BELLISIMO ~ can’t miss tour! - Luca is engaging, passionate and fun, and brings a wealth of knowledge to create a spectacular tour!
He has an amazing knowledge of the history and legacy of the island of Murano thanks to his family’s connection to the skilled glassware artisans and their traditions. The behind the scenes tour of the glass factory, and glassblowing was fascinating!
The island of Burano was so charming ~ I adored the colorful architecture! Luca shared his love for the island and treated us to a traditional cookie!
We loved our private boat ride to Murano and Burano with just Luca, the driver and us. It was a magical way to transport us to these islands!
We felt like old friends by the time we had to say goodbye, and I loved that we parted with a hug . . . until next time!
Highly, highly recommend this tour!

Excellent private tour - We had an excellent day with Natasha, our guide. We stopped in Burano first and spent time walking through the colorful streets and then stopped in one of the lace stores. We also received some Venetian cookies which were absolutely delicious. Then we went to Murano and watched a glass making demonstration. Natasha was so passionate about Venice and its history and we learned a lot during our time with her! Paying the extra for a private tour was worth it for us.

The top highlight of our trip to Italy! - Simply put, this was the top experience of our time in Italy! Matteo, our tour guide, was punctual, highly knowledgeable, personable, and patient with answering all our questions. And to make the tour even sweeter, the boat ride to Murano and Burano was simply magical. Perfect weather, beautiful sites along the way, and personal tour of the Murano glass factory and Burano lace shop that was a one-of-a-kind experience. Do not miss it!!
