Loved Murano and Burano - We had a wonderful tour to Murano and Burano with David. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. His explanations about the history, culture, glassmaking traditions of Murano, and the colorful charm of Burano were informative without ever feeling overwhelming. What really made the tour special was David’s sense of humor and relaxed style — he kept everyone entertained while still sharing fascinating details and local insights. He was patient with questions, organized, and made sure everyone felt included throughout the day. The tour was the perfect balance of learning, sightseeing, and fun. We left with a much deeper appreciation for the islands and some great memories as well. Highly recommend touring with David if you’re visiting Venice and want a guide who is both professional and personable.

Well worth taking this Tour.. - Very informative tour. we were split into English, French and Spanish speaking.,with Italien commentary also in the 3 groups. Tour was about 5 and a half hours with enough time to see each stop. The boat is large with 2 decks and a toilet.

The islands themselves... - The islands themselves are beautiful and easy to explore by walking. I missed out on most of the information from the guide: the sound system had so much static and with the guide’s accent I could understand only about every 3rd or 4th word.

Murano and Burano - Have a nice visit with a guide named Ilaria very kind who explained us many interesting things and who answered all our questions. Visit a little short that does not leave too much time to stroll.

An average crowded experience - The group was really big, so the boat was packed. Three tours in one with 3 guides in different languages. They use radios and headsets so at least you can hear, but the boat seats are around the side so it is hard to see and it would be nice to have outdoor seating. The first stop at Murano is too long. After the glass blowing demonstration there is not much too do. Burano was a better stop at least there is some good Gelato around. This was an average tour that showed a couple other islands but nothing amazing.

Nice souvenirs - You pretty much do this tour by yourself, which is nice. But their is a tour guide, it is very hard to hear what the tour guide is saying and the ear piece they give does not stay on. It is something you can also do by water taxi yourself. There are very nice glass blown souvenirs.

Murano Tour - I couldn't do the activity and I lost the money. The boat I was coming on, disembarked late and I couldn't make it to the tour.
