Highly recommended - Fantastic visit of the Murano and Burano islands with a friendly and local guide (ciao Matteo!) on a private boat (protected from wind if you wonder).

Loved It! - The Luxury Tour of Murano & Burano by private boat and guide was easily one of the best experiences we had in Venice. From the moment we started, everything felt premium, well organized, and thoughtfully designed. Visiting both islands by private boat adds a completely different level of comfort and exclusivity, allowing you to enjoy the scenery without the crowds and typical tourist rush. What truly made this tour exceptional was our guide. He was absolutely spectacular. His family is directly involved in the glassmaking tradition in Murano, which gave the entire experience a much deeper and more authentic perspective. You’re not just hearing generic explanations, you’re getting real insight from someone who is personally connected to the craft. That alone elevates the value of the tour significantly. On top of that, he spoke excellent Spanish, which made everything even more fluid and enjoyable. His way of explaining, his knowledge, and his attitude made a huge difference throughout the day. Overall, this is a top-tier experience in Venice and definitely something we would recommend if you’re looking for a more exclusive, meaningful, and high-quality tour.

A wonderful morning - We had a wonderful morning visiting Morano and Burano. Everything went smoothly, the guide was knowledgeable and friendly. My 8 year old son even got to help drive one of the boats. We enjoyed watching the masters create a beautiful vase in Morano. Then, we saw some beautiful homes and enjoyed a short stroll, local cookies and lace.

Top-Notch Experience! - From start to finish, the experience was absolutely amazing. Hats off to our excellent guide, Sebastian, who made the entire journey truly special with his deep knowledge, friendly approach, and engaging personality. We laughed, learned, and most importantly, had a wonderful time throughout. If we were to visit again, we would undoubtedly request Sebastian as our guide once more. Top-notch service – highly recommended!

Beautiful islsnds - We took the private tour of Murano and Burano which included the glass tour and lace shop visit. I highly recommend visiting both islands but other than the private boat, I’m not sure we really needed a private guide. We were happy to have a couple hours each place, so I would arrange transportation accordingly.
