High recommendation - An amazing time overall, a little more time at murano would have been good but please ignore comments about Torcello being pointless, here I Visited two museums and a church, all islands had lots to offer and for the price I would definitely recommend! Staff friendly and helpful.

Murano and Burano are really great. Skip torcello totally useless - Great experience in the boat. Guides are great and speak many languages. Murano is very interesting and will require more than 1 hour to seeing glasses factory and main river part. Burano is a must see. Colored house and many restaurant are very pleasant. You have enough time to enjoy a lunch and chill. Torcello is useless. Nothing much to see. I tried to visit the basilica but everything was under construction and they charged me 16 euros for the family. That’s a scam ! So in conclusion spend time in Murano Burano and enjoy the trip.

More time in Murano please :) - Too much time spent at the first glass shop which we were ushered to after the glass demo coming off the boat. if i knew there was a lot more glass shop outside i would just gone right outside and explored the beautiful Murano Island. definitely worth spending more time there, Burano was vey pretty with their coloful houses, Torcello was not worth spending time there. Lunch stop would been much better in Murano. Really loved Murano once we discovered there was an outside the glass shop..... ahhhhh. Really recomend Murano and Burano.

Not very organised.. - Was not a well organised tour.. Time at Murano was limited.. Too much time at Burano where there was really nothing to do.. Would have been happy to spend more time at Murano rather than Burano.. Torcello was a total waste of time as there was really nothing there to see..

Wait until you arrive and book through your hotel. - Very difficult to find the right boat. The boat personnel were not helpful. The guide tells loudly in 5-6 languages everything you see while riding the boat and it is non-stop loud chatter. Glass demonstration was very brief and few techniques were described. We don’t recommend.

Total waste of time and money. - Very disappointing and was a waste of time. Spoke with others that said the same thing. "Tour" was only on the boat and Torcello was absolutely a waste of time. NOTHING TO SEE. Everyone was waiting for the boat at least 30 minutes before meeting time. Too much time in Burano and rushed in Morano. Boats were changed so you didn't know if you were on the right one, especially since our "tour guide" did not stay for the whole trip.
