Perfect! - This tour was exactly what we were looking for. The meeting spot was easy to find and it was a beautiful day in and around Venice. We took a comfortable boat to both islands and had our own time to walk around, see the sights, eat lunch and really enjoy both places.

Murano & Burano Oct 23 - Burano was beautiful and worth the trip on its own.
The glass factory exhibition showed the real skill involved.
Good commentary and very reasonable price.

Fun boat tour - The boat tour was amazing. Murano glass blowers were incredible. The island of Burano was so colorful and cheerful. We didn't have time to go to Torcello, so we took a water taxi back to Venice.
The only down side was lugging the glassware we bought around to the other island and carrying it while we walked.

Lovely trip - Watching the glass blowing made me really appreciate how much work goes into each piece. The lace making was beautiful

Efficient and Economical way to see the 3 islands - but don't get trapped in the Murano glass store at the start!! - easy way to see 3 of the key islands in the Venetto (and cheaper than using the Water Bus Vaporetto system!). My main criticism - the first stop in Murano was (almost) hurt by a very very unnecessary stop in the store as we first arrived on the island. Just watch the glass blowing- and - do as we did- ESCAPE the store and explore! You only have a short time and wasting any of it in the overly touristy store as you arrive is silly! Use their boat- but don't follow their commercial ploy to trap you!

The islands are beautiful and very peaceful. - The experience going to Murano and Burano islands was uinique. The only drawback of this trip was that the guide did not provide us with audioguides as it was promised in the description if the trip.

Easy boat ride to get an overview - We saw 2 islands and had a glass blowing demo; we wandered around Burano and had lunch on our own. it was a relaxing trip. If you want more action rather than casual, relaxing sightseeing, this isn't for you. Good for families with kids.

Both islands are lovely, but you don’t need a tour to see them - Not that good, you could probably take the vaparetto to these islands and have a better time. Not enough time in Murano to explore the island, arrive via the shop and whole boat load of people is sent through the shop - it just felt like we had been ferried there to spend money at the factory. Burano was excellent but as stated if you just want to explore the islands, there are cheaper ways to do it.
