We had a great time... - We had a great time learning about the history of the islands, and of greater Venice. We had the great pleasure of spending the day with a Venetian, of which there aren’t many left, so hearing about their culture first hand was a real treat.

Highlights of Murano and Burano - The guide was very knowledgeable of the history of Venice and the surrounding islands. We really appreciated the fact that after giving us an introduction to the island of Burano she provided a good amount of time to explore the island on our own. One thing to consider is to limit the sales pressure from brokers in the Murano glass making shop to buy glass after the beautiful glass making demonstration.

Alessia is the best guide! - Loved our guide Alessia, so knowledgeable and so kind. The time with the glass maker should be less to allow enough time for lunch and to visit Torcello. The glass on the boats needs to be cleaned to be able to view the islands. Loved visiting Murano and Burano to see how the residents live. Great tour with Alessia - she is wonderful!

Great experience visiting the islands near Venice! - We had a wonderful time on this excursion! The lovely boat ride to the islands was a highlight. Our guide Elenora was knowledgeable, fun and friendly. It was just my husband and I, so they totally customized the day the way we wanted. We loved seeing the Murano glass being made, and bought a gorgeous vase. We had a lovely lunch and wine on Burano island. Highly recommend this experience!

Scenic and cozy - Eleanora was our guide and she was wonderful! You have the option to go to Torcello, Murano, and Burano or just two. She customized the tour for us based on our interests. The glass blowing and lace making tours were informative and very interesting but not long. This gave you time to wander around the island/gift shops for a bit. It is about a 4 hour tour. You can be picked up by private water taxi at your hotel but have to be dropped off at a main drop off site outside of the canals (i.e., Rialto entrance of the grand canal, train station, or San Marco square). Overall a great tour experience and a wonderful guide - worth the cost!

Try another tour - Can’t do all 3 islands in the time allotted…..too much time shopping and not enough touring. Pretty islands.
