Amazing Venice Islands Tour! - Amazing Venice Islands Tour! We had a great time on the Venice Islands Cruise: Murano Glass and Rainbow Burano with City Tours CO. LTD. Our guide, Ilaria was friendly, knowledgeable and made the day so enjoyable. We learned a lot about Venice and its nearby islands. The glassblowing demo in Murano was fascinating and we loved visiting Burano…especially tasting the delicious Bussolai cookies! A fun and memorable experience — we highly recommend this tour and Ilaria ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3 island tour - We visited three islands off Venice. In Murano we saw a glassblowing demonstration and walked around. In Burano we saw lace and all the beautiful houses and canals. And in Torcello we explored the beautiful island. On the boat the guides explained the history etc. one of our favorite activities in Italy

Great guide, lovely boat trip, demos a waste of time. - Best part was the lovely boat ride! Very knowledgeable well-spoken guide. The visit to the glass work demonstration far inferior to Waterford in Ireland. Only 15 minutes, then “exit thru the gift shop”. Burano lace was a waste of time, barely a demonstration and shop shop shop.

Murano and Burano tour - The ear speaker unit used to communicate from the tour guide was terrible. The previous day we had a unit that came with a single ear bud - sound was great. This tour there was terrible feedback and the unit didn’t stay in our ears. Guide was great, information was good. I wish we had a bit more time in Murano and more info at the factory. Murano and glass blowing was my most looked forward to stop but we enjoyed Burano very much.

Poor organization; good for the guide - Overall it was fine, but it could have been much better if the organization was different. We waited a long time to leave; in Murano there is no time to walk as after the visit to the factory there are just 10 minutes free. In the case of choosing the Torcello ride, Burano time is saved instead of doing different groups. Hire the Civitatis tour and it is the first time an activity does not meet expectations. I must point out that the guide, Gaia, was very friendly, fluent in Spanish and was very attentive.

Too crowded, only so-so - The destinations were nice. Burano, especially was beautiful. The guide lost half the group by walking quicker than the stragglers could keep up. The descriptions were ok but not special. On board the boat, it was overcrowded with pushy tourists from every country. Overall, it worked out to be just average and a water taxi to Burano and Murano would’ve been just as good.

Not bad, but a couple of problems. - This is a worthwhile trip to take. Murano is amazing, Burano is quaint and pretty, Torcello is one of the few times you will not be around crowds...not bad. But the tour had a couple of negatives. The first was the fact that none of us could hear our guide through the earpieces we were given. It wasn't just my set, it was everyone's (a group of 6). The second negative was the obvious sales nature of the Murano visit. I don't mind this, and kind of expected it. But the pitch was pretty hardball. We honestly might have bought something had the pitch not been so hard. That just makes us want to walk away. Anyway, it was a nice way to spend the day. Hopefully they'll fix the headset problem, and just be aware that the sales pitch will be coming in at 100 mph.
