overall, this is a top-tier experience in Venice and definitely something we would recommend if you’re looking for a more exclusive, meaningful, and high-quality tour.

Good Intro to Venice

Our tour guide, Sneh, had several years of local experience in Venice, yet spoke English well. He not only walked us through many of the great spots to visit while in Venice, but he also explained the layout, the neighborhoods, and gave us additional insights that were great for our time there.

Murano and Burano tour

Private tour. Just my wife and I. Overall a good experience. Giulia was a local and very experienced in sharing culture and history. We loved her recommendations for food and where to spend our free time on Burano. Our Private water taxi driver was helpful in providing a timely and comfortable experience. Murano glass blowing was interesting to see, but felt pressure to purchase glass after the demonstration. Guess because we were in a private tour…. Burano was a beautiful island providing alot of food options and pictures.

Informative, Pleasant, Private walking tour of Venice.

Majid was on time and very professional. We enjoyed all the facts and history he shared with us about Venice. He made sure we all stuck together well and that we could all hear him. Majid did a wonderful job and we would book with him again. It was also very nice to have just our own small group and be able to stop and start when we wanted.

Amazing experience

Our guide Marina made this tour the most amazing experience. She took us to the places that the locals frequent making it an authentic experience. My 15yr old son even had a great time, and you know how hard it is to make teenagers happy!!! She was knowledgeable, engaging, and just a great guide all the way around. It was like sightseeing with an old friend who lives locally. Would recommend this tour 1000%. Thanks again Marina!!!! We left with our bellies and hearts full!

Private tour on Murano Island: discover the art of Artisanal Glassblowing

Mark_H, Nov 2025

A beautiful afternoon

A beautiful tour. Not fast paced or crowded. We enjoyed the private water taxi across to the islands of Murano and Burano. As our tour was in the afternoon we watched the sunset over the water. Beautiful. Glass blowing. Lace making. Cookie baking. All artisan crafts. Each one different and unique. And each one in danger of disappearing. We were greeted with a lovely glass of cool drink to watch the demonstration. Our glass blower is a true genius who was singing and humming as he worked. The others with him moved together like a well choreographed dance. It was magical and beautiful to watch. The woman making lace in Burano was also beautiful to behold. Her fingers were working quickly and delicately to create the most beautiful craftsmanship I’ve ever seen. As we sampled the traditional cookies we enjoyed the soft buttery flavor. Not too sweet. Just right. Of course we purchased something and would’ve bought more if we’d had time. That was the only downside. As it is the end of the season. The sun is setting earlier and we’re the last tour of their day. Overall a beautiful way to spend our first afternoon in Venice.

Fast and Furious Doge’s Palace Tour

Our Guide Eddy was fabulous. Our transportation plans were changed at the last minute causing our tour to be shortened. Instead of being irritated, our guide got us through an educational and fact filled tour at a rapid place. She kept track of the time and made sure we saw and heard the major points. Then she walked us to our taxi. Eddy was knowledgeable, expressive and fun.

An absolute must, with best tour guide.

This was an excellent tour. An absolute must whilst in Venice. Great value for money. What made it most special was our tour guide Giovanni, he was knowledgable, polite and went over and above what was expected. Definitely bring cash and negotiate in the factory, the glassware is stunning.

Memories Forever

A great entry experience to our first day in Venice. Elena, our tour guide, grew up in Venice and gave us the local view into this unique city, its history & traditions. The arranged gondola ride was extra special. Elena’s relationship with her fellow tourist colleagues got us right up & in. She also surprised us with photos of us - special & memories forever.
