Nadia is an amazing,... - Nadia is an amazing, gives great detail and really lets you create your own tour if you want. We wanted to do certain things on Burano and she was very accommodating to our preferences. She made it so fun and entertaining, didn’t feel like a true tour guide due her fun attitude but also extensive knowledge.

Murano, Burano and Torcello Boat Tour - Such a fun day on the water seeing the islands around Venice. Even though the weather was a little grey, the boats were comfortable and warm and the sights were awesome. Saw glass blowing in Murano, wonderful lunch in Burano and gorgeous church in Torcello. Learned a lot and everyone had a blast.

Fantastic Day Exploring Three Islands. - Our party of three thoroughly enjoyed our six hour private tour. We started with a glass blowing tour on Murano which was exceptional. Our tour there culminated with each of us trying our hand at glass blowing. Next we ventured to Burano and enjoyed a typical Venetian lunch at a local restaurant. We saw lace being made and had time to shop. Our final stop was Trocello - what a special place. This island is quaint and has fewer tourists. We visited a church and enjoyed a leisurely stroll. This tour exceeded any expectation we had. Our guide Nadia was extremely knowledgeable, clearly knew the best spots to go and had a warm and inviting personality. The day was like visiting a long time friend. Between each island we were transported by private water taxi. If you are looking for a luxurious way to tour a few islands around Venice with an exceptional guide, we highly recommend this tour.

A wonderful day! - What a great day! You can tell Nadia has spent a lot of time researching the best glass factory to take you to. Awesome demonstration and beautiful gallery. Burano was too notch, Nadia knew all the places to get the best pics. The trip wouldn't have been complete without a stop in Torcello. Definitely recommend.

Great tour with a great guide. Loved it - Excellent tour with an excellent guide. We went to many off the beat and path places including an amazing artisan glass place in Murano that had no other tourists. Highly recommend this tour.

Murano/Burano/Torcello exclusive boat tour - Nadia put together a wonderful bespoke trip for our family today! Our 16 year old and 21 year old were thrilled with the adjustments she made to the itinerary suit their interests. The glass artisan we visited was an exclusive find, and lunch in Burano was off the typical tourist path. Boats were beautiful. Definitely the highlight of our visit to Venice!

It was fun to see the... - It was fun to see the islands, but this tour was very limiting, from the description, I thought that we would have freedom once we got to the islands to choose where we go. They took us to one glass factory on Murano, it was clearly a partnership; they chose the restaurant we went to on Torcello, which was average and we got very little time in Burano, my favorite of the three. Our guide was great, i'm sure she was bound by a predetermined itinerary. Just wish the description had been more detailed so we knew ahead of time what we were getting into.
