An Amazing Day Exploring the Venetian Islands! - This tour from Venice to Murano, Burano, and Torcello was absolutely fantastic! It was an incredible way to see the iconic islands of the Venetian Lagoon in just one day. This tour is so much interesting and full of history, culture, and craftsmanship of each island. Murano was a highlight, where we got to watch a glassblowing demonstration — truly a remarkable experience! Burano, with its colorful houses and lace-making traditions, was straight out of a postcard. Then, Torcello, a peaceful and historical island, offered a lovely break with its ancient churches and quiet atmosphere. The boat ride between islands was scenic and relaxing. This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Venice!

this was an okay... - this was an okay excursion. the times at each island were short. the island of torcello, as they told us, was known for its restaurants however we weren’t given enough time to sit and eat at one. the only guide giving us info was the person on the boat and it was over a muffled loudspeaker so we couldn’t really hear. also the meeting point directions were rather confusing. the day before we were sent a whatsapp instruction, that was different from the one in app. but the change in time zone change and being on vacation led me to forget about it and use the one from the app which took us to the wrong point and we were about 1 minute from missing the boat. all in all, it was nice. the islands were beautiful and unique and if you’re just looking to see the islands quickly, this trip works and it’s good for the price.

Not recommended - don’t waste your money - Average. Basically, this was a boat ride to 3 islands. You can simply purchase the tickets for yourself from any of the water taxi stops and save yourself some money. We got left behind at the last stop because we were literally 1 minute late - departure time was 2:35 pm and we arrived at the dock watching them sail off despite the fact that they took a headcount of passengers at every other stop and knew good and well how many people were supposed to be on deck. I get the importance of timeliness; however, putting that aside, there was nothing special about their service or this experience and wouldn’t recommend it.
