Creme de la creme - For some context, I always try to pick out the best guided tours everywhere I go so I take my time reading reviews and picking the best as a lot of operators offer the same tour. This was different however… we were late to the start of the tour as our train was running late but that wasn’t an issue for Luka, he was already waiting for us at our hotel. Moving onto the tour we had a private boat taxi to ourselves on every stop which was super nice and convenient. We also got to see a glass blowing master in action, all to ourselves and even got the chance to try glass blowing! Luka was very engaging and had plenty of stories during the boat rides as well. He was up for any questions and was extremely passionate about Venice. Constantly offered to take pictures of my wife and I, told us about all the best spots and angles to take photos of the islands. He also knew the way around the islands to avoid big crowds and enjoy the peacefulness of the islands. Highly recommend!

A must in Venice - The glass tour was unforgettable. Thank you Georgia for showing us your beautiful home. We were able to order some custom pieces. The lace was spectacular and so delicate. A must do tour when you are in Venice.

The best way to see Murano & Burano - Our tour guide was absolutely fabulous! He was knowledgeable, incredibly good with our two kids (keeping them engaged and us informed), and went above and beyond to cater to our requests help make this one of the best experiences of our trip to Italy. Thank you so much!

The perfect tour and the perfect guide for our first day in Venice! - Our tours to the islands were interesting, informative, and exceptional thanks to our personable guide, Matteo, sharing his extensive knowledge and good vibes. Being mobility-challenged, we needed special assistance to cope with the various landscapes and Matteo took care of us like he was one of the family - highly recommended!

Great overall experience of Venice and surrounding area. - Our tour of these two islands were fantastic. Got to see glass blowing and then went to Burano and toured the city. Our guide, Natasha was very good. We went on the of the regatta but made both islands.

Fun to be on the water, but overall tour was so so - We felt like we were being brought there to buy the glass and the lace. We needed more information told to us about what we were doing and where going. Our guide was very sweet. We did not know Luca who we saw was such a famous glass blower until after. I think you should tell people that ahead of time. The tour was not super fun. Borano was a cute town…but way too much time there just walking around. The ladies in the lace store were way too pushy. It was awkward.
