Full day tour yet still relaxing and a lot of fun and interesting - It was a great tour. Loved it. We started with a tour of St. Marks Basilica, Doge’s Palace and then did a gondola ride. We had a break to grab a quick lunch before starting the 2nd part of the tour with a visit to Murano and Burano islands, both beautiful.

Perfect Venice Tour - Perfect Venice tour! It’s divided into two, with the islands in the afternoon and different guides for both. You’ll have a hour for lunch in between.

All the “must sees” in one day - Marco was a great guide for Doge’s pace and St Marks. Very informative and funny. He did a great job keeping everyone together in very busy locales. Sylvia was a fabulous guide for Murano and Burano. She was very fun! Lots of great anecdotes as a Venice local. She shared a lot of information about the various islands and their history. Very informative. Very kind! We enjoyed our tour very much! It was a long day, but we had limited time in Venice and it covered all of the must sees in one day! Definitely a great way to make the most of a short visit!

Good with knowledgeable and experienced guides - Great experience to get a flavour of murano and Burano. Very knowledgeable guide for Doges Palace and Basilica. Good if you’re time poor but if you have more time book longer tour for the islands.
