We recently made a short trip to Venice, and because we didn’t have a lot of time in our schedule, we booked this morning trip to the Northern Islands of Venice with Alessandro. It was well worth it! We visited an amazing glass factory in Murano, shopped and ate lunch on our own in quaint Burano, and strolled through lovely, less inhabited Torcello. Each island was completely different and each was worth the visit. Along the way, Alessandro gave us historical information on the sites we passed. He let us decide our time on each island and didn't rush us. He skippered his boat with our comfort in mind, inquiring frequently to ensure we weren't cold and that the boat speed was comfortable. I noticed he had several umbrellas on board to lend to his guests, although fortunately we had great weather and did not need them. I highly recommend hiring Alessandro!

Thank you!

Perfect jaunt over to Burano and Murano

A wonderful, personal way to check out Burano and Murano. Allesandro worked diligently to reschedule our tour due to a sketchy weather forecast and he made the right call. He is personable, and knowledgeable about his home and its history, sharing facts and tidbits along the way. He showed genuine concern over our comfort. His boat driving skills are excellent, and flawlessly navigated the wake to minimize any risk of seasickness. Seeing these islands that are so different from Venice through the eyes of a was a great way to spend an afternoon.

Il tour con Alessandro è stato eccellente. La vetreria bellissima e i panorami della laguna sono sempre mozzafiato. Abbiamo anche avuto tempo per esplorare Burano e Torcello, entrambe isole stupende. Grazie ancora! Torneremo

Alla scoperta della laguna nord

Alessandro_V, Mar 2024

Bellissimo tour della laguna nord. La mia parte preferita è stata forse Torcello, che non avevo mai visto. Anche Burano non stanca mai devo dire! Anche la vetreria molto bella e interessante. 10/10
